HoMedics PX-100 - Deluxe Pulse Oximeter Manual

ABOUT THIS DEVICE

This pulse oximeter uses optimetrix™ technology, which utilizes revolutionary optical sensor technology to measure both blood oxygen saturation ( SpO₂ %) levels and pulse rate. By placing the finger into the sleeve and one-touch of a button, this device will send both red and infrared lights into the skin to collect data and display your blood oxygen and pulse rate.
