Calculation Method for Displayed Values
Pulse level meter
The pulse level is expressed as the ratio of the constant amount of trans-
mitted light to the variable amount (not normalized), as shown in the fol-
lowing formula. It is indicated in eight levels (0 to 9%; full scale for 9% or
higher).
Pulse level (%) =
Oxygen saturation (SpO
Updates the moving average of the oxygen saturation over the last 12
seconds at one-second intervals.
Pulse rate (P.R.)
Updates the moving average of the last 8 pulse rates at one-second in-
tervals.
2. Operating Method
Measurement (D)
1 Squeeze the clip with fingers to open the finger insertion part.
2 Insert a fingertip until the tip is in contact with the guide in the
finger holder; then release the clip.
The power will turn on and measurement starts.

Tips for accurate measurement
Failure to properly insert a fingertip into the finger holder may result in
measurement errors. Follow the instructions in the figures below.

During measurement, softly hold the instrument to avoid unstable mea-
surement. See the following figures. (Do not apply excessive pressure
on the instrument nor hold it with excessive force).
Do not swing the instrument. (

Hold the instrument softly. (
•
Put the hand and instrument on a table. (

Grip the sides of the instrument lightly by fingers. (
•
Hold the sides of the instrument lightly by the adjacent two fingers
•
when viewing the readouts for yourself in such a position as shown in
the figure below. (K)
Avoid placing the instrument at a position that is much higher or lower
•
than the height of the heart during measurement. Doing so may result
in measurement errors. (L)
