Will this unit record the information of the oxygen saturation during a overnights time frame so a person can see the fluctuation while they were sleeping?

Pamela, if you ever find such a device PLEASE add a remark here. Inserting a web-link would be awesome.

Sorry but as near as I can tell no. And it only registers the oxygen saturation in the blood at time of testing and not the exhaled gases which in my wife's case turns out to be more important. Hope this is helpful

No, You need to press the button in order to get a reading...It does not monitor constantly...

No. It only shows real time results. Most/all of these 'finger' devices don't have the capacity to record and retrieve data. The ones I saw that have this function are much bigger, and use a different design to 'tape' onto the finger. This type of device would slip out of the finger during sleep with any movement.

Yes. It does show what you are recording exactly, but it also have effects on the battery life.

Just to add a bit more. I wear it to wake me up at night if my O2 drops to low. You can set what % the alarm goes off at. I spent 3 days last spring in a coma when my O2 crashed in my sleep, this meter wakes me or my wife up before that happens again. Pin point accuracy isn't important for me as long as it saves my life, which so far, so good.

It does not maintain a record, it is simply a snapshot of what the current voltage is. Also, it does not have an alarm, again, it's strictly a visual as to what your current voltage is.

It does record max/min values, but it shuts off after twenty minutes. You can diasble the auto shut off, but I dont know how long the batteries will last.

I don't think you can do that. Watching the screen in operation it seems to display an RMS value updated at about 1 second intervals. If you watch immediately upon applying a load the first displayed number may (or may not) be close to the peak starting load. I'm not sure if the device also stores history data - I've never required such a feature.

Yes, it does as long as there is some sort of light source it will show up but remember it is not a night vision camera or even infared but it will record well. I am happy and use it for a full 24 hrs to see what animals come out at night, I even captured what I beleive might have been a "UFO" miles away on a moonless night with no airport within 50 miles.

I don't think so. It has other charts but not that. I do like mine. I go to the gym. Since I move between exercises, a chart for me would be somewhat erratic. However, it does a good job of measuring my effort in three levels of intensity based on the percentage of maximum heart rate. At the end, I can see the maximum and average heart rate for the day. Good luck.

Ill have my husband take a look. As an RN I am surprised just how accurate this has turned out to be, not only with oxygenation levels but heart rate as well. My husband had an inconclusive sleecomp study and we decided to do this instead. Worked great thw alarm goes off when his oxygen levels drop, and has proven to us that he does have sleep apnea.

No. a pulse ox is only used to check the oxygen level at a specific time. To check for sleep apnea, you need to see a physician to have a over night sleep study done in a laboratory.

This device measures heart rate and oxygen levels and gives multiple graph representations of these when connected to your computer. It does not measure sleep stage ie: deep or light sleep........It is effective in identifying a sleep apnea problem. Hope this helps.

Not in the current software. By the time any pulse ox alarms you patient has tanked... Rely on the early clinical signs of hypoxia rather than alarm that goes off too late...

I have tested it against the Withings Pulse O2 and the app Sleep Cycle and my conclusion is that it is rather poor in recording sleep. I have encountered several issues. The the fitbit App is minimal, you'll see a few thin lines to indicate that you were in light sleep or awake. There is no further detail as fitbit wants you to subscribe for more indepth analysis. And more than once the tracker does not really seem to record anything (once or twice per week). So overall I am rather disappointed about this beautifully shaped gadget.

This oximeter will measure the amount of oxygen in the peripheral circulation, not specifically what goes to the brain. Very easy to use.

Andrea, although i myself have not used this for that purpose, because of its basic design (noise monitoring) I cannot imagine it NOT being able to be used for that purpose. And, as along as we're on that direction of conversation, might i add here that if the purpose is to check on the sleeping habits (with particular focus on snoring) of an individual that you consider having a sleep study performed (yeah, I know... you've probably already guessed it, but seeing a doctor for problems such as sleep apnea CAN be a prudent act on your part).Hope this helps.

To the best of my knowledge it can show the time/date info on the recording

The pleth is an extremely important graph to see. It tells you how good the pulsatile signal is. If the quality of the pulsatile signal is poor, then the calculation of the oxygen saturation may be wrong.
