iProven Pulse Oximeter Troubleshooting

How to use the iProven Pulse Oximeter OXI-27BL

Reasons why you are getting a bad “unrealistic results” reading:

First try again, if not:

• Nail Polish
• Cold fingers
• Excessive ambient light
• Low battery
• Moving your finger around inside the device
• Not correctly placing your finger inside the device
• Finger must cover the reader inside the device

The test is complete when the numbers stabilize, and should be fairly immediate - there is no notification of when the test is done.
