WARNING
A test is saved using the name of the last patient visualised. If this refers to a patient whose data has already
been inserted in the device, call up a previous test carried out on the patient in question and proceed as
described in the final part of paragraph 2.6.
WARNING
During all "stand alone" oximetry testing, the remaining battery life is always shown: the battery symbol is
shown on the lower left side of the display, together with the value of the battery life in hours and minutes.
