This Fingertip Oximeter is intended for measuring the
pulse rate and functional oxygen saturation (SpO2) through
a patient’s finger. It is applicable for spot-checking SpO2
and pulse rate of adult and pediatric patients in homes and
medical clinics. Models with external sensor options and
over-limit Indication may be used for longer periods of
time dependent on the suitability of the sensor selected.

Note:
¾The PI% display will be shifted back to PR display
automatically after 20 seconds even if no button operation.
¾For the model PC-60B3, there is no plethysmogram
display while the display direction is shifted to the right or
left direction, as shown in figure 8D; To the opposite,
PC-60B1 has no plethysmogram on default measuring
screen as shown in figure 8E, while the display direction is
shifted to left side direction, there will be displayed
plethysmogram please refer to figure 8F.

display direction, PI value will automatically display on
the device instead of PR value, PR value will restore after
20 seconds.
¾For PC-60E, upward/downward shift the Oximeter
quickly can turn on/off the pulse beep. The default pulse
beep is OFF.
