A pulse oximeter can be added to the system to record blood oxygen levels. The pulse oximeter is battery-operated and Bluetooth-enabled to communicate wirelessly with the system.

Residents can view their Health Readings by using the Wellness Button on the Touchscreen.

Taking a Pulse Oximetry Reading

Follow all manufacturer-provided directions for setting up and using the pulse oximeter, including battery installation, taking accurate readings, and device care.

Once the reading has been taken, it will be sent to the system automatically, and a wellness reading acknowledgement will appear on the screen.

Supported Models

There may be more than one model that can be used with your system. Use the manufacturer’s directions that came with the device to identify the model you have.
