Product introduction
A Pulse Oximeter is a common device used to check oxygen saturation (SpO²) and
pulse rate.
It is a compact, reliable and durable physiological monitoring device
featuring an OLED display and powered by batteries (not included).
Intended use
The Pulse Oximeter is reusable device and is intended for spot checking the
pulse oxygen saturation and pulse rate of adults.
It should not be used for continuous monitoring – this should only be done
under the guidance of your doctor.
Restrictions
WARNING
Use of the device is for adults only.
Please do not use the device for children, infants and neonatal. The product
is not suitable for children under 3 years because of choking hazard.
Safety instructions
The person using the Pulse Oximeter must have read the instructions for use
carefully.
This product should only be used to give an indicative or reference reading.
It should not be used to determine a diagnosis without consultation with your
doctor. Longer term or ongoing use should only be under the guidance of your
doctor.
If you experience any discomfort in use, please stop immediately and seek
medical help.
When using the Pulse Oximeter the user should pay attention to, and guarantee
safety of the patient being measured.
The Pulse Oximeter does not feature an alarm function. It should not be used
for continuous monitoring for an extended period.
Damaged skin tissue can not be measured.
Do not use the device if it has been damaged in any way.
Do not use the device in any way other than that described in this manual.
WARNING
Do not to use the Pulse Oximeter during MRI (magnetic resonance imaging)
scanning or CT (Computed To mography ) environment as the induced current
could potentially cause burns.
The device should not be modified, repaired or serviced in any way by the end
user.
Do not use the Pulse Oximeter in the presence of flammable anesthetics,
explosive substances, vapors or liquids.
Ensure the device is always clean and free from dirt before use.
Before cleaning the device, ensure it is turned off.
Do not use high pressure or high temperature to disinfect orclean the device.
Never use cleaning agents/disinfectants other than those recommended.
The device is a factory sealed unit. Keep its surface dry and clean, and
prevent contact with liquids.
The Pulse Oximeter is precision device. Avoid pressure, knocks, strong
vibration or other mechanical damage.
Please store safely when not in use.
For disposal of Pulse Oximeter and accessories, follow local regulations
regarding disposal of such a device and accessories. Do not dispose of
randomly.
Use AAA alkaline batteries. Do not use carbon or poor quality batteries.
Remove the batteries if the product will not be used for an extended period of
time.
Avoid exposure to static electricity before using the Pulse Oximeter.
When in use, keep the device away from radio receivers.
To avoid enhanced electro magnetic radiation or reduce anti-electromagnetic
interference performance, only use the device as configured.
Portable and mobile radio frequency communication equipment can affect the
normal use of the pulse oximeter.
Storage environment
The Pulse Oximeter should not be close to or stored with other equipment.
Always store the device and small parts such as batteries out of the reach of
children.
Always ensure suitable supervision of patients or others where the device is
used on a lanyard.

Description of the product
Function description
The Pulse Oximeter is used to measure arterial oxygen saturation (SpO²) and
the pulse rate. Oxygen saturation indicates the percentage of haemoglobin in
the arterial blood that is loaded with oxygen.
The Pulse Oximeter uses two light beams of different wavelengths for
measurement. These light beams strike the inserted finger inside the housing
and are put in relation to each other during measurement. The arterial oxygen
saturation is then calculated and displayed on the Pulse Oximeter.

- Infrared Light receiver
Measuring steps
Remove the battery compartment cover and insert the batteries as shown in
Figures 1.
Securely re-fit the battery compartment cover.
Squeeze one end of the device to open it and place an index finger inside.
Allow the device to gently close on the finger as shown in Figure 2. (Index,
middle or ring fingers can be used for a reading)
Press the power / function button on the front panel to switch on the device.
Keep the finger and device still with as little movement as possible and allow
the device to take a measurement.
Ensure the finger is inserted far enough into the sensor so that the
fingernail is just opposite to the light emitted from the sensor.
NOTICE
Do not perform SpO² monitoring and NIBP (Non-invasive blood pressure)
measurements on the same arm simultaneously. Obstruction of blood flow during
NIBP measurements may adversely affect the reading of the SpO² value.
Do not use the Pulse Oximeter to measure patients whose pulse rate is lower
than 30bpm, as this may cause incorrect results.
Ensure there is no contamination and/or scar on the tested finger as the
result indicated may be incorrect due to the signal received by the sensor
being affected.
When used on various patients, the product is prone to cross contamination,
which should be prevented and controlled by the user. Disinfection is
recommended before using the product on other patients.
The highest temperature threshold of the sensor contacts with a patient’s skin
is 41°C.
Repeat use may require the use of different fingers to obtain a measurement.
Factors affecting measurement accuracy
Incorrect placement of the finger may affect the accuracy of the measurement.
The measurements also depend on absorption of a special wavelength ray by
oxidized hemoglobin and deoxyhemoglobin. Concentration of nonfunctional
hemoglobin may affect the accuracy of the measurement.
Always consult a doctor if in doubt.
Shock, anemia, hypothermia and the application of vasoconstriction drug may
decrease arterial blood flow toan unmeasurable level.
Pigment, or deep color (for example: nail polish, artificial nails, dye or
pigmented cream) may cause inaccurate measurements.
Rotate the display
