Pulse Oximeter

The Garmin device, accessories, heart rate monitor,
pulse oximeter sensor, and related data are intended
to be used only for recreational purposes and not for
medical purposes, and are not intended to diagnose,
monitor, treat, cure, or prevent any disease or
condition.
The D2 Delta PX device has a wrist-based pulse
oximeter to gauge the saturation of oxygen in your
blood (SpO2). Knowing your oxygen saturation can
help you determine how your body is adjusting to
high altitudes. As your altitude increases, the level of
oxygen in your blood can decrease. When you view
the pulse oximeter widget while you are not moving,
your device analyzes your oxygen saturation and your
elevation. The elevation profile helps indicate how your
pulse oximeter readings are changing, relative to your
to elevation. During a flight, the device automatically
takes pulse oximeter readings more frequently, so you
can monitor your SpO2 percentage
Readings in Flight,
page 3).
On the device, your pulse oximeter reading appears
as an oxygen saturation percentage and color on the
graph. On your Garmin Connect account, you can view
additional details about your pulse oximeter readings,
including trends over multiple days.

Tips for Erratic Pulse Oximeter Data

If the pulse oximeter data is erratic or does not appear,
you can try these tips.
y Remain motionless while the device reads your
blood oxygen saturation.
y Wear the device above your wrist bone. The device
should be snug but comfortable.
y Hold the arm wearing the device at heart level
while the device reads your blood oxygen
saturation.
y Use a silicone band.
y Clean and dry your arm before putting on the
device.
y Avoid wearing sunscreen, lotion, and insect
repellent under the device.
y Avoid scratching the optical sensor on the back of
the device.
y Rinse the device with fresh water after each
workout.
