Philips Telemonitoring Set
Pulse
Oximeter
To get the most accurate readings from you Pulse Oximeter, observe the
following guidelines:
•
The Pulse Oximeter may not work properly with a finger thickness
of less than 5/16 inches (0.8 cm) or more than 1 inch (2.5 cm).
•
Dark colored nail polish or artificial nails will prevent the Pulse
Oximeter from making accurate measurements. Remove dark nail
polish and artificial nails from the finger you use to take your
measurement.
•
Avoid exposing the finger sensor to very bright or changing light
while taking your measurement.
•
Do not use your Pulse Oximeter on the same arm during or
immediately after taking your blood pressure. Use your other arm
or take your Pulse Oximeter measurement first.
•
Use the same finger each time you make a measurement unless
your healthcare provider instructs otherwise.
•
Do not use the sensor on a finger that has chronically poor
circulation or is injured.
•
Be sure the inside of the finger sensor is dry before taking your
measurement.
•
Be sure your finger is warm when you take your measurement. If
your finger is cold, warm or rub it before taking your measurement.
•
Carefully place your finger in the sensor as far as it will
comfortably go. Do not press in so far that you can feel your finger
throbbing.
•
Keep you finger relaxed and still while taking your measurement.
•
If you have anemia, a low hemoglobin count, or arrhythmias, you
may not be able to get a correct reading. Contact your healthcare
provider.
Caution
Do not use the Pulse Oximeter with the battery door open.
