Inserting your Finger
Now insert your index finger into the device so that the
fleshy tip of your finger overlies the reading window on
the inside lower surface of the finger cuff and the light
shines up through your fingernail.
Inserting your finger too far into the
Activ8rlives
Pulse
Oximeter3
will give a slightly lower reading, see
Page 11
for more details on correct placement of your finger.

Waiting to Start the Test
You will need to wait for the traceline or plethysmograph
to become stable with a regular pattern and you need to
remain still throughout.
Sometimes if your hands are
cold or you have restricted
peripheral blood flow to your limbs the
Indication of
Pulse Intensity (IPI)
will be lower. If you rest and relax for
a few minutes and get your breathe steady, this will
improve enough for you to take a reading or you may
need to change to another of your fingers.
