Interpreting PO2 report

Post by rsp5820 » Thu Nov 20, 2014 7:29 am

I just got a CMS-50F recording pulse oximeter and am looking at my first Spo2 Assistant report. How do I interpret the chart? Are there any guidelines? I see mostly 93-94% with a few spikes down to 90 and one down to 87. Pulse is steady at 58. I wanted to include a screen capture but could not figure out how to add it to the post.

There are instructions on posting report images in my signature block.
Your number sound very good!
