Replace the batteries of the oxymeter, sit in a straight position with back rest, do not shake the finger and stay calm while taking the reading. If the reading are still fluctuating from one device discard it, check with the other one.

Change battery of Pulse oximeter. Take reading from middle finger of dominant hand. Cross check with other oximeters. If still shows less reading then discard it.
