Zacurate 500CL Fingertip Pulse Oximeter User Manual

Zacurate 500CL Fingertip Pulse Oximeter

General Description

• SpO2 stands for peripheral capillary oxygen saturation.
• Oxygen saturation is defined as the ratio of oxyhemoglobin (HbO2) to the total concentration of hemoglobin (i.e. Oxyhemoglobin + reduced hemoglobin) present in the blood.
• It is an important physiological parameter involved in respiration and circulation.
• The Pulse Oximeter feature herein is small, portable, non-invasive, and easy to use.
• The user only needs to insert a finger into the chamber to measure his/her SpO2 level and pulse rate.
• It has also been proven to be highly precise and reliable in clinical tests.

Measurement Principle

• Oxygenated blood absorbs light preferentially at 905nm (near-infrared light), whereas deoxygenated blood absorbs light preferentially at 660nm (red light).
• A pulse oximeter works by passing a beam of red and infrared light through a pulsating capillary bed and then measuring the amount of red and infrared light emerging from the tissues via a sensor.
• To improve accuracy, the 500CL uses a proprietary algorithm to collect data from pulsatile arterial blood and excludes noise from the tissues.
• The relative absorption of light by oxyhemoglobin (HbO) and deoxyhemoglobin is then calculated according to Beer-Lambert’s law and a quantitative measurement of the users’ oxyhemoglobin status i.e. Oxygen saturation level (SpO2) is derived.

• The fingertip pulse oximeter is dependent on blood flow to obtain an accurate SpO2 measurement. Verify that nothing is hindering your blood flow before taking your SpO2 readings.

• This device is not intended to diagnose or treat any medical condition or disease. It is intended for non-medical use by healthy people to monitor their pulse rate and blood oxygen levels. It is for sports and/or aviation use. People who need SpO2 and pulse rate measurements because of a medical condition should not use this pulse oximeter and should consult with their physician.

Inaccurate measurements may be caused by

Intended Use

The 500CL Fingertip pulse oximeter is a portable non-invasive device intended for spot-checking of oxygen saturation of arterial hemoglobin (SpO2) and pulse rate of children (>12 years old) and adult. The device is for sports and/or aviation use.

Operation Instructions

1. Install two AAA batteries according to the Battery Installation instructions.
2. Place one of your fingers into the finger chamber of the pulse oximeter.
3. Press the on/off button on the front panel to turn the pulse oximeter on.
4. Keep your hand and finger still for the reading. It is recommended that you do not move your body while taking a reading.
5. Read the data from the display screen.

Tips to getting a good reading

1. Make sure that your finger is inserted deep into the chamber so that the fingertip is placed directly in between the LED sensor and the LED light source.

2. Avoid making any body movement, especially your finger while taking measurements.

3. Long fingernails may obstruct the light sensor and prevent accurate measurement. Please keep the fingernails short while using the device.

4. Excessive ambient infrared light, especially in an overly bright lit room, can interfere with the sensor, preventing an accurate measurement.

5. Poor blood circulation can affect oximeter readings. Warm your hands and fingers before taking your measurements.
   Note that the pulse oximeter is measuring your SpO2 and PR based on your blood flow. If the blood flow in your finger drops below a certain level, the pulse oximeter will not be able to get a reading.

6. Some people with medical conditions such as anemia, hypotension, and hypothermia may experience an inaccurate reading during use. In such a case, we suggest that you consult a physician.

Front Panel

• The pulse bar graph is a useful feature that can be used to determine the reliability of a reading.
• If the height of the pulse bar is less than 30%, this indicates signal inadequacy and the displayed SpO2 or pulse rate value is potentially incorrect.
• Adjust your finger so that it is directly between the LED lights and the sensor.
