• The device may not work for all patients. If you are unable to achieve
stable readings, discontinue use.
• The update period of data is less than 5 seconds, which is changeable

What Does it Do
The OX01R oximeter measures two things: oxygen saturation and pulse rate.
• Oxygen saturation is the percentage of oxyhaemoglobin (HbO
HbO is a combination of haemoglobin (Hb) and oxygen molecules (O

that is present in all human blood and is an important physiological factor
involved in respiration and circulation. The oxygen saturation of arterial
blood in the average human body is around 98%. Measuring oxygen
saturation is an important indicator of the amount of oxygen in the body. If
there is not enough oxygen it can affect the normal function of the body in
many ways and result in a condition called hypoxia.
In general, the normal levels of oxygen saturation should not be lower than
94%; if a measurement of 94% or less has been obtained, it means an
insufficient supply of oxygen has been detected and proper medical advice
should be sought from a qualified doctor.
