Preparing for a Measurement
Make sure you follow these guidelines before taking a measurement:
- Ensure you are seated with elbows on the table and your feet flat on the floor.
- Don't speak or move during recording (especially your fingers).
- Ensure your finger is clean but not overly dry. If you are unsure, we recommend you wash and dry your hands just before taking your measurement.
- Ensure your hands and fingers are not too cold. If so, warm them by rubbing them together before taking your measurement.
- Ensure your finger is not scarred or calloused at the point of contact.
- Wait at least 10 minutes after waking up or working out before taking your measurement.
- Ensure you and the BeamO are in the same ambient temperature for 10 minutes before taking your measurement.
- Ensure you are at least 1.5 feet from any power outlets or large electronic devices (such as computers, tvs, etc).
- Should only be used on adults age 18 (EU) or 21 (US) or older.
How to take a measurement
To take a measurement, follow these steps:
- Turn on the device by pressing the button.
- Choose your user profile.
- Navigate to the ECG/SpO2 Icon:
- Rest your forefingers over the two sensor electrodes as indicated:
- The measurement will start automatically and last for 30 seconds.
- Adjust the pressure of your fingers to keep the arrow in the middle green zone of the colored gauge on the right side.
Note: Too much or too little pressure can result in premature measurement failure. Finger pressure must remain steady for the duration of the measurement.
