ResMed AirSense 10 Oximetry Complete Kit
General Overview
The AirSense Oximetry Kit is a full and complete kit that includes an XPOD oximeter, sensor clip, 3M cable, a reusable soft sensor, and an oximetry adapter. An oximeter is used to monitor your oxygen saturation levels; the Air 10 oximeter will connect directly to your AirSense or AirCurve machine. This oximetry kit enables patients to monitor their oxygen saturation levels with incredible effectiveness and accuracy; what's more, patients can store their data remotely for later retrieval and easier transfer.
Blood Samples
Unlike other models, the Air 10 oximeter is able to effectively monitor your oxygen saturation levels without using a blood sample. Hence, patients can gather their necessary information in a totally painless manner.
Compatibility
This oximetry kit is compatible specifically with the AirSense 10 CPAP series and the AirCurve Bi-Level series by ResMed; it will not work with older machines by ResMed or devices built by disparate manufacturers.
Reusable Pulse Oximetry Soft Sensor (Medium size)

That said, of the available oximeters, the one used with the Autosense is easy to use, displays O2 sat while in use, and the finger sensor is comfortable. I use a sleeve to control the wire , and avoid tangles in the bedding. Compared to the otrher finger and ear sensors I have used, this one is stable whiel using the hand, and the readout ahs few gaps due to lack of sensor signal. Since I was able to record data daily with AirView I did not trouble shoot data collection issues with Sloeepyhead.
Summary, it is very expensive compared to other oximeters. It is very difficult to obtain the data. The data obtained is very important, and is trhe only direct measurement at home of complications of airway obstruction.
