Wlx 501 Pulse Oximeter

Uses of Wlx 501 Pulse Oximeter

• Used to non-invasively measure blood oxygen saturation (SpO2) and pulse rate; helpful for home monitoring in respiratory illness (e.g.
• asthma/COPD)
• COVID/flu recovery
• high altitude exposure
• and general fitness/health checks.

Key benefits

• Measures SpO2
• Measures pulse rate
• Helps monitor hypoxia risk at home
• Quick and non-invasive reading
• Useful for respiratory illness monitoring

How Wlx 501 Pulse Oximeter works

A pulse oximeter uses red and infrared light through the fingertip to estimate oxygen saturation (SpO2) based on light absorption differences between oxygenated and deoxygenated hemoglobin. It also detects pulse rate from pulsatile blood flow signals.

How to take Wlx 501 Pulse Oximeter

Insert 2 AAA batteries if required (as per device), place the device on a clean, warm finger (nail facing up), keep the hand still at heart level, and press the power button. Wait a few seconds for stable readings; avoid movement, cold fingers, nail polish/false nails, and strong ambient light for best accuracy. For personal tracking, record readings at the same time each day or as advised by a clinician.

Take it exactly as your doctor prescribed. Do not change the dose or stop early on your own.

Missed dose and overdose

If you miss a dose

Take the missed dose of Wlx as soon as you remember. If it is almost time for the next dose, skip the missed one and carry on with the usual schedule. Do not take two doses together to make up for a missed dose.

If you take too much

Taking more Wlx than prescribed can be harmful. If you suspect an overdose, contact a doctor or go to the nearest emergency department at once, and carry the pack or strip with you. In India the emergency number is 112.

Side effects of Wlx 501 Pulse Oximeter

Most side effects of Wlx are mild and settle as the body adjusts. Reported side effects include:

• No known side effects; may cause brief fingertip pressure/discomfort in sensitive users

Stop the medicine and seek help immediately for a rash, swelling of the face or lips, wheezing or difficulty breathing. Tell your doctor about any side effect that persists or worries you.

Safety advice for Wlx 501 Pulse Oximeter

Warnings and precautions

This is a screening/monitoring device and does not replace medical evaluation. Readings may be inaccurate with poor circulation, cold extremities, low blood pressure, movement/shivering, dark nail polish/artificial nails, bright light, anemia, carbon monoxide poisoning, methemoglobinemia, and in some arrhythmias. Seek urgent care if SpO2 is persistently low or symptoms (breathlessness, chest pain, bluish lips) occur even with normal readings. Keep out of reach of children; choking hazard if small parts/batteries are accessible.

Interactions with other medicines

No drug interactions. Accuracy can be affected by nail polish, skin dyes, and conditions causing abnormal hemoglobin or low perfusion.

How to store Wlx 501 Pulse Oximeter

Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and moisture. Keep batteries removed if not used for long periods; avoid high heat and water exposure.
