Finger pulse
This finger pulse oximeter’s major function is to oxygen saturation monitor in a person’s blood. Additionally, to oxygen saturation, it can measure the pulse rate.
Who uses one?
Pulse oximeters are often used by a variety of individuals including athletes, aviators as well as those having asthma, COPD or congestive heart failure. These are areas where a person needs to have enough oxygen in their blood.
How to use
The finger you are testing needs to be clean and the sensor pad on the pulse oximeter is also clean. Relax your arm on a surface that is flat, open clamp then inserts test finger into the device. Press the button for power and hold until measurements are showing on the monitor.
Oximeter used continually
The pulse oximeter is designed to take readings as the oximeter attached to the finger. The battery-saving automatic shutdown feature will stop after 8 seconds of inactivity. Any excessive user movement will give up inaccurate readings.
Maintain pulse oximeter
During the life of your oximeter, it needs to be stored in a dry area as any extreme moisture of humidity could cause problems with the device. Also, avoid any contact to direct sunlight. If you do not use it often, remove batteries when not using.
Accurate reading
Will this be more accurate while walking or moving? For the most accurate results, it is best to remain still as this ensures that the finger is still or is not shaking.
