Deluxe Pulse Oximeter
ABOUT PULSE OXIMETERS
This pulse oximeter uses patented technology, which utilizes
revolutionary optical sensor technology to measure both blood
oxygen saturation (SpO
%) levels and pulse rate. By placing the
2
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.

MEASUREMENT PROCEDURE
If you are using this pulse oximeter for the
first time, please remove the protective film
from the screen and remove the pull tab
from the battery door.
1. Hold the pulse oximeter so that the
picture of the finger nail on the finger
sleeve is facing up.
2. Gently place any finger into the finger
sleeve as shown in the diagram
(fig. A). Slightly press on the sides of the
finger sleeve to ease the finger inside.
3. Turn the hand over so that the LCD screen
is now facing you and your finger is
pointed up (fig. B).
4. Push the Multi-directional button
to
initiate readings (fig. C).
5. Continue to vertically hold the pulse
oximeter to enable readings
6. To change the direction of the LCD
screen display by 180°, press the Multi-
directional button
for up to two (2)
seconds.
Note:
•
Signal strength should be greater than one
bar to indicate a proper reading
(fig. D).
•
In the event of weak signal strength, please
switch fingers and/or hand and try again.
•
For greatest accuracy, limit hand motion
during measurement.
•
When the finger is removed, the pulse
oximeter will turn off after 10 seconds.
