ABOUT PULSE OXIMETERS

This pulse oximeter uses Optimetrix™ technology, which utilizes revolutionary optical sensor technology to measure both blood oxygen saturation ( SpO2%) levels and pulse rate. By placing the finger into the sleeve and one-touch of a button, this device will send both red and infrared lights into the skin to collect data and display your blood oxygen and pulse rate.

NAME/FUNCTION OF EACH PART

Battery Compartment, LCD Display, Multi-directional Button, Finger Sleeve, Blood Oxygen Level, Signal Strength Indicator, Pulse Rate

Other Accessories Included:

• 1 “½ AA” Lithium Battery (included in the unit)
• Storage Pouch
• Lanyard

Note: When changing the orientation of the screen, the pulse rate will be shown on the top near the blinking Pulse Rate Icon, and the blood oxygen level will be shown on the bottom of the LCD display.

DISPLAY EXPLANATIONS

Sensor Off Indicator: Appears when the finger has been removed from the finger sleeve.

Weak Battery Symbol: Flashes when battery should be replaced.

Pulse Rate: Shows the pulse rate per minute.

SpO2 Indicator: Shows the blood oxygen saturation level value on a scale of 70 to 99%.

Calculating: Device is calculating blood oxygen saturataion (SpO2%).

REPLACING BATTERY

1. The battery compartment is located on the top of the unit. Remove battery cover by pressing down and sliding the battery cover off. (fig. 1) Fig. 1
2. Install or replace the battery according to the polarity indicator located inside the compartment. Use only 3.6V “½ AA” sized Lithium batteries. (fig. 2) Fig. 2
