CONTEC CMS50I Wearable Pulse Oximeter

Easy to use, light weight

This was an easy to use device. You turn it on and put it on your belly until you find the baby heart beat. It is a little tricky finding the hearbeat at first if you're less than 12 weeks pregnant, especially with your own heart beat interfering with the sound. it took us 20 minutes the first few times, but after a couple of uses, we became experts at finding it quickly. it helped us watching a couple of youtube videos of women using it and explaining what sound you should be looking for.

You must have some gel to make it work. They send you a small tube with it at first, but that runs out after 4 to 5 uses. You can purchase the aloe vera gel from target and walmart, and that works very well. I recommend this product to anyone expecting a baby.Read full review

Very Slick Little Device

If you need to know if your dropping oxygen during the night, heart rate is inconsistent, breathing problems which promotes these very things, it records it all and provide a simple graph of the happenings with time line. Take that to your doctor to support your reason for being there. Also nice for checking your newborns. The info is online via several vendors just Google the model number. Reason for 4 stars instead of 5? Nobodies perfect. $80+ shipped is a fair price. Less is best. More is a milker. The options for this thing needs to be read about for there are many good functions. For those what don't like wearing night sensing devices, there's got to be one out there that is finger tip only with a very long connecting tube to a laptop but I haven't found it yet. When someone turns at night, the bulk of the light weight wrist device might wake one up. It's definitely helped me with my Mom's doctor visits when I could get her to wear it.Read full review

Compact with a lot of features.

Works well so far, seems to be good quality, has memory. Unfortunately it only connects to PC/windows, not to Macs.
Slow delivery.

Monitor with ETCO2 capability

Product arrived well packaged, the screen is pretty large (I though out a 12 inch screen might be limited but it is more than enough.
I chose this product as a used monitor with ETCO2 capability was going for more than twice the list price of this new monitor.

Came with all necessary cables, one adult BP cuff etc.
The ISSUE, getting the co2 to work, this is NOT plug and play. Instruction booklet was useless. Could heAR co2 module working BUT no ETCO2 wave form on screen, flipping through menus I attempted to turn the co2 module on but permanently greed out. Called India but no answer (probably my fault with time delay)

Finally looked for YouTube video, it is 12 minute long, 4-5 minute before end tells you how to turn co2 module on. You have to put a code in (extremely hard to see numbers on video VERY blurry, play back x15 to try figure it out) so
First code is: 88888 (note only 5 eights)
Second code 2088 (took me 20min to figure out)

YOU are still NOT done! Have to go into ETCO2 menu, go to last option there (if I recall more, or more settings, and then have to turn ETCO2 module to "measure" from its original standby mode.

This above process took me better half of 3 hours, very frustrating!!! This is NOT plug and play. Unfortunate as product seems decent quality. NOTE THIS it does not "feel" high end and I can not speak for durability but the price is right and for someone getting started it's all you need (that is until something breaks and you have no certified tech to fix it as this is an indian/ Chinese monitor that they don't know how to service. (I hope I am way off until above happens and/or find a good bioengineering guy).
Goodluck, I don't think you will be disappointed with this monitor for the priceRead full review

Great Product for the price

I gave this a 5 star rating, it works just like the top dollar ones . It is made well too. As an oxy meter is important to my overall wellbeing, I was so pleased that it works as well as the expensive one that I have. What a neat little bag to keep it in as well. I am thankful that I found this oxymeter not only at such a wonderful price but that it is still performing well. I would buy this again and I probably will purchase another one for a spare.

Small portable oximeter and pulse rate

This little gadget does a good job at measuring - provided you take it's readouts with the accuracy expected from a low cost small unit.
Blood oxygen would be +/= 3% of the readout of a professional medical unit. Not bad for a low cost unit.
Heart beat rate is more accurate. You should wait 10 - 20 seconds for the unit to get the correct average beat rate, as it tends to show the first readout too quickly, and then takes average on more heartbeats until it stabilizes on a more accurate readout.Read full review

Great for those days when you need the extra reassurance everything is ok!!

Loved our while i was pregnant, and have kept it safely for my number two one of these days. Once you know where your babies heart beat is, very easy to use! Highly recommend for peace of mind, since i previously had a miscarriage and they couldn't find heartbeat, so this kept me conforted, listened to every night! Must have for mother's to be:)Read full review

good product

Truly like this pulse oximeter. Easy to use; feels good in your hand; nice big numbers.
The only thing I would do differently is to have the numbers facing me when it is ON my finger.
However, it is not a deal breaker & the numbers are quite readable.
I really, really LIKE this one!

Doesn't work well for tracking in your sleep.

This pulse oximeter does basically what it's supposed to with exception to tracking sleep. It WOULD do this if it would stay on your finger. It doesn't clamp to the finger tightly enough to stay on your finger well enough to make it through normal tossing and turning of sleep. With exception to that, which was one of the features I needed, it does check your pulse and O2 levels as it's supposed to. Read full review
