About this app

* This App is only for use with the iSpO2 pulse oximeter or MightySat fingertip pulse oximeter (hardware module). This App together with the Masimo iSpO2 pulse oximeter or MightySat fingertip pulse oximeter (which must be purchased separately) will allow you to non-invasively measure blood oxygen saturation and pulse rate. The compatible Masimo devices are available for sale in select countries only. Visit us at www.MasimoPersonalHealth.com to find out how you may purchase a Masimo device.

From the leader in hospital pulse oximetry, Masimo’s iSpO2 pulse oximeter and MightySat fingertip pulse oximeter allow you to non-invasively measure blood oxygen saturation and pulse rate through motion and low perfusion.

• The MightySat fingertip pulse oximeter also provides perfusion index (PI) and pleth variability index (PVI®) measurements.
• View your measurements in real time, track and trend your measurement history, and share your data through email.
• Featuring Masimo® Signal Extraction Technology® (SET®), which has been shown to provide accurate pulse oximetry measurements during the challenging conditions of motion and low perfusion (blood flow) to the fingers, which reduces false alarms and increases true alarm detection¹.
• For 25 years, Masimo has been focused on a singular mission–to take noninvasive patient monitoring to new sites and applications. Visit www.Masimo.com to learn why clinicians worldwide know and trust Masimo for patient care.
• Masimo pulse oximeters are available in different models with varying features. Please visit www.MasimoPersonalHealth.com to choose the right device for your needs.

Measurements:

◦ %SpO2 – Oxygen saturation of arterial blood
◦ PR – Pulse rate measured in beats per minute (BPM), also known has heart rate.
◦ PI – Perfusion Index indicates arterial pulse signal strength
◦ PVI – Pleth Variability Index is a measure of the dynamic changes in PI that occur during the respiratory cycle. PVI is displayed as a percentage (0-100%).
◦ RRp – Respiration rate monitoring derived from the plethysmographic waveform measures a patient's respiratory rate based on amplitude changes that correspond to the respiratory cycle.

Ratings and reviews

This app is only half functional hence the 3 stars. While the app is simple enough to set up and use to connect a MightySAT to a LG K30 cell phone, the app is broken and needs a major update to allow users to transfer their history. Emailing via GMail does not work and neither does uploading to GDrive. I tried connecting the phone to a PC via a USB cable to transfer the files, but I was unable to find the history. Please fix the file transfer function otherwise Masimo hardware is only partially useful. This app has not been updated since 2016 which reflects poor support by Masimo

The app will not export the CSV files it is advertised to do. If I wanted a snapshot of what my blood oxygen data was I would have bought something much cheaper. My sole purpose in buying this device was its advertised ability to export longer trend data. Someone wrote the same basic critique as I have just done and I can confirm that it behaves just as it did when he wrote his review going on 3 years ago. I tried every single option available in the app to see if any of them work, Outlook gives me an IO error, gmail, android email, cloud and google drive end up giving you either an empty email with no attachment or in the case of google drive or cloud services nothing happens. Phones can download multi MB picture files when connect to a wifi network in the blink of an eye, A CSV file is small in comparison and should be exported with ease. Based on the last developer update being in 2016 I suspect that it is basically an orphan device that they are no longer truly supporting. As of today, I would advise STRONGLY against buying this device since many accurate snapshot devices re available at a fraction of the cost

I purchased a Masimo MightySat in the hopes it would all run smooth and use the most advanced software and hardware. I opted to use Duracell instead of the shipped batteries only to find out it wouldnt work. I had to install the generic batteries it shipped with for it to function. How can it use generic batteries but not use Duracell which is far better? I downloaded the app to find out it was last updated in 2016! And the Android phones which it connects to are old phones. Not functional!
