Attention to the operation

  • The finger should be put into the sensor correctly.
  • Do not shake the finger and relax during measurement.
  • Do not put wet fingers directly into the sensor.
  • Avoid placing the device on the same limb which is wrapped with a cuff for blood pressure measurement during venous infusion.
  • Do not let anything block the emitting light from the device, i.e. do not use fingernail polish/paints.
  • Vigorous exercise and electrosurgical device interference may affect the measuring accuracy.
  • For model PC-60E, the orientation sensor works based on gravity. A small movable metal ball is built into the orientation sensor for detecting the orientation of the Oximeter. When you want to change the Oximeter’s display direction, if you move the Oximeter too slowly, the movable metal ball will also move slowly because of not enough acceleration. Consequently, the response of orientation detection would be delayed. Acceleration needs to be provided by the orientation sensor for quick sensing of the orientation change.
  • Nail polish may affect the measuring accuracy, and too-long fingernails may cause the failure of measurement or inaccurate results.
  • The existence of highly intensive light sources, such as fluorescence light, ruby lamb, infrared heater strong sunshine, etc. may cause inaccuracy of measurement results. Please put an opaque cover on the sensor or change the measuring site if necessary.
  • If the first reading appears with poor waveform(irregular or not smooth), then the reading is unlikely true the more stable value is expected by waiting for a while, or a restart is needed when necessary.

Note:
Due to the working principle of the orientation sensor used in Oximeters, such as the model PC-60E, there is a small metal ball that is movable within its compartment of the orientation sensor. Therefore you may hear a slight “clatter” sound when you wave or shake the Oximeter, this is normal!

Field strengths from fixed RF transmitters, as determined by an electromagnetic site survey, should be less than the compliance level in each frequency range .b Interference may occur in the vicinity of equipment marked with the wing symbol.

NOTE 1: At 80 MHz and 800 MHz, the higher frequency range applies.

NOTE 2: These guidelines may not apply in all situations.

Electromagnetic propagation is affected by absorption and reflection from structures, objects and people.

a: Field strengths from fixed transmitters, such as base stations for radio (cellular/cordless) telephones and land mobile radios, amateur radio, AM and FM radio broadcasts and TV broadcasts cannot be predicted theoretically with accuracy. To assess the electromagnetic environment due to fixed RF transmitters, an electromagnetic site survey should be considered. If the measured field strength in the location in which The Fingertip Oximeter is used exceeds the applicable RF compliance level above, The Fingertip Oximeter should be observed to verify normal operation. If abnormal performance is observed, additional measures may be necessary, such as re-orienting or relocating The Fingertip Oximeter.

b: Over the frequency range of 150 kHz to 80 MHz, field strengths should be less than 3V/m.

ATTENTION:

If necessary to achieve the IMMUNITY TEST LEVEL, the distance between the transmitting antenna and the ME EQUIPMENT or ME SYSTEM may be reduced to 1 m. The 1

m test distance is permitted by IEC 61000-4-3.

a)  For some services, only the uplink frequencies are included

b)  The carrier shall be modulated using a 50 % duty cycle square wave signal.

c)  As an alternative to FM modulation, 50 % pulse modulation at 18 Hz may be used because while it does not represent actual modulation, it would be worst case.
