RE: Contect CMS50I USB-C
I have the Contec 50F, 50I, and the Wellue SleepU oximeters. As far as accuracy, I don't have an opinion. I don't have any way of checking their calibration.
As far as usable life, it is the Wellue, hands down. The Contec's display on both models has degraded to the point I am unable to read them. This seems to have occurred about a year after obtaining each of them. I'm over 3 years of use with the SleepU, and it is still going strong.
I also prefer the Wellue's probe over the Contec's. It provides a more positive contact and produces fewer artifacts than the Contec's duckbill sensor.
