It is portable and compact, allowing you to take it to work or on vacation so you can have regularly and conveniently monitor your blood oxygen level. You can easily fit it into your handbag or brief case for secure, convenient and discreet portability.
To use the oximeter you only need to attach it painlessly to your fingertip. It works by sending two wavelengths of light through your finger to measure your pulse rate and oxygen level.
You can then read the results on an easy to read brightly illuminated LCD display. Furthermore,you can easily switch the display orientation from portrait (vertical) to landscape (horizontal) and back by merely pressing the power button.
This versatile oximeter is usable at your home, workplace, clinic or even at the gym. It is also designed for use by both adults and children. Like a digital thermometer such as the DT-01B, it is perfectly designed to provide early warning of illness of a family member.
This instrument is designed for spot measurements of blood oxygen. If you need to perform continuous monitoring, you should consider another model. No maintenance is required, except for occasional battery replacement and cleaning. To clean your oximeter, just wipe the area you touch with your finger with 70% isopropyl alcohol (i.e. rubbing alcohol).
Your fingertip pulse oximeter, standard, comes with a lanyard, two AAA batteries and clearly illustrated instruction guide.

Frequently Asked Questions
How accurate and easy-to-use is this pulse oximeter?
This oximeter is engineered for clinical-grade accuracy in a user-friendly design. Its operation is remarkably simple: after inserting the included batteries, you painlessly place your finger inside the cushioned chamber. The device then uses advanced sensor technology, emitting two wavelengths of light through your fingertip to measure your pulse rate (PRbpm) and peripheral oxygen saturation (SpO2%). The results are clearly shown on a bright, easy-to-read LCD display within seconds. For optimal accuracy, ensure your finger is clean, warm, and still during the 10-15 second reading, and that nail polish or artificial nails are removed, as these can sometimes interfere with the light transmission.
Is this model suitable for both adults and children, and can it be used for continuous monitoring?
Yes, this pulse oximeter is versatile and designed to comfortably fit a wide range of finger sizes, from older children to adults, making it an excellent health-monitoring tool for the entire family. However, it is crucial to understand its intended use. This device is specifically calibrated for spot-check measurements. This means it provides a vital snapshot of your oxygen levels and heart rate at a single moment, perfect for routine checks or assessing wellness during travel or exercise. It is not designed for continuous monitoring throughout sleep or extended periods. For that specific need, a different model with continuous tracking capabilities and adjustable alerts would be recommended.
How do I maintain the device and ensure its longevity?
Your pulse oximeter requires minimal maintenance for reliable, long-term use. To keep it functioning perfectly, simply replace the two AAA batteries as needed. For hygiene, clean the fingertip cavity—the area that contacts the skin—after several uses or if shared between family members. Gently wipe the interior with a soft cloth lightly dampened with 70% isopropyl alcohol (rubbing alcohol), then allow it to air dry completely before storage. Avoid getting moisture on the display or body, and do not submerge the device. When not in use, the included lanyard provides convenient portability, allowing you to safely store it in your bag, briefcase, or a cool, dry place at home.
