7. Understanding the Display
The Rossmax SB100 display provides the following information:
- SpO2 (%): This indicates the percentage of oxygen saturation in your blood.
- Pulse Rate (BPM): This shows your heart rate in beats per minute.
- Pulse Strength Indicator: A bar graph or waveform that visually represents the strength of your pulse signal. A stronger signal generally indicates a more reliable reading.
- Battery Indicator: Displays the current battery level.
