Contec CMS60C Handheld Pulse Oximeter with Adult SpO2 Probe
Choose options
If you or a family member needs more detailed oxygen monitoring than a basic fingertip device provides, the Contec CMS60C pulse oximeter offers a handheld monitor with a separate finger probe, colour display, alarms and data storage.
It measures SpO2, which means estimated blood oxygen saturation, and pulse rate, which means the number of heartbeats detected in one minute.
The CMS60C can show readings together with a pulse waveform and bar graph. It can also store monitoring data for later computer review. Therefore, it may suit families who need more structured oxygen monitoring under healthcare guidance.
However, the monitor does not diagnose a medical condition by itself. Always consider oxygen readings together with symptoms and professional medical advice.
Contec CMS60C Pulse Oximeter for Home Monitoring
A standard fingertip oximeter usually combines the screen and finger sensor in one small clip. The CMS60C works differently.
The main handheld unit stays separate from the external SpO2 probe. This gives you a larger screen and additional monitoring features while the probe remains attached to the finger.
If a doctor has advised regular oxygen monitoring for you or a family member, features such as alarms, stored readings and waveform display may make it easier to keep track of measurements over time.
SpO2 and Pulse Rate Explained Simply
How Does the Contec CMS60C Handheld Pulse Oximeter Work?
The connected finger probe uses red and infrared light to estimate oxygen saturation and detect the pulse. The handheld monitor then displays the results on its colour TFT screen.
Once the probe is positioned correctly, keep the hand relaxed and still while the reading settles. The screen can show SpO2, pulse rate, a bar graph and the pulse waveform at the same time.
The CMS60C can also store measurement information. Later, compatible software can transfer stored data to a computer for review and analysis.
Key Features of the Contec CMS60C Pulse Oximeter

Adjustable Screen
Dual-direction viewing and three brightness levels help make the display easier to see in different situations.
Portable Handheld Design
Its compact size makes the CMS60C easier to carry between rooms, appointments or monitoring locations.
How to Take a Pulse Oximeter Reading at Home
Taking a measurement is straightforward, but correct probe placement and keeping still are important.
- Make sure the hand is warm and relaxed.
- Connect the correct SpO2 probe to the monitor.
- Place the sensor correctly on the finger.
- Turn on the CMS60C.
- Keep the hand and finger still during measurement.
- Wait for the displayed values to become steady.
- Record the reading if your doctor has asked you to keep a log.
Follow the supplied user manual and any monitoring instructions given by your doctor or healthcare professional.
What Can Affect Pulse Oximeter Readings?
Pulse oximetry is useful for estimating blood oxygen, but readings can sometimes be affected by how or where the measurement is taken.
Factors that may affect a reading include:
- Movement during measurement
- Cold hands or low skin temperature
- Poor circulation
- Incorrect probe placement
- Fingernail polish
- Strong surrounding light in some situations
- Skin pigmentation and other individual factors
If a reading looks unexpected, first check the probe position and keep the hand still. If readings remain concerning or the person has worrying symptoms, contact a healthcare professional.
You can also read the FDA guidance on using pulse oximeters for additional information about home monitoring and measurement limitations.
CMS60C Measurement Accuracy and Specifications
Instead of relying on general claims such as “perfectly accurate,” it is more useful to look at the manufacturer's stated measurement specifications.

Adult, Child and Newborn Monitoring
The CMS60C works with external SpO2 probes, so the correct probe matters for the person being monitored.
The standard Meddey package lists an adult SpO2 probe. Paediatric or neonatal monitoring requires a compatible probe designed for that patient group.
Therefore, do not use the supplied adult probe for a baby or small child simply because the monitor itself supports other patient groups. Confirm the correct probe with a healthcare professional or supplier first.
What's Included with the Contec CMS60C?
- CMS60C handheld pulse oximeter
- Adult SpO2 probe
- 3.7V rechargeable lithium battery
- Power adapter
- Data cable for PC connection
- Compatible PC software for data upload and review
- User manual
Other compatible SpO2 probes may be available separately. Confirm the required probe before ordering if the monitor will be used for a child, newborn or another special monitoring situation.
Data Storage and Computer Review
One useful difference between the CMS60C and many simple fingertip oximeters is its ability to store measurement data.
The device supports up to 24 hours of stored information. You can then transfer the data to compatible PC software for review.
This may be helpful when a doctor has asked a family member to keep a longer oxygen-monitoring record rather than relying only on occasional readings.
Contec CMS60C for Clinics and Healthcare Professionals
Although this page mainly explains the CMS60C for families and home monitoring, its external probe, alarm settings, waveform display and data-storage functions also make it relevant for professional environments.
Clinics and healthcare professionals can use compatible probes according to the patient group and their monitoring requirements.
Healthcare professionals should interpret SpO2 and pulse information together with the person's symptoms, history and other clinical findings.
