RE: How accurate is the Wellue O2 Ring?
If this is of interest:
Here are my results from a night when I had an overnight oximetry test and was also wearing the O2Ring.
Chart 2: Results from O2ring
Chart 3: A comparison of the graphs (Oxi study on top, O2 ring below)
Chart 1: Results from oxi study
(Please look at file names - I cannot get these to attach in order 1/2/3)
It's a little hard to compare the data because the study looks at time < 88% and the O2ring looks at time below 90%. But most data looks pretty similar. The biggest difference seems to be in the breakdown of time in the different levels - I'm guessing that there was a block of time in the 94/95 range that was listed as being in the 95-100% level on the study, and in the 90-94% level by the O2ring. The amount of time < 90 is listed as 1.5% on the study, and as 1% by the O2ring.
