If you get a low or
inconsistent blood
oxygen reading
Blood ow quality can signicantly
vary between ngers. Typically, the
best ngers are the middle ngers
followed by the index nger, but this
can vary from person to person.
If you get an unstable reading, low
reading or weak signal, try another
nger or hand as oximeters can be
used on any nger. Wait up to 60
seconds until the blood oxygen
reading stabilises (shows the same
reading for 8-10 seconds) and take
the highest reading shown.

TROUBLE SHOOTING5
My reading seems
incorrect,
unstable or
I'm stuck in the
symbol at the top (far right on the rst page). In addition to this, it
could be as a result of movement whilst the reading is being taken or
light leakage into the sensor from the side of the nger. It can take
up to 1 minute for the reading to stabilise depending on your skin
type and the ambient light conditions. Make sure your hand is
supported on xed surface while testing and stay still, if
stabilise try a dierent nger and give the oximeter a slight squeeze
when it is on your nger to increase the light seal around the sensor.
Also check you are not wearing clear or coloured nail varnish or
false nails and if so, remove it from the test nger. Test away from
button. Just leave the oximeter for 10-20 seconds and it will power
