easy home EHP029 Fingertip Pulse Oximeters

General Description

The Easy@Home Fingertip Pulse Oximeter EHP029 is a handheld non-invasive device intended for spot-checking of oxygen saturation of hemoglobin (SpO2) and Pulse Rate for adult, adolescent and children.
Oxygen binds to hemoglobin in red blood cells when moving through the lungs. It is transported throughout the body as arterial blood. A pulse oximeter uses two frequencies of light (red and infrared) to determine the percentage(%) of hemoglobin in the blood that is saturated with oxygen. The percent­age is called blood oxygen saturation, or SpO2. A pulse oximeter also measures and displays the pulse rate at the same time as it measures the SpO2 level.
Read and follow the operating procedures closely as shown in the instructions. Otherwise malfunction, equipment damage, or personal injury may occur. The manufacturer warranty does not include safety and reliability issues due to user negligence.
NOTE: This oximeter is for sports or aviation use only and is NOT intended for medical use.

Measurement Principle:

Principle of the oximeter is as follows: The pulse oximeter works by applying a sensor to either pointer finger. The sensor contains a dual light source and photo detector. The one wavelength of light source is 660nm, which is red light; the other is 905nm, which is infrared-red light. Skin, bone, tissue and venous vessels normally absorb a constant amount of light over time. The photo detector in the finger sensor collects and converts the light into an electronic signal which is proportional to the light intensity. Systolic blood pressure is the first number measuring the pressure in your blood vessels when your heart beats; the second number is diastolic blood pressure measuring the pressure in your blood vessels as well, but when the heart is resting in between beats. The ratio of light absorbed at systole and diastole is translated into an oxygen saturation measurement. This measurement is referred to as SpO2.

Precautions for Use

1. Operation of the fingertip pulse oximeter may be affected by using an electrosurgical unit (ESU).
2. The fingertip pulse oximeter must be able to measure the pulse properly to obtain an accurate SpO2 measurement. Before relying on the SpO2 measurement, verify that nothing is hindering the pulse measurement.
3. Do not use the fingertip pulse oximeter in an MRI or CT environment.
4. Do not use the fingertip pulse oximeter in situations where alarms are required. The device has no alarms. It is not for continuous monitoring.
5. Do not use the fingertip pulse oximeter in an explosive atmosphere.
6. The fingertip pulse oximeter is intended only as an adjunct assessment. It must be used in conjunc­tion with other methods of assessing signs and symptoms.
7. In order to ensure correct sensor alignment and skin integrity, the maximum application time for this device should be less than half an hour.
8. Do not sterilize the device using autoclaving, ethylene oxide sterilizing, or immersing the device in liquid. The device is not intended for sterilization.
9. Follow local ordinances and recycling instructions regarding disposal or recycling of the device and device components, including batteries.
10. This equipment complies with IEC 60601-1-2:2014 for electromagnetic compatibility for medical electrical equipment and/or systems. However, because of the proliferation of radio-frequency transmitting equipment and other sources of electrical noise in environments, it is possible that high levels of such interference due to proximity close proximity or strength of a source might disrupt the performance of this device.
11. Portable and mobile RF communications equipment can affect electrical equipment.
12. This equipment is not intended for use during person transport outside a facility
13. This equipment should not be used adjacent to or stacked with other equipment.
14. Do not disassemble, repair or modify the equipment without authority.
15. These materials that contact with the skin contain medical silicone and ABS plastic enclosure are all pass the ISO10993-5 Tests for invitro cytotoxicity and ISO10993-10 Tests for irritation and delayed-type hypersensitivity.

Inaccurate Measurements May be Caused by

1. Significant levels of dysfunctional hemoglobin (such as carbonyl – hemoglobin or methemoglobin);
2. lntravascular dyes such as indocyanine green or methylene blue;
3. Strong ambient light. Shield the sensor area if necessary;
4. Excessive movement;
5. High-frequency interference and defibrillators;
6. Venous pulsations;
7. Placement of a sensor on an extremity with a blood pressure cuff, arterial catheter, or intravascular line;
8. Hypotension, severe vasoconstriction, severe anemia, or hypothermia;
9. Cardiac arrest or shock;
10. Fingernail polish or false fingernails;
11. Weak pulse quality (known as low perfusion);
12. Low hemoglobin;

Contraindication
This device is not for continuous monitoring.

Product Features

• Dual color OLEO displays SpO2, PR, Pulse bar, and waveform.
•  Level 1-10 adjustable brightness.
• 6 display modes.
• 2 pack AAA-size alkaline batteries (included in box); low-battery indicator.
• When it shows “Finger out”, the pulse oximeter will power off automatically in 8 seconds.

Operation Instructions

1. Install two AAA batteries according to the Battery Installation instructions.
2. Place one of your fingers into the rubber opening of the pulse oximeter.
3. Press the switch button one time on front panel to turn the pulse oximeter on.
4. Keep your hands still for the reading. Do not shake your finger during the test. It is recommended that you do not move your body while taking a reading.
5. Read the data from the display screen.

Tips:

1. Pressing the power switch for longer than one second will adjust the brightness of the oximeter. There are 10 levels of brightness. The default is level four.
2. After turning on the Oximeter, each time you press the power switch, the Oximeter will switch to another display mode. There are 6 display modes.
3. Take out your finger, then screen displays “Finger Out”. It means the measurement is ended.

Front Panel:

Notes:

1. The pulse bar less than 30% indicates signal inadequacy and the displayed SpO2 or pulse rate value is potentially inaccurate.
2. If the screen displays “?”, it means the signal is unstable, please take out your finger out and put it back in the oximeter, then keep your hands still and retry.

Battery Installation

1. Slide the battery door cover open horizontally along the arrow.
2. Install two AAA batteries into the battery compartment. Match the plus(+) and minus(-) signs in the compartment. If the polarities are not matched, damage may be caused to the oximeter.
3. Close the battery door cover by sliding back.

Notes:
Please remove the batteries if the pulse oximeter will not be used for long periods of time, as corrosion can occur.
Please replace the battery when the power indicator starts flickering.

Using the Lanyard

1. Thread the thinner end of the lanyard through the loop.
2. Thread the thicker end of the lanyard through the threaded end before pulling it tightly.

Warning!

• Keep the oximeter away from young children. Small items such as the battery door, battery, and lanyard are choking hazards.
• Do not hang the lanyard from the device’s electrical wire.
• Please notice that the lanyard, which is tied to the oximeter, may cause strangling due to excessive length.
