Importing Oximetry data

Importing Oximetry data
OSCAR Software support,

I have recently purchased the Emay SpO2 pulse Ox monitor and am am trying to figure out how to get my oximetry data into OSCAR.  The Emay device creates a .csv file which I can import into Excel.  I can then reformat that data into any text format for importation into OSCAR.  I thought I could format the data into the SpO2 file format so I can then import it.  To do that I need to know what that format is.  Can you provide that format?

I looked at the SpO2 site and it appears that the software available there hasn't been updated since 2014.  The allegedly newest version 3.1.0.6 is nowhere to be found.  The Cooper Medical site doesn't have any information on SpO2 that I can find.  It seems like an option to download in this format is now of limited usefulness.

As an enhancement to OSCAR could you consider adding an importer that can read a flat text or .csv file to allow import from any SpO2 device?  This would be much more useful (to computer literate users, anyway) than importers for specific devices or outdated/unmaintained software.

Thanks for your time.

RE: Importing Oximetry data
Hi billmelk!  -  Welcome
The site and information you're referring to is for a Contec50 series oximeters and not an Emay.  Also, the Oximeter Wizard in OSCAR is for Contec50 series oximeters only.  To use other oximeters, you need to look in the Data section of OSCAR.  

I believe these posts may offer an app to import Emay data into OSCAR using a loader written for a different brand of oximeter:
