• Check that the finger holder is properly
attached to the patient.
• Clean the light-source and sensor sec-
tions.
• Take measures to prevent direct entry
of strong light to the finger holde
r.
• Check that the finger holder is properly
attached
to the patient. If the finger
holder
is properly attached but this

still appears, the circulation
in
the area being measured may not
be
good. If this occurs, warm up the
measurement location.
• Attach the finger holder to the patient

• Attach the finger holder to the body

are
regarded as blood circulation or
other circulatory problems. If this

warm up the measurement lo-
cation.
• In particular, when the pulse is weak,
this
error tends to occur. For improved
measurement
accuracy, if the finger
holder
is exposed to strong light, wrap
it
with a piece of black cloth, etc. Also
make
sure that the patient rests calmly
to avoid influence of body movement.
