The CONTEC CMS60D pulse oximeter is a compact handheld device designed to measure blood oxygen saturation (SpO₂) and pulse rate through a finger probe. Its portable design, colour display, pulse waveform display and data-review functions make it suitable for use in hospitals, clinics, outpatient care and other healthcare settings.
The CMS60D is a CONTEC pulse oximeter that can display SpO₂, pulse rate and a pulse waveform, while also providing functions such as adjustable screen brightness, pulse-rate sound indication, review, clock and stored-data functions.
The CONTEC CMS60D handheld pulse oximeter is designed for convenient spot-checking and monitoring of oxygen saturation and pulse rate.
Its handheld format allows the main display unit to be held separately from the patient sensor. The standard CMS60D configuration uses an external SpO₂ probe, and CONTEC also lists versions supplied with adult, paediatric and neonatal probes.

A CONTEC pulse oximeter provides non-invasive measurement of oxygen saturation and pulse rate. The CMS60D is specifically designed as a handheld pulse oximeter rather than a bedside multiparameter monitor.
The official CONTEC specification gives an SpO₂ measurement range of 0–100%, with an accuracy of ±2% from 70–100%. Pulse rate is measured from 30–250 bpm, with accuracy specified as ±2 bpm or ±2%, whichever is greater.
The manufacturer also states that readings can be stored and transferred to a computer, while an external oximeter probe can be connected.
A handheld pulse oximeter can be useful when healthcare professionals need a portable device for checking SpO₂ and pulse rate at different points of care.
Potential applications include:
Hospital wards
Outpatient departments
Clinics
Emergency assessment
General patient observations
Community healthcare
Home-based monitoring
Patient transport
Physiotherapy and rehabilitation settings
The exact clinical use should follow the device's intended use, manufacturer's instructions and the healthcare facility's protocols.
The CMS60D measures oxygen saturation and pulse rate using a sensor applied to the finger. CONTEC describes the device as measuring pulse oxygen saturation and pulse rate through the finger.
It is important to distinguish the CMS60D handheld pulse oximeter from the small, self-contained fingertip pulse oximeters commonly used for personal spot checks. The CMS60D has a separate handheld display unit and probe rather than being a single clip-style display unit.
This design can be useful where a healthcare professional prefers a handheld monitor with an external probe and additional functions such as waveform display, review and data storage.
SpO₂ refers to peripheral oxygen saturation measured using pulse-oximetry technology. The CMS60D displays the SpO₂ value and pulse waveform while also providing pulse-rate information.
The official CONTEC specification lists:
Below 70% SpO₂, the manufacturer's published specification does not specify accuracy.
The CMS60D displays pulse rate numerically and can also show a pulse waveform and bar graph. The manufacturer specifies a pulse-rate measurement range of 30–250 bpm.
The audible pulse indication can provide an additional indication during monitoring, subject to the device settings.
One of the features that distinguishes the CMS60D from basic fingertip pulse oximeters is its data functionality.
The device can store SpO₂ and pulse-rate values, review stored information and, on supported configurations, transfer stored or real-time data to a computer.
The CMS60D platform is available with different probe configurations. CONTEC lists versions supplied with adult, paediatric and neonatal probes.
Because probe compatibility can vary by package, buyers should confirm whether the quotation includes an adult probe only or additional paediatric/neonatal probes.
Connect the appropriate SpO₂ probe to the CMS60D.
Place the patient's finger correctly into the probe.
Ensure the patient and measuring finger remain reasonably still.
Switch on the device.
Wait for the SpO₂ and pulse-rate readings to stabilize.
Observe the numerical readings and pulse waveform.
Review or record the readings according to the clinical procedure.
Clean the reusable probe according to the manufacturer's instructions after use.
The CMS60D instructions specifically advise keeping the measuring finger and body stable during measurement because movement can affect readings.
The CMS60D can be useful for healthcare professionals who require portable SpO₂ and pulse-rate monitoring. Depending on the exact probe configuration and intended use, it may be used across different patient groups.
It should be used by appropriately trained personnel and interpreted together with the patient's clinical condition rather than as a standalone diagnostic tool.
A current Kenya listing reviewed for the CONTEC CMS60D Handheld Pulse Oximeter shows a price of KSh 21,000. This is a supplier-specific current listing price and should be confirmed before ordering because prices and included accessories can change.
The package should also be checked carefully because CMS60D versions are available with different probe configurations. Some versions are supplied with an adult probe, while others include adult, paediatric and neonatal probes.
When purchasing a CONTEC CMS60D pulse oximeter, confirm:
Exact CMS60D model
SpO₂ and pulse-rate measurement specifications
Probe type included
Whether adult, paediatric or neonatal probes are required
Display type
Data-storage capability
Computer connectivity
Power supply configuration
Included accessories
Warranty
Availability of replacement probes and accessories
Local technical support
This is particularly important because different CMS60D packages can have different accessories and power configurations.
Specifications should be confirmed against the exact unit and probe package supplied. CONTEC's published CMS60D documentation specifies a compact handheld unit measuring approximately 110 × 60 × 23–24 mm, with weight varying by documented configuration.
The CONTEC CMS60D is a handheld pulse oximeter designed to measure oxygen saturation and pulse rate through a finger probe. It also provides pulse waveform, review and data-storage functions.
It measures SpO₂ and pulse rate through the finger, but unlike a basic all-in-one fingertip clip oximeter, the CMS60D is a handheld unit with an external SpO₂ probe.
The CMS60D measures SpO₂ and pulse rate and displays a pulse waveform and pulse-rate bar graph.
A current Kenya supplier listing reviewed shows the CONTEC CMS60D handheld pulse oximeter at KSh 21,000. Confirm the current selling price and package contents before ordering.
Yes. CONTEC states that the device has storage and review functions for SpO₂ and pulse-rate values, with stored data capable of being uploaded to a computer on supported configurations.
Yes. CONTEC states that the CMS60D can be connected to an external SpO₂ probe.
CMS60D packages are available with different probes, including adult, paediatric and neonatal configurations. Confirm the exact probes included with the product being purchased.
The handheld format and SpO₂/pulse-rate monitoring functions make it suitable for appropriate clinical monitoring applications, subject to the manufacturer's intended use and the healthcare facility's procedures.
