Product Information
Full details
This mini pulse oximeter is designed for children, providing quick and accurate measurements of blood oxygen saturation (SpO2) and pulse rate (PR). Its cute form factor and clear TFT display make it easy for young users, offering a key benefit of convenient health monitoring at home or during travel. A potential caveat to be aware of is that external factors like nail polish or bright ambient light can affect readings.

FAQs
How often should I check my child's SpO2?
The frequency of checking depends on the reason for monitoring. For general wellness checks, occasional use is fine. If advised by a healthcare professional due to a specific condition, follow their recommendations for frequency.
What is the perfusion index?
The perfusion index (PI) is a relative indicator of the pulse strength at the measurement site. A higher PI generally indicates better peripheral circulation.
Can I use this on an adult finger?
This oximeter is specifically designed for children's fingers. While it might fit some smaller adult fingers, the accuracy and fit may not be optimal compared to a device designed for adult use.
How long does the battery last?
The device has low power consumption with a 3.7V 200MAH battery. Specific battery life will vary with usage, but it is designed for convenient home and travel use.
What should I do if I get a reading below 90% SpO2?
A SpO2 reading below 90% may indicate hypoxemia. If you are concerned about your child's reading, especially if they show symptoms like difficulty breathing or cyanosis, contact a healthcare professional immediately.
Does this device require calibration?
No, this device does not require user calibration. It is designed for immediate use after setup.
Is this device a medical device?
This pulse oximeter is intended for spot-checking and general wellness monitoring. It is not a substitute for professional medical advice, diagnosis, or treatment, and should not be used for continuous monitoring or in critical care situations.
Troubleshooting
Device does not turn on
Ensure the device is adequately charged. Check the battery connection if applicable. Try pressing and holding the power button for a few seconds.
Inaccurate or no readings
Ensure the finger is inserted correctly and fully into the sensor. Remove nail polish or artificial nails. Avoid bright ambient light. Ensure the device is not wet. Try cleaning the sensor.
Pulse rate is erratic
Ensure the finger is still and the device is placed correctly. External movement can affect pulse readings. Check for factors that may be affecting circulation, like cold fingers.
Screen is dim or unreadable
Check the battery level. Ensure the protective screen cover (if any) is clean. Avoid using in direct, intense sunlight.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup:
- Ensure the device is charged.
- Gently open the fingertip clip.

- Press the power button to turn on the device. The readings will appear on the screen within seconds.
Compatibility:
- Finger Size: Designed for children's fingers. Ensure the finger fits snugly but comfortably within the clip.
- Nail Polish/Artificial Nails: Avoid wearing nail polish or artificial nails, as they can interfere with accurate SpO2 readings.
Care:
- Cleaning: Clean the fingertip sensor area with a soft, dry cloth or a cotton swab slightly dampened with isopropyl alcohol. Ensure the device is completely dry before use. Do not immerse the device in liquid.
- Storage: Store the oximeter in a dry, cool place away from direct sunlight. Avoid storing it immediately after moving from a cold environment to a warm, humid one, as condensation can affect performance.
- Battery: The device uses a rechargeable 3.7V 200MAH battery. Charge as needed.
- Environment: Avoid using the device in extremely bright ambient light conditions.
