Using the iChoice Pulse Oximeter for the Remote Patient Monitoring
Program
Pulse Oximeter
WELCOME! Now that you have successfully installed the Life365 Health app
and enabled the Bluetooth settings on your smart device you are ready to begin
setting up your monitoring devices. We are so glad you have decided to take
control of your health with the iChoice Pulse Oximeter included in this
package.
What is a Pulse Oximeter?
A pulse oximeter is a small device that clips to your finger and measures how
much oxygen is in a person’s blood. People who have a lung or heart condition
may use a pulse oximeter at home to check how they are doing, and their
results will be read by a health care provider. Low oxygen levels can be an
early warning sign that medical care is needed.

Using Your Pulse Oximeter
Your provider has asked that you use this device every day. However, your plan
is individual to you and your health needs. Make sure you write down how often
your provider would like you to record your levels. Taking your reading only
requires a few minutes!
NOTE: For measurement readings to be recorded in your Life365 account,
the Life365 Health App must be open when a measurement reading is being taken.
