Product Information:

__What is the measuring range and accuracy for iHealth Wireless Pulse

Oximeter?

SpO2 measuring range: 70-99%.
Average Root Mean Square (ARMS) of SpO2 accuracy: 80%∼99%: ±2%, 70%∼79%:±3%, <70%: no definition.
Pulse rate measuring range: 30-250bpm.
Pulse rate accuracy: 30∼99bpm: ±2bpm, 100∼250bpm: ±2%.

* When does the battery light indicator appear in the display? The battery light indicator appears when the battery is low.

How many measurements can be stored in the iHealth Wireless Pulse

Oximeter?

Up to 100. New readings will replace old readings if the memory is full.

What kind of conditions may affect my reading?

Cold hands, weak pulse, hand movements, fingernail polish and acrylic nails are some of the most common factors that may affect a reading and cause inaccurate results.

What is Perfusion Index?

Perfusion Index, or PI, is a relative assessment of the pulse strength at the monitoring site. PI ranges from .01%(very weak pulse strength) to 20%(very strong pulse strength). PI is a relative number and varies between monitoring sites and from patient to patient, as physiologic conditions vary.

What does PI mean?

Perfusion Index, or PI, is a relative assessment of the pulse strength at the monitoring site. PI ranges from .01%(very weak pulse strength) to 20%(very strong pulse strength). PI is a relative number and varies between monitoring sites and from patient to patient, as physiologic conditions vary.

What type of conditions may affect my SpO2 reading?

Cold hands, weak pulse, hand movements, fingernail polish and acrylic nails are some of the most common factors that may affect a reading and cause inaccurate results.

What is considered the normal range for pulse rate? What are some

factors that can influence pulse rate?

The normal resting pulse rate is between 60 and 100 beats per minute.nnMany factors can influence pulse rate, including but not limited to physical activities, fitness level, emotional state, body weight, medications and body position.

What is oxygen saturation (SpO2)? What is the normal range for SpO2?

Oxygen saturation (SpO2) is a measurement of how much oxygen your blood is carrying as a percentage of the maximum it could carry. For a healthy individual, the normal SpO2 should be between 96% to 99%. High altitudes and other factors may affect what is considered normal for a given individual.

How does the iHealth Wireless Pulse Oximeter work?

The iHealth Pulse Oximeter (PO3) measures the amount of oxygen in your blood and your pulse rate. The oximeter works by shining two light beams into the small blood vessels or capillaries of your finger, reflecting the amount of oxygen in the blood and displaying the measurement on the oximeter’s screen. The oxygen saturation (SpO2) is measured as a percentage of full capacity.
