The LOOKEE Device is designed as an essential component of CPAP treatment and not as a replacement for CPAP in managing sleep apnea. CPAP lacks the oximetry functionality that the LOOKEE Device provides.

Tracking oxygen (O2) saturation in a Continuous Positive Airway Pressure (CPAP) machine holds significant importance for several reasons:

1. Patient Safety: Monitoring oxygen saturation levels ensures the patient's safety during CPAP therapy. A drop in oxygen levels could indicate a serious medical issue requiring immediate attention. This might be attributed to an underlying respiratory problem or other health complications.
2. Therapy Effectiveness: The primary purpose of a CPAP machine is to treat obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) by maintaining an open airway and preventing breathing interruptions during sleep. Monitoring oxygen saturation helps assess the therapy's effectiveness. A decline in oxygen levels may signal insufficient airflow to keep the airway open, suggesting a need for therapy adjustments.
3. Early Issue Detection: Changes in oxygen saturation levels can provide early indications of potential problems. A sudden drop in oxygen saturation might indicate airway obstruction, mask leakage, or other CPAP setup issues. Early detection enables timely intervention to prevent complications and ensure effective therapy.
4. Pressure Adjustment: CPAP therapy involves delivering a constant pressure to keep the airway open. Monitoring oxygen saturation levels aids healthcare providers in determining whether the prescribed pressure setting is appropriate. Persistent low oxygen levels despite CPAP usage might warrant adjustments in pressure settings or other aspects of therapy.
5. Comorbidity Identification: Individuals with sleep apnea could have other medical conditions affecting oxygen saturation, such as chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), heart problems, or respiratory disorders. Monitoring oxygen levels helps identify these comorbidities and guides appropriate treatment strategies.
6. Long-Term Tracking: Monitoring oxygen saturation over time offers valuable insights into the patient's response to CPAP therapy. This data can be utilized to assess treatment effectiveness over weeks or months and inform decisions about ongoing care.

In summary, monitoring oxygen saturation in a CPAP machine is crucial for ensuring patient safety, evaluating therapy effectiveness, and identifying potential issues related to sleep apnea and other underlying health conditions. It empowers healthcare providers to make informed decisions regarding therapy adjustments and interventions, ultimately contributing to the patient's overall well-being.

Normal oxygen saturation levels typically range between 95% and 100% in healthy individuals. Values below 90% may indicate hypoxemia, which means there is a lower than normal level of oxygen in the blood. Generally, an oxygen saturation level of 90% and above is considered safe for most people, especially in non-emergency situations. Additionally, individuals living at high altitudes might experience slightly lower baseline oxygen saturation due to decreased oxygen pressure in the air. However, it's not uncommon for certain individuals, particularly those with COPD, to exhibit slightly lower oxygen saturation levels. Their baseline oxygen saturation usually ranges from 88% to 92%, but this range is generally acceptable for most individuals at rest.

It's important to note that the LOOKEE Device is non-invasive and boasts a high accuracy of +2/-2, which is remarkable for an oximeter. With this high accuracy, a reading of 88% can be considered within the range of 86% to 90%. It can be confidently stated that the threshold for safe oxygen saturation is around 88%. Readings above this level are safe, while readings below indicate hypoxemia. However, when oxygen saturation drops to 80%, the situation becomes critical. At this point, the lungs may no longer effectively support themselves, causing the heart to beat faster in an attempt to meet oxygen demands. Prolonged exposure to such conditions can lead to cardiovascular complications and increased morbidity over time.

We offer a selection of sleep oxygen monitors, each catering to different preferences and needs. Here are the options available:

1. LOOKEE Wrist Monitor: This monitor records your oxygen saturation level, heart rate, and motion using a comfortable wrist-worn design. However, it is the only LOOKEE Sleep Oxygen Monitor that lacks a read-out display. Learn more here: LOOKEE Wrist Monitor
2. LOOKEE Ring Monitor: This monitor tracks your oxygen saturation level, heart rate, and motion through a comfortable ring-style wearable. It does not include PC software. Learn more here: LOOKEE Ring Monitor
3. LOOKEE Ring-Pro Monitor: Similar to the Ring Monitor, this device also measures your oxygen saturation level, heart rate, and motion using a ring-style wearable. However, it comes with PC software for enhanced data analysis. Learn more here: LOOKEE Ring-Pro Monitor
4. LOOKEE O2Ring: This monitor, designed as a comfortable ring-style wearable, monitors your oxygen saturation level, heart rate, and motion. It includes PC software and a sound alarm on the Cell phone App. Notably, this is the only LOOKEE Sleep Oxygen Monitor featuring a vibrating alarm for heart rate fluctuations as well. Learn more here: LOOKEE O2Ring
5. LOOKEE KidsO2: Specifically designed for children aged 3 to 10 years old, this comfortable ring-style wearable monitors and records your child's oxygen saturation level, heart rate, and motion. It features a sound alarm on both the device and your phone, along with App notifications for low oxygen levels. PC Software is included for this model. Learn more here: LOOKEE KidsO2

Important Notes:

• All of these devices utilize the same medical-grade sensor, ensuring accurate measurements.
• Each device includes a free Mobile App for easy data management.
• Vibrating alarms are present in all monitors (except for KidsO2 with a sound alarm) for low oxygen saturation levels (below the threshold set in the App).
• Select the monitor that best suits your needs, ensuring you have access to accurate sleep-related data for improved well-being.

LOOKEE Sleep Oxygen Monitors have earned certification as Medical grade devices and are licensed by Health Canada. These monitors boast an accuracy level of +2/-2%, a performance metric well within the established standard of the FDA for FDA-cleared oximeters.

An O2 Score represents a comprehensive evaluation of your oxygen condition. It is derived from the analysis of various factors such as events, frequencies, depth, and duration of your oxygen levels throughout the night. The score falls within a range of 0 to 10, where 10 indicates the most favorable condition. This score is available for each recorded session within the App.

The scoring categories are as follows:

• 1-4: Critical
• 5-6: Low
• 7-8: Good
• 9-10: Excellent

Importantly, the O2 Score is calculated from the moment the device is worn until it is removed, encompassing the entire duration of usage.
