Overview

The pulse oxygen saturation is the percentage of HbO2 in the total Hb in the blood, so-called the O2 concentration in the blood. It is an important bio- parameter for respiration. For the purpose of measuring the SpO2 more easily and accurately, our company developed the Pulse Oximeter. At the same time, the device can measure the pulse rate.

The Pulse Oximeter features in small size, low power consumption, convenient operation, and portability. It is only necessary for patients to put one of their fingers into a fingertip photoelectric sensor for diagnosis, and a display screen will directly show the measured value of Hemoglobin Saturation

Classification:

Class II b(MDD93/42/EEC IX Rule 10)

Features

• Operation of the product is simple and
• The product is small in size, light in weight (total weight is about 50g including batteries), and convenient in carrying.
• The power consumption of the product is low and the two originally equipped AAA batteries can be operated continuously for 24 hours.
• The product will automatically be powered off when no signal is in the product within 5

Major applications and scope of application

The Pulse Oximeter can be used to measure human Hemoglobin Saturation and pulse rate through the finger and indicate the pulse intensity by the bar display. The product is suitable for use in families, hospitals (ordinary sickroom), Oxygen Bar, social medical organizations, and also the measure of saturation oxygen and pulse rate.

• The product is not suitable for use in the continuous supervision of patients.
• The problem of overrating would emerge when the patient is suffering from toxicosis which is caused by carbon monoxide. The device is not recommended to be used under this circumstance.

Environment requirements

Operating Environment

1. Temperature: 10ºC~40ºC
2. Relative Humidity: ≤75%

Principle

Principle of measurement

The principle of the Oximeter is as follows: An experience formula of data processing is established by making use of Lambert-Beer Law according to Spectrum Absorption Characteristics of Reductive Hemoglobin (Hb) and Oxyhemoglobin (HbO2) in glow & near-infrared zones. The operation principle of the instrument is: Photoelectric Oxyhemoglobin Inspection Technology is adopted in accordance with Capacity Pulse Scanning & Recording Technology so that two beams of different wavelengths of light can be focused onto a human nail tip through a perspective clamp finger-type sensor. Then measured signal can be obtained by a photosensitive element, information acquired through which will be shown on screen through treatment in electronic circuits and a microprocessor

Caution

1. The finger should be placed properly (see the attached illustration of this manual Figure 5), or else it may cause inaccurate measurement.
2. The SpO2 sensor and photoelectric receiving tube should be arranged in a way with the subject’s arteriole in a position therebetween．
3. The SpO2 sensor should not be used at a location or limb tied with an arterial canal or blood pressure cuff or receiving an intravenous injection.
4. Make sure the optical path is free from any optical obstacles like rubberized
5. Excessive ambient light may affect the measuring result. It includes a fluorescent lamp, dual ruby light, infrared heater, direct sunlight, etc.
6. Strenuous action of the subject or extreme electrosurgical interference may also affect the
7. Testee cannot use enamel or other

Clinical restrictions

1. As the measurement is taken on the basis of arteriole pulse, substantial pulsating blood flow of the subject is required. For a subject with a weak pulse due to shock, low ambient/body temperature, major bleeding, or use of the vascular contracting drug, the SpO2 waveform (PLETH) will In this case, the measurement will be more sensitive to interference.
2. For those with a substantial amount of staining dilution drugs (such as methylene blue, indigo green, and acid indigo blue), carbon monoxide hemoglobin (COHb), methionine (Me+Hb), or thiosalicylic hemoglobin, and some with icterus problem, the SpO2 determination by this monitor may be
3. The drugs like dopamine, procaine, prilocaine, lidocaine, and butacaine may also be a major factor blamed for serious errors in SpO2
4. As the SpO2 value serves as a reference value for judgment of anemic anoxia and toxic anoxia, some patients with serious anemia may also report good SpO2

Frequently Asked Questions

Is the Accumed pulse oximeter accurate?

It reads accurate oxygen saturation and pulse rate in one device. The Pulse Oximeter fits all finger sizes from kids above four years old to adults as it measures the level of oxygen in the blood and reads the pulse rate in just eight to ten seconds.

How do you use an Accumed pulse oximeter?

Remove the back cover and install the two AAA batteries included in the box. Insert your finger by aligning it with the red light and wait for the oximeter to switch on. Read the results in eight to ten seconds.

What is the battery life of a pulse oximeter?

The oximeter uses two 1.5 V AAA-type batteries and a set of new batteries can be used for more than 18 hours, depending on the concrete battery type.

How long should the oximeter stay on the finger?

It works best on the middle or index finger of either hand, it should not be used on your ear. The reading takes time to steady. Keep the pulse oximeter in place for at least a minute, or longer if the reading keeps changing. Record the highest result once the reading has not changed for five seconds.

Can the oximeter show the wrong reading?

Pulse oximeters have limitations and risks of inaccuracy under certain circumstances. In many cases, the level of inaccuracy may be small and not clinically meaningful; however, there is a risk that an inaccurate measurement may result in unrecognized low oxygen saturation levels.

Is the AccuMed oximeter FDA-approved?

The LED display cover prevents ambient light washout, making readings crisp and clear. FDA registered. Other information: 1-year US Warranty provided exclusively through AccuMed.

How does a fingertip oximeter work?

The pulse oximeter uses a cold light source that shines a light through the fingertip, making the tip appear to be red. By analyzing the light from the light source that passes through the finger, the device is able to determine the percentage of oxygen in the red blood cell.

Do different fingers give different oximeter readings?

According to the results of our study, we believe that the middle finger of the dominant hand has the highest and possibly the most accurate SpO2 measurements. The highest SpO2 value can be taken as the most accurate value that reflects the arterial oxygen saturation (SaO2).

Does dark skin affect pulse oximetry?

Dark skin decreases the accuracy of pulse oximeters at low oxygen saturation: the effects of oximeter probe type and gender.

Can an oximeter detect COVID?

We do not recommend using a pulse oximeter as a way to tell if someone has COVID-19. Get tested if you have signs of COVID-19 or if you have been close to someone who has it. If someone has COVID-19, a pulse oximeter may help them keep watch over their health and to know if they need medical care.

Does the oximeter show the correct oxygen level?

A pulse oximeter is used at home to watch for changes in oxygen levels. Your doctor may suggest using one if you have a condition that affects your oxygen level. Your test results and changes in your symptoms are used together to check your health and make decisions.

Which sensor is used in the pulse oximeter?

Conventional pulse oximeters non-invasively measure human pulse rate and arterial blood oxygen saturation with an optoelectronic sensor composed of two inorganic light-emitting diodes (LEDs) with different peak emission wavelengths and a single inorganic photodiode

What are the principles of pulse oximetry?

Pulse oximetry is based on two physical principles: (a) the presence of a pulsatile signal generated by arterial blood, which is relatively independent of non-pulsatile arterial blood, venous and capillary blood, and other tissues; and (b) the fact that oxyhemoglobin (O2Hb) and reduced hemoglobin (Hb) have different

Does sunlight affect the pulse oximeter?

Pulse oximeter readings are not significantly affected by 5 light sources commonly found in the clinical setting.

How do you maintain a pulse oximeter?

(Cleaning) Wipe the outer surfaces, sensors, and cables of the device from top to bottom with a cloth or disposable wipe soaked in detergent and clean water, and then wipe off any remaining detergent residue with a dry lint-free cloth. To avoid permanent damage, do not use excessive amounts of liquids to clean the device.
