Vibeat OxyU Oxygen Monitor for O2 & Heart Rate Continuous Tracking, Wrist Wearable Pulse Oximeter, Notification of Threshold Exceed, Bluetooth Finger Oxygen Meter with Free App & PC Report

This is my second wrist-wearable pulse oximeter from Viatom: the first is Checkme O2 Max, which I have been using for almost two years, and this is Vibeat OxyU, a new one. In short, the new Vibeat OxyU functions equally well as the other one (Checkme O2 Max); it is reliable, easy to use, and lightweight. In fact, for casual daily use (e.g., tracking SpO2 numbers in sports activity), I prefer Vibeat OxyU as it is lighter, which allows the device to stay more secure in the wrist, facing a variety of motions.For overnight use, I have mixed feelings about comparing the new Vibeat OxyU with my old-time favorite Checkme O2 Max due to the differences each device can offer. Checkme O2 Max is a better option for those who want to wear a pulse oximeter every night to use it with the PAP/RAD devices. To provide more details, I would like to share my experience with overnight use of both devices as follows:1. Background: the primary reason for using the pulse oximeter is to monitor oxygen saturation and pulse rates overnight when I sleep with a CPAP machine, which is indicated to treat sleep apnea. Then, I use the ViHealth app if I would like to go over diagnostic statistics quickly. Ultimately, I extract the same data using O2 Insight Pro (desktop app), essential to integrate the oxygen and pulse information into the OSCAR app for the total daily sleep report. Such practices are standard for long-time CPAP users who must monitor sleep quality over time.2. Wearing Experience: Vibeat OxyU automatically turns on when I wear it on my wrist. It goes off when I take it off of my wrist. Checkme O2 Max has a dedicated power on-off button on its side. I am pretty indifferent to having either way. Checkme O2 Max feels bulky on my wrist, but it doesn't bother me at all while I sleep. They are both intended to be worn on my left arm; otherwise, the screen looks upside down.3. What Is Measured: Vibeat OxyU and Checkme O2 Max measure SpO2 and pulse rates. However, Checkme O2 Max offers more in-depth analysis, such as the number of oxygen drops (more than 4pp). Furthermore, Checkme O2 Max allows me to adjust settings like pulse rate reminder, finger out reminder, and vibration strength. In particular, I like the option to reduce the strength of vibration, as the high-intensity vibration can disrupt my sleep.4. Recordings: Vibeat OxyU and Checkme O2 Max record up to 4 sessions, each lasting up to 10 hours. Checkme O2 Max offers a higher-capacity battery to record up to 72 hours instead of 16 hours to Vibeat OxyU. As such, Vibeat OxyU requires frequent charging for daily use.5. App (Bluetooth Data Sync): ViHealth app works for both devices. However, O2 Insight Pro only detects Checkme O2 Max, not Vibeat OxyU. I have yet to be able to figure out why. I am on the most recent release of the O2 Insight Pro app (version 1.8), but the same problem persists. This is an issue for those needing to integrate the pulse-oximetry data into OSCAR for a more comprehensive daily sleep analysis under CPAP therapy.6. What Can Be Improved: The device could offer more capacity to store the number of recordings, say 7 instead of 4. That way, I could have the data transferred every once a week. I have my phone turned off during my sleep, and turning it on isn't the first thing I do when I wake up in the morning (as a consequence, the data stored in the oximetry device is yet to be sent to the ViHealth app).Overall, Vibeat OxyU is a suitable device that functions as claimed. I would use it occasionally throughout the daytime, such as sports. For overnight use, Vibeat OxyU may not be the best option compared to the other model (e.g., Checkme O2 Max), not to mention that Vibeat OxyU is marketed as not intended for a medical device. In conjunction with the CPAP device, I would stick to my old-time favorite Checkme O2 Max until Viatom releases a new one within that product line.

The device worked well in the beginning. I liked the features and comfort of the device. After roughly a month and half of use, the device stopped reading correctly. It remained at 99% oxygen despite another finger pulse ox reading completely different. We tried to reset it but now it won’t connect at all or read anything. Already connected seller and am still waiting a response.

The Vibeat OxyU Oxygen Monitor measures O2 (oxygen saturation in the blood) and heart rate. It also shows motion of the device on the finger. This is important because motion affects this type of O2 Sensor.I have severe obstructive sleep apnea so I use a APAP (automatic CPAP) machine when I sleep. The machine reports several values that relate to sleep quality but does not measure O2 or Heart Rate. I bought the Vibeat OxyU Oxygen Monitor to wear while sleeping so that I would know how effective the APAP therapy was each night. The finger portion (that makes the measurements) is comfortable to wear and does not interfere with sleep. in the morning the electronic portion (worn on the wrist) reports the data to my cell phone via Bluetooth. That all works simply and flawlessly with the ViBeat App. The app uses graphs to show continuous O2 levels, Heart Rate, and motion. It also shows the O2 range during the measurement period. My observation is the machine is quite accurate. It has proven to be of excellent use. But, as the seller points out, it is not classified as a medical device and therefore does not replace the finger mounted Pulse Oximeter that is used in the doctor's office. However, it works quite well and I find it to be trustworthy.

I’ve tried a few of these. This one is well made and comfortable. It’s lasted quite a while. It’s easy to wear and reliable.

I LOVE my wrist O2/pulse reader. I had given up doing web searches for a device with such features; I wanted AKA "NEEDED TO BE ABLE TO SET AN ALARM TO WAKE ME IF MY O2 LEVEL DROPPED BELOW XXX (MY DESIRED SETTING) "NOTE: I was I tried and was unable to get into a sleep study about 15 years back, so I gave up trying.In the fall of 2023 an ENT (Dr) got me into a Sleep Clinic Study; my O2 went down to "60" three times during the test! The nurse came in and rocked on me to changed my position each time it got that low.NOW My CPAP/BPAP machine does not give me the O2 detail that this NEW wrist/finger reader does .I sometimes fail to use my B-PAP machine as I feel my sinuses need a break, or I want to pack my BPAP for travel due to an early morning flight.. Knowing my history from the SLEEP STUDY I worried that my O2 may be too low when not on the machine.NOW I am able to set my WRIST/FINGER device along with the iPhone APP to ALERT me when my O2 droppes below "90". I wanted the VIBRATE on my hand and the ALARM from my phone to be STRONG. (all part of personal settings allowed with this device).DAY 1 no BPAP for first 1.5 hrs. within 45 minutes it was going off! I was even still away listening to an audio book. For the next 45 minutes it went off. with about 23 warning; I went ahead and started up my BPAP!.DAY 2 I was back on the BPAP and had no alarms. I have used this device for 13 nights now (all while using the BPAP); last night it woke me with a warning and I realized I had rolled my body into the fetal position. (NOT GOOD for breathing) I rolled onto my BACK, spread out my arms, and took some deep breaths; the vibrations finally stopped. Apparently I was not O2 low enough for the iPhone alarm to kick in - though I think it read 88 percent!SINCE I DO NOT WANT TO KILL OFF ANY MORE BRAIN CELLS.. I WILL BE USING THIS MONITOR NIGHTLY FROM NOW ON - ALONG WITH MY BPAP. The really good news is that the device can be used by more than one person. If you suspect someone (or 2 +) more folks may not be getting the O2 needed during sleep have them TEST DRIVE THIS DEVICE TOO!FYI, I did some testing in the daytime too - WHEN I am really relaxed and watching TV.... my O2 drops!
