Oximeter in Canada?
Having issues finding anywhere in Canada that carries one that would work with OSCAR, no matter where I look its all US / knockoff versions.
Wondering if anyone had some luck / can point me in the proper direction.
Thanks,

Contec pulse-ox devices are available over the internet.
I bought one from cpapUSA.com.
Several years ago--an older model.

Sean, didn't you know that medical supplies from the states do not charge customs duties to us Canucks. You have to pay U.S $ prices and shipping.... unless you go to an online company that has free shipping. I buy both U.S. and CA and always price compare with calculating the exchange factor....no problem.
Cheers

Only 1 thing pops up for a CMS50F on ebay for being located in Canada
'Innovo Bluetooth CMS 50F Plus Oxygen Monitor Wrist Pulse Oximeter O2 SpO2 Meter'
Innovo isn't Contec

Re: Oximeter in Canada?
I just went through this as I wanted one as well.
I settled on a Torontek B400 which from what I can tell is a rebranded Contec CMS50F, I did see a forum post stating it does work with OSCAR. You can order them online from best buy or walmart.
I wanted the CMS50I but just couldn't find a good source and didn't feel like waiting for slow boat delivery from China buying off ebay, aliexpress etc..
Edit: Hopefully will receive it this week or next and can update once I try it out.

Re: Oximeter in Canada?
Looking forward to hearing your results with this. I am looking into buying a similar one (https://www.bestbuy.ca/en-ca/product/pu ... r=PDP_Reco) same brand so would be good to know whether it ends up working for you with OSCAR.Geer1 wrote: ↑Mon Dec 30, 2019 11:29 pmI just went through this as I wanted one as well.

Innovo isn't Contechahaha'
a) Some other company came out with a similar product and just *happened* to use the exact same model number as another company.
b) Some other company is buying Contec oximeter and having their name stuck on them, hence the same model number
Pick one. I know what my bet is.
Get OSCAR
