Using an oxygen pulse reader, or pulse oximeter, is quite straightforward. Here’s how to use one properly:
Preparation:
Ensure your hands are clean and warm, as cold or dirty fingers can affect the reading.
Positioning:
Turn on the pulse oximeter.
Place your finger (usually the index or middle finger) into the device, making sure it fits snugly but comfortably. The nail side should be facing the light source of the device.
Waiting for the Meter Reading:
Keep your hand still for a few seconds while the device takes a reading. Most pulse oximeters will display your oxygen saturation level (SpO2) and pulse rate within a few seconds.
Reading the Results:
A normal SpO2 reading typically ranges from 95% to 100%. Readings below 90% may indicate low oxygen levels and could require medical attention.
Check the pulse rate displayed, which should generally be between 60 and 100 beats per minute for adults.
Removing the Device:
Once you have noted the readings, remove your finger from the device and turn it off if it doesn’t shut off automatically.
Interpreting the Results:
If your readings are consistently low or you experience symptoms such as shortness of breath, confusion, or rapid breathing, consult a healthcare professional.
Tips:
Avoid nail polish or artificial nails, as these can interfere with the accuracy of the reading.
If you have poor circulation or are using the oximeter in low temperatures, consider using it on a warm finger.
