Description
The Amwell Fingertip Pulse Oximeter (AFK 009) is a non-invasive device designed to monitor blood oxygen saturation (SpO2) and pulse rate. This tool is intended for non-medical use, such as for sports and aviation, to check these vital signs. It provides readings of your oxygen saturation and pulse rate, which can be useful for athletes, climbers, or anyone interested in monitoring these metrics. The device is suitable for adults and children over the age of four.
Accurate Readings: Measures blood oxygen saturation (SpO2) with an accuracy of ±2% and pulse rate with an accuracy of ±1% or ±1bpm.
Clear Display: Features a dual-color OLED display that shows SpO2, pulse rate, and may include a pulse rate bar graph and perfusion index.
User-Friendly Design: The device is lightweight, constructed from latex-free materials, and includes features like adjustable brightness and multiple display modes.
Power Efficiency: Includes a low battery indicator and an automatic power-off function that activates after 8 seconds of inactivity to conserve battery life.
Broad Suitability: This oximeter is appropriate for use by a wide range of individuals, including seniors, athletes, and children over four years old.
Q: What is this device used for?
A: This fingertip pulse oximeter is a non-invasive device intended for monitoring a person's pulse rate and blood oxygen saturation levels (SpO2) for sports and aviation use.
Q: How do I take a reading?
A: After resting for at least five minutes, place your finger, preferably the middle or index finger, into the device. Press the power button and keep your hand still for about a minute until the reading is stable.
Q: What is a normal oxygen saturation level?
A: A typical oxygen saturation level (SpO2) for healthy individuals is between 95% and 100%. However, this can vary based on individual health conditions, and it is advisable to consult a doctor for personalized ranges.
Q: Can this oximeter be used for children?
A: While some adult pulse oximeters may work for children aged 2 and older, specialized pediatric devices are generally recommended for more reliable results in younger children and infants.
Q: How should I clean and maintain the oximeter?
A: Wipe the surface and the part that touches your finger with a soft cloth dampened with medical alcohol. Do not spray any liquids directly onto the device. It's best to store it in a dry place and remove the batteries if not used for a long time.

Safety Information/Precaution
This device is not intended to diagnose or treat any medical condition and should not be used for continuous patient monitoring. Individuals who require SpO2 and pulse rate measurements due to a medical condition should consult with their physician.
Do not use the fingertip pulse oximeter in an MRI or CT environment.
The device is not suitable for infants or newborns.
Clean the finger being tested before and after each use. The silicone part that touches the finger can be cleaned with a soft cloth dampened with 70% isopropyl alcohol.
Keep the oximeter away from young children as small parts like the battery cover can be a choking hazard.
