2 Conducting a test
Some rules should be followed when conducting the test.
2.1 Preparation for the test
The parameters of the cardiovascular system sensitively respond to the state of the body and its nervous
system. Try to exclude factors that distort the results before conducting the test.
With a healthy lifestyle, exclude at least a day before the test:
· tobacco smoking
· taking vasoactive drugs
· caffeine intake
· alcohol intake
· taking stimulants (“energy drinks”)
· heavy physical activity
If you are prescribed drugs for permanent use, you smoke, or have other permanent addictions, the test
will also be indicative. In this case, remember that not you are being tested, but, say, “You and tobacco”.
One cigarette right before a vascular checkup can ruin your performance for ten years of unhealthy life.
Rest for at least ten minutes in a warm, darkened, quiet room immediately before the test.
Cold hands can result in a low perfusion index. Warm your hands if necessary.
Dark nail polish may interfere with the operation of the device. If it is not possible to remove the
varnish, turn the device 90 degrees so that the sensor light passes along the nail.
2.2 Choosing the time and place of the test
You can perform the test anywhere, anytime. It is enough to remember that time and place affect the
results. It is good if you have the opportunity to choose a quiet, warm room without bright lighting. You
can take the test in a lying or sitting position, on the right or left hand. Care should be taken to ensure
that the hand during the test was located approximately at the level of the heart. This is especially
important for the test in a sitting position. The metatarsal and elbow joints should be located stable and
motionless, for example, on a table.
Avoid direct sunlight, illumination from a working TV, computer monitor, and other rapidly
changing light sources on the device.
You can only compare data obtained in the same way:
· at the same time of day
· in the same body position
· on the same hand
For example, you regularly run three tests a day:
oin the morning before getting up, on the right hand, lying
obefore dinner, on the right hand, sitting
oin the evening before going to bed, on the right hand, lying
It will make sense to compare morning with morning, dinner with dinner, evening with evening.
2.3 Behavior during the test
To reduce bias in the test, follow these rules:
· stay in peace
· relax your arms, legs, stomach
· breathe easy

Conducting a test
· do not move your hand or finger with the device
· don't talk
· don't laugh
· avoid vibration
· eliminate bright exposure
2.4 Placing the device on the finger
· Fold out the support from the bottom of the device.
· Turn your right hand palm down.
· Hold the device in your left hand with the screen up, the button on the right.
· Insert the index finger of your right hand into the lock.
· Make sure that the sensor is under the pad of your finger. It feels like a small depression.

How to evaluate your test results
3 How to evaluate your test results
Based on the test results, the device generates scores for the following indicators:
· Pulse rate;
· Saturation of blood hemoglobin with oxygen;
· Perfusion index;
· Vessel age;
· Vascular stiffness;
· Pulse wave type;
· Systole duration;
· Stress level.
When displaying the results for each indicator, the device displays the score numerically and with a
triangular arrow pointing to a section of the three-color scale. There are three evaluation options:
· green - good condition
· yellow - satisfactory condition
· red - unsatisfactory condition, if there are consistently negative results for some time, it is
recommended to consult a specialist.
3.1 Pulse rate
Pulse rate or the number of heartbeats per minute. The inverse of this value is the pulse wave duration.
The device evaluates the duration of each pulse wave, calculates the instantaneous value of the pulse
frequency, and determines the average value based on the test results.

This is an important indicator, primarily reflecting the fitness of the body. The higher the resting heart
rate, the less trained the body and the cardiovascular system in particular. For those who regularly
exercise, the resting heart rate has values in the range of 55-60, which can be assessed as an excellent
condition, 60-80 is good, more than 90 is bad.
A more reliable assessment of the fitness of the body can be obtained by conducting load tests.
As an option:
1. Determine the pulse rate in a normal resting state.
2. Do 20 squats in 30 seconds.
3. After 3 minutes, reassess heart rate and calculate the difference between the second and first
results.
Result:
· good fitness - up to 5 beats;
· satisfactory - 5-10 beats;
· low - more than 10 beats.
3.2 Oxygen saturation
Oxygen, inhaled with atmospheric air, is transferred to the organs with the help of a special carrier
protein - hemoglobin, which is contained in red blood cells, erythrocytes. The oxygen level in the blood or
the oxygen saturation degree of the blood shows how much hemoglobin in the body is in a state
associated with oxygen.

How to evaluate your test results
Oxygen saturation - saturation (SpO2) of blood hemoglobin with oxygen is a vital indicator, the value of
which is determined by:
· pumping function of the heart
· ability of the lungs to oxygenate the blood
· state of hemoglobin - oxygen carrier
Normally, almost all hemoglobin is associated with oxygen, while the hemoglobin saturation with oxygen
varies in the range from 96% to 99%. A steady decrease in the level of saturation below 95% can be
observed with disorders in the respiratory and cardiovascular systems, with severe anemia.
With chronic diseases of the heart and lungs, a decrease in this indicator may indicate an exacerbation
of the disease, in such situation, one should seek medical help. A decrease in the level of saturation of
hemoglobin with oxygen against the background of a cold, flu, acute respiratory viral infections,
pneumonia and other lung diseases may indicate a complicated course of the disease.
The saturation level indicator is important for people with chronic lung diseases, including chronic
bronchitis.
When performing a study, it should be taken into account that a number of factors can lead to an error in
assessing the level of oxygen in the blood. Such factors include the presence of a manicure, especially
with the use of dark shades of varnish, the movement of hands or trembling of the fingers during the
examination, the presence of a strong external light source - solar or artificial, and the close proximity of
sources of strong electromagnetic radiation, such as mobile phones. The low temperature in the study
room can also lead to errors in the SpO2 assessment.
There may be slight individual fluctuations in the saturation level. To correctly interpret the score for this
indicator, several tests should be performed. This will reveal the individual characteristics of fluctuations
in the level of oxygen in the blood, and will help to correctly interpret certain changes in the future.
A sharp decrease in SpO2 by 3-4% of normal values can be a sign of the development of diseases such
as influenza or pneumonia.

3.3 Perfusion index
PI (Perfusion Index) - perfusion index, is a technical indicator. It reflects the level of the useful signal
available for processing by the device. Values less than 1.0 indicate an insufficient signal level. The
reason for this may be cold hands, too dark nail polish, pathology of the arteries. In this case, the test
results may be unreliable.
If the filling index is less than 1.0, the device will issue a warning about the possible unreliability of the
test results. Depending on the reason for the decrease in the perfusion index, it is possible to
recommend:
· warm hands;
· turn the device so that the light of the sensor passes under the nail and not through it;
· change hand.

3.4 Vascular age
If your vascular age is less than the passport age, then this is good. A constant significant excess of the
vascular age over the passport age may be a recommendation for consultation with a specialist. At the
same time, you can note a decrease in vascular age against the background of an increase in blood
pressure and pulse rate.
It is important to record this indicator at a certain time of the day, on the same hand, better the working
one - right for a right-hander, left for a left-hander.
A good time to evaluate this indicator is considered to be the morning hours from 9 to 11.

3.5 Vascular stiffness
Here the sign in front of the number is important. If it is negative, then this rather indicates the preserved
elasticity of the arteries. The greater is the negative value of the stiffness percentage, the better is the
condition of the large arteries.
The normal values of this indicator depend on the age of the subject: in the age category from 18 to 35
years, a negative value from -40% to -5% is considered the norm. In the age category over 40 years, the
norm ranges from -5% to 5%. For people older than 55 years, positive values of this indicator are typical.
Of course, the aging process is irreversible and inevitably leads to a gradual increase in vascular
stiffness, but regardless of your age, you should strive to reduce the vascular stiffness index through a
healthy lifestyle.
For a correct assessment of this indicator, it is necessary to first set the real age of the user in the
device.
