Any way to remove Oximetry drop outs?
Is there any way to break up a SpO2 file into two sessions to eliminate a finger-out period in the middle?
My sensor was loose so I ended up with a period from 05:18:52 - 06:45:56 where I have readings that bounce between 127 (which I guess is indicating finger out, and seems to be ignored by Oscar) and 35 (which I'm guessing is incomplete contact, but is still calculated by Oscar).
I would like to keep the data before and after this interruption, but don't want these unrealistically low readings to influence my stats. Is there a way to do that or should I just delete this whole day?
A little background unrelated to the specific question, but just in case. I am using Oscar to track pulse ox only right now as I prepare my case to get my insurance to pay for a new PAP device. I was never able to tolerate my old REMstar Pro M-series very well, even at a relatively low prescription of 8 cmH20 so I have been non-compliant for a decade or more. I would like to try to get back on the wagon with a more modern machine but I will need to fight with insurance a bit.
