A note about these guidelines

The information below reflects our most common recommendations. Your provider or care team may give you specific instructions that are different — always follow their guidance first. If you have questions about how or when to take your readings, call the care team.

For The Most Accurate Reading

• Make sure your fingers are warm. Cold hands can affect the reading. If needed, warm your hands under warm water and dry them thoroughly before using the device.

• Dark nail polish or artificial nails can make it harder for the device to get an accurate reading. Remove nail polish from the finger you are using if possible.

• Sit still and breathe normally during the reading.

• Keep your hand still and leave the device in place until the reading is finished.

• If a reading seems unusual or below the range recommended by your provider, follow your provider’s instructions and contact the care team if needed.

• If a reading seems unusual, wait a few minutes and repeat it. If still unusual for you, call the care team.

Capturing Your First Reading

Read your owner’s manual for all safety and use information.

Insert batteries into your iPulseOx monitor — be sure to use a high-quality brand like Energizer.

Insert your finger into the monitor.

Press the button to begin your reading. Note: To change the direction of the display, simply push the button to rotate it.

Wait for the “upload success” message and you’re done! Your results are automatically sent to your provider.
