Please update, if you have any symtoms at present/recent days. Please check saturation in your middle fingers of both hands. Ensure  correct placement and wait for at least 30 sec . Then take reading. In case of discrepancy or low saturation , please check with other pulse oxymeter. Or Consult near by Doctor for needful action .
