Put the SPO2 device on your finger.  Your fingertip should be in as far as possible, with your fingernail and the device screen facing up.  Keep your hand steady.  Resting it gently on a surface may be helpful.  Once the reading has appeared on the screen and is steady, touch the Ok button on the tablet screen.  Your pulse reading and oxygen levels may fluctuate slightly as you're taking your reading.  This is acceptable.  Do not remove the device from your finger until the tablet has finished reading from the device.
