4. Operating Instructions
4.1 Measurement Procedure
- Open the clamp of the pulse oximeter.
- Insert your child's finger (or thumb/toe for infants) into the rubber opening of the oximeter. Ensure the finger is fully inserted and resting flat on the sensor. For children, the index finger, middle finger, or thumb are recommended. For infants, the big toe or the ball of the foot can be used.
- Press the power button once to turn on the device.
- Keep your child's hand and body still during measurement. Movement can affect the accuracy of the readings.
- Wait approximately 8-10 seconds for the SpO2 and Pulse Rate values to appear on the OLED display.
- The device will automatically turn off after 10 seconds of no operation or if the finger is removed.
