This information explains how to use your Nonin 3230 pulse oximeter.
Overview
Your healthcare provider would like you to use a pulse oximeter to check your oxygen levels from home. This device lets your care team monitor your oxygen levels and provide help as early as possible.
Please view these instructions on how to set up and take a reading using your pulse oximeter. If you have questions, please call your healthcare provider’s office.
How to set up your Nonin 3230 pulse oximeter
- Slide off the back cover of the pulse oximeter (see Figure 1) and install two AAA batteries (see Figure 2).
- Slide the cover back on.
Your Nonin pulse oximeter is ready to take a reading.
