2.OPERATING METHOD

A3 Measurements

This instrument measures with the forefinger inserted in the finger cuff. To ensure stable measurement, hold the instrument properly by placing your thumb on the thumb rest. Most important is to hold the instrument body securely and to not place your thumb on the bottom of the instrument (which would apply a force to the forefinger).

1. Open the finger holder.

2. Insert the index finger and release the finger holder.

• Opening the finger holder will start measurement automatically.

Notes on Measurements

Remove nail polish before taking measurements.

If no measurement values are displayed, attach the finger holder to a thinner finger to take measurements.

It may not be possible to take measurements in case of blood circulation or blood stream problems. In this case, remove the finger holder, rub or warm the finger to improve blood circulation, then re-attach the finger holder.

Do not use the instrument in areas where it is exposed to strong light such as direct sunlight.

Check that the pulse level meter changes in synchronization with the pulse rate during measurements. In the following cases, the level meter may not operate properly, hindering display of correct values.

Rapid body movement

Finger Holder is not attached to the patient properly.

Arm or finger is pressed, causing bad blood circulation.

When using the instrument, take care not to expose the finger holder to strong light.

Ending Measurements

1.Open the finger holder and remove the finger.

Measurement will stop automatically, and the display will go off after 10 seconds.

Notes on Use

If the instrument will not be used for a long period of time, remove the batter- ies from the battery chamber.
