Will this device give you a record of your oxygen levels through the night?

No, it will not. This is meant to give you an instant reading, but doesn't track or record your numbers. We use it to check my husband's O2 level when his chest is congested, since he is prone to CHF. If the O2 levels drop, we need to get him to the ER.

I see a bluish green waveform below the numbers when measuring my dad's oxygen level. My understanding is that it measures the change in the volume of arterial blood with each pulse beat. You may want to visit their website at www.maxtec.com to learn more. Hope this helps.

Yes, this is the unit that our doctor recommended. We wanted to see if it was possible for my husband to be suffering from sleep apnea. His oxygen levels werer fine. We monitored his sleep for 7 nights and were able to print out his results for our doctor to review. As a matter of fact, our doctor bought the unit from us when we were done so that he could let other patients check it out from his practice, sort of like a library, to research their sleep issues.

That I do not know. I have used it after dark, but only for 10 to 20 minute intervals.

You need to remove the device from the band and run the heart test with your finger. While doing this it also checks your oxygen levels.

It all depends on how you use it. It won't measure belly breathing per se but if you are breathing from your belly you can see if you are increasing the volume or getting stronger at it.

This device is not a monitoring device, because it turns off after 15-20 minutes. It is used to check the levels of CO in an area and it does have an alarm that sounds when it is at a certain level while you are measuring, so you will know that the CO level is high. So it would not be suitable for traveling unless you just want to know if there is CO present in the place you are going to stay or at.

Yes, it's good. The oximeter is good for an occasional measure, not for continuous control of oxygenation

You should probably hound customer support, but also understand that this is an unusual question so it might take them some time to get an answer for you. I would assume that it uses a combination of the motion sensor and possibly skin temperature to figure out if you are sleeping, because when I lay perfectly still it doesn't log me as sleeping but lying down. I'm guessing that no (or very little) movement + lower skin temperature (our temperature drops when we fall asleep) is what the device uses to gauge sleep vs lying down. But like I said totally a guess bud.

If you mean like the new bracelets in the market that record your sleeping patterns, no it won't. If you mean will it read your bpm while you sleep, yes, most likely while running an app.

Actually the app has an alarm which can be programmed to go off if the oxygen level drops below some threshold. I found this out when I first started using it because it kept waking me up. I had to disable it.

It won't track it like a sleep study, but it will tell you when you were restless and how many times you woke up during the night. It actually is pretty useful.

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. The battery wouldn't last that long AND you would not get an accurate reading. I do not use this meter anymore because of the inaccuracies in the levels and pulse readings. I hope I helped you with your question.

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.

Hi Kathy, I have this pulse-ox, the oxygen reading is on the top, the bottom reading is the heart rate. I use one for work. It does what I need. Bleach-rt

No, this type of oximeter is for spot checking or very brief monitoring. It does not record or note highest/ lowest readings which I assume would be what you are looking for in a multi-hour overnight model. You might check with a local home-respiratory equipment rental company to see what they recommend. Good luck.
