Understanding Wellue and Lookee O2 Ring Report

Question 
Understanding Wellue and Lookee O2 Ring Report
These Oxygen Level Reports list the number of Oxygen level drops per hour as:   >4%  and >3% . Are the >3% drops included in the total number of >4% drops?

RE: Understanding Wellue and Lookee O2 Ring Report
Each is separate from the other.  But, common sense says a 4% drop would have dropped 3% as well).

The 3% drop is more sensitive (your blood oxygen level - SPO2) only has to drop by 3 points to trigger this. 

The 4% drop is less sensitive (you blood oxygen level - SPO2) has to drop by 4 points to trigger this.  

Different tests can use either or both of these.  I have a Wellue sleepu that measures both (and obviously, there are always more 3% drops than 4% drops -  unless one has a perfect score of zero.
