1. Introduction
The CHOICEMMED Fingertip Pulse Oximeter is a portable, non-invasive device designed for spot-checking blood oxygen saturation (SpO2) and pulse rate. It is intended for use in sports and aviation activities, such as by mountain climbers, bikers, trainers, aviators, and general sport enthusiasts, to quickly assess SpO2 levels. This device is not intended for medical use or continuous monitoring.

4. Setup and Battery Installation
The device requires two AAA alkaline batteries for operation. Please follow these steps to install the batteries:
- Locate the battery compartment cover on the back of the device.
- Slide the cover open in the direction indicated by the arrow.
- Insert the two AAA batteries, ensuring the positive (+) and negative (-) terminals align correctly with the markings inside the compartment.
- Close the battery compartment cover by sliding it back until it clicks into place.
Important: Ensure the springs in the battery compartment are on the correct side, matching the plus/minus signs engraved on the battery casing.
5. Operating Instructions
To obtain a measurement, follow these simple steps:
- Open Oximeter: Squeeze the clip end of the oximeter to open the finger chamber.
- Place Finger: Insert one of your fingers (preferably the index or middle finger) into the rubber opening of the oximeter, ensuring your fingernail is facing upwards towards the display.
- Press Power Button: Release the clip and press the power button on the front panel once.
- Wait for Results: Keep your hand still. Your SpO2 and pulse rate readings will appear on the display within approximately 10 seconds.

6. Maintenance and Storage
Cleaning
- Clean the surface of the oximeter with a soft cloth dampened with 70% isopropyl alcohol.
- Do not immerse the device in water or any cleaning solution.
- Ensure the device is completely dry before reuse.
Storage
- Store the oximeter in its protective pouch when not in use.
- Keep the device in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures.
- Remove batteries if the device will not be used for an extended period to prevent battery leakage.
7. Troubleshooting and FAQs
- Q: What is a Pulse Oximeter?
- A: A pulse oximeter is a non-invasive device that indirectly monitors blood oxygen saturation (SpO2) and pulse rate (heart rate). It displays both blood oxygen saturation (SpO2) and pulse rate (heart rate). Pulse oximeters provide an easy way of assessing your blood oxygen level and pulse rate.
- Q: What is SpO2?
- A: SpO2 is also known as oxygen saturation. Oxygen saturation is a measure of how much oxygen the blood is carrying as a percentage of the maximum it could carry.
- Q: What is the normal range of SpO2?
- A: The normal range for SpO2 is typically considered from 95%-99%. The SpO2 measurement may be lower for people who live at high altitudes. Ask your health professional this question as it pertains to you.
- Q: What is the normal range for pulse rate?
- A: The normal resting range for pulse rate is typically considered from 60-100 beats per minute. Ask your health professional this question as it pertains to you.
- Q: What kind of conditions may cause an inaccurate reading?
- A: Cold hands, poor circulation, very weak pulse, movement during measurement, fingernail polish, and acrylic nails may cause inaccurate results.
- Q: SpO2 is not changing - it's stuck?
- A: SpO2 does not change like pulse rate. It is slow to change.
- Q: I do not see the battery light indicator.
- A: The battery light indicator only appears when the battery is low.
- Q: Why are the springs in the battery compartment on the same side?
- A: Make sure to follow the plus/minus signs engraved on the battery casing and not follow the direction of the springs.
- Q: The pulse rate is changing rapidly.
- A: Your heart rate changes with emotions, excitement, and exercise.
