Step-by-step instructions to check your oxygen saturation using the NONIN oximeter connected to the aTouchAway App.
Your NONIN oximeter should have already been paired to your tablet. These instructions will show you how to respond to the tablet when you receive instructions to check your oxygen saturation.
You may have the option to manually enter your results or to have the aTouchAway App read the results directly from your device. We recommend reading directly from the device.
Once you've selected Read from device, touch the Done button. Follow the instructions on the screen to get a correct reading.
To Check your Oxygen Saturation
Put the oximeter on your finger with your palm facing up. The device will power up and display your oxygen saturation and heart rate.
When you see a steady number, tap the Ok button on the tablet screen to transfer the readings.
You will know that the reading is complete when the 2 progress bars have gone across the tablet’s screen. This takes about 30 seconds.
When completed, remove the oximeter from your finger. The device will power off automatically.
Your reading should come up on the screen, as shown below. It should match what is on your oximeter. If you are satisfied with the reading, touch Done. If you are not, touch where it says Here above the Done button. This will restart the procedure.
If the oximeter does not connect to the tablet, you can choose to manually enter your reading on the initial screen. Touch Here above the Done button, to return to the main screen.
Touch Ok to try the process again or select Manual entry and enter your readings from the oximeter.
