Product ReviewsCONTEC CMS9000 Central Monitoring System,Networked to CMS9000 patient monitor

Easy to use, just hard to read manual.

Once I got through reading the manual which was in tiny type and very repetitive, I found actually using the monitor easy. I did a couple of trials and was happy with results.

poor, incomplete product design, from concept to manufacture

Once 'figgured out" it seems to function, but barely.
Challenges:
1. Had to go find a SiLabs driver. Despite claims it will function with Microsoft Human Interface Device drivers, it didn't. Once downloaded and with enough hunt and pecking, got the So2 app to load and eventually to connect.
2. The tester has to make sure the testee keeps their finger in place, otherwise it does nothing; the user can't connect to, and configure the app. Try typing with the device in place on your own finger!!
3. Tried to set the device clock. Clicking on the place to set time, results in an error that says it does not include this feature, or words to that effect. Imagine a modern device that has a clock embedded, but time setting disabled!
I have been working with digital devices of similar function and features for nearly 50 years. There is no excuse for poorly conceived and designed products. A direct result of hiring incompetent engineers to be misled by incompetent product/marketing/planning people who have no clue, and even if they did, couldn't install it.
I'm going to keep it mostly out of curiosity to have something to fiddle with and see if I am drastically off base and can continue to discover stuff that is not in the user manual.

Sold to fit cats, but the cuff does not fit a cat, especially an older one that is frail..

I don't know. This is sold as having an NIBP cuff that fits dog/cats/pets. It doesn't. My cat and most cats can be 3cm at the hind or fore leg. This cuff is too big. I have ordered some cuffs on ebay,, it has taken 3 weeks and I still don't have them. Therefore, I can't tell if the device works or not. I have been using my Vet's , we are trying to regulate him on blood pressure medication which is very difficulty to do without a meter. So, the issue here is that this is a pediatric cuff, but not necessarily a cuff that fits cats. Read full review...

Great buy , good performance

My order for OLED SpO2 arrived in good shape...it was properly sealed and packed in a tiny cute box. I was so excited to unboxed it and i was not dissapointed, brand new with case and lanyard. It doesn’t come with batteries though (AAA x2)...works perfect and accurate.Read full review...

Finally I can Know!

With COPD I am so glad to have an instrument which allows me to keep tabs on my lung function.. I have a tracheostomy however and wish they had a tracheostomy attachment. I had to make one out of foam rubber. Thank You!Read full review...

Capnograph

Unit came well protected. After charging unit performed as expected. Note nasal cannula for end tidal CO2 is single use and pulse-ox has a proprietary plug. For backup use it’s definitely worth the price. Accuracy is on the money compared to clinical monitors. Read full review...

Meh, it works but accurate it is not. Good for training. But I wouldn't want it on me as patient.

It works but honestly, to be accurate you would want to place it on the patient for an hour or two to find a baseline. Don't expect to put it on and for it to work and be accurate right away.

What a Waste

This is a pulse counter that tells you high, low, or good and if you are regular. - nothing else. Same as any automatic blood pressure machine or a SpO2 analyzer. Spend your money on one of those and you will get something useful.Read full review...

Does everything as expected, works well

This is simple, works great, and it measures more values than most other devices. Of course, I don't know enough to say that it's as strictly accurate as I might wish, but it seems to be good. Useful to track over time how I'm doingRead full review...
