3.2. PULSE
Warning: the results below show the average for a person in good health whose measurements
are taken in a calm environment.
An individual may have a higher or lower pulse rate as a result of numerous factors (illness,
regular exercise, medical treatment, etc.).
In the event of irregularities in your results (lower or higher pulse rate than normal), we advise
you to consult your physician.

4. FEATURES
The digital pulse oximeter is a portable device designed for occasional monitoring of arterial
oxygen saturation (as a % of SpO
2
) and pulse rate (PR) in beats per minute (bpm) on adults
and children, in hospitals, health centers and at home. It should not be used for continuous
monitoring (it does not include an alarm signalling an abnormal result).
5. USING THE OXIMETER
5.1. DESCRIPTION
See page 2
The Bluetooth LED flashes red when searching for the Bluetooth signal and is fixed red when
the connection is made.
If the screen shows “?”, it means the signal is unstable. You need to take the reading again.
The battery indicator flashes when the battery is low. The device must be recharged using the
USB cable
5.2. RECOMMENDATIONS BEFORE TAKING MEASUREMENTS
- When using the device for the first time, charge the battery via the USB port. Connect the USB
cable of the device to a computer to charge it. Once the device has been charged, you can
disconnect the USB cable.
- Avoid eating, smoking or exercising for 30 minutes before measuring your oxygen saturation.
- Remain calm for 15 minutes before the measurement.
- Keep still and do not speak during the measurement.
5.3. DOWNLOADING THE APPLICATION
The following information may be updated.
Download the BewellConnect® application to your smartphone or tablet :
- via the App Store or Google Play
Then click on the My Oxy icon to activate the sub-application.
The results are immediately transferred by the application via Bluetooth Low Energy.
5.4. HOW TO TAKE MEASUREMENTS
See figure C page 2
Insert your finger (generally the index finger) into the device. The fingernail must be facing
upwards. The device turns itself on automatically when a finger is inserted. The readings appear
on the device screen. Wait until the value stabilizes. When the result flashes, the data has been
transferred to the application.
Important : the data will only be transferred to the application if the application is open while
the device is being used and Bluetooth Low Energy is activated.
The device switches off automatically after eight seconds.
If it is difficult to obtain a reading, try with the other hand or with another finger on the same hand.
6. CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE
- To clean the silicone inside the oximeter that comes into contact with the finger, use 70°
rubbing alcohol. Apply the alcohol using a soft clean cloth. Also use the rubbing alcohol to
clean the finger being measured, before and after use.
- Do not pour or spray liquid on to the surface of the oximeter. Make sure that liquid does not
come into contact with the device openings. Leave the oximeter to dry before using again.
