5. Understanding Your Readings
The device displays the following key parameters:
- SpO2 (%): Blood Oxygen Saturation. This indicates the percentage of hemoglobin in your blood that is saturated with oxygen.
- PR (bpm): Pulse Rate. This is the number of heartbeats per minute.
- PI (%): Perfusion Index. This indicates the strength of the pulse signal at the measurement site.
