Package Contents

• Fingertip Pulse Oximeter
• Lanyard
• User Manual
• 2 AAA Batteries

Precautions for Use

1. Read the manual carefully before use.
2. Pulse oximeters are sensitive to motion. Keep hands still while taking a reading.
3. Pulse oximeters require sufficient blood flow to obtain proper readings. Poor blood circulation can result in inaccurate readings. If your hands are cold or you have poor circulation, warm your hands by rubbing them together or use another method before attempting to obtain a reading. A tourniquet, blood pressure cuff, or other blood flow hindrances may also result in inaccurate readings.
4. Fingernail polish or acrylic nails obstruct the light transmission and may also result in inaccurate readings.
5. Your finger must be clean for proper reading.
6. The pulse oximeter must be clean for a proper reading.
7. If a reading is difficult to obtain, switch to another finger or to the other hand.
8. There are a number of other conditions that may lead to an inaccurate reading including but not limited to recent medical tests that included an injection of dyes, use of arterial catheters, a weak pulse, low levels of hemoglobin in the blood, low perfusion (the quality of your pulse}, elevated levels of dysfunctional hemoglobin, the strength and type of light that you are in while using the pulse oximeter and the existence of cell phone, radios, and fixed transmitters within certain ranges of the pulse oximeter during use.
9. The pulse oximeter will NOT alert you if your readings are out of normal range.
10. The pulse oximeter has no SpO2 alarms; It is NOT for continuous monitoring.

In addition to items described in the Precautions for Use section inaccurate measurements may be caused by FACTORS INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO:

1. Autoclaving, ethylene oxide sterilizing, or immersing the sensors in liquid.
2. Significant levels of dysfunctional hemoglobin (such as carboxyhemoglobin or methemoglobin}.
3. intravascular dyes such as indocyanine green or methylene blue.
4. SpO2 measurements may be adversely affected in the presence of high ambient light such as direct sunlight. In bright light conditions, cover the sensor area if necessary.
5. Excessive user movement.
6. High-frequency electrosurgical interference and defibrillators.
7. Venous pulsations.
8. The user has hypotension, severe vasoconstriction, severe anemia, or hypothermia.
9. Fingernail polish or false fingernails may cause inaccurate SpO2 readings.

Battery Installation

1. Install two AAA batteries into the battery compartment. Match the plus (+} and the minus (-} signs in the compartment. If the polarities are not matched, damage may be caused to the oximeter.

2. Slide the battery door cover horizontally along the arrow as shown in the picture.
   NOTE: Install the batteries in the right polarity. Incorrect placement may cause damage to the bracket.
   NOTE: Remove the batteries if the pulse oximeter will not be used for long periods of time.

3. The battery indicator symbol on the front panel display will light when the battery voltage is too low for normal operation. Replace the batteries when the indicator symbol lights up.

Lanyard Installation

1. Thread the thinner end of the lanyard through the hole in the rear of the pulse oximeter.
2. Thread the thicker end of the lanyard through the thinner end before pulling it tightly.

WARNING

• Keep the oximeter away from young children. Small items such as the battery door, batteries, and lanyard are choking hazards.
• Explosion hazard: DO NOT use the pulse oximeter in an explosive atmosphere.

Using the Oximeter

1. Open the clamp as shown in the picture.
2. Place one of your fingers into the rubber opening of the pulse oximeter (your finger should touch the bottom portion} before releasing the clamp.
3. Press the button one time on the 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.

Brief Description of Front Panel

The pulse bar graph display corresponds with the user’s pulse beat. The height of the bar graph shows the user’s pulse strength.

Maintenance and Storage

The pulse oximeter requires no routine calibration or maintenance other than the replacement of the batteries. Clean the pulse oximeter and sensor with a soft cloth dampened with isopropyl alcohol. DO NOT pour or spray any liquids onto the pulse oximeter. DO NOT allow any liquid to enter any openings in the device. Allow the pulse oximeter to dry thoroughly before reusing.

Common Questions and Answers

What is a Pulse Oximeter?

• A pulse oximeter is a non-invasive device that indirectly monitors blood oxygen saturation (SpO2) and pulse rate (heart rate). It displays both blood oxygen saturation (SpO2) and pulse rate (heart rate). Pulse oximeters provide an easy way of assessing your blood oxygen level and pulse rate.

What is SpO2?

• SpO2 is also known as oxygen saturation. Oxygen saturation is a measure of how much oxygen the blood is carrying as a percentage of the maximum it can carry.

What is the normal range of SpO2?

• The normal range for SpO2 is typically considered to be from 95% – 99%. The SpO2 measurement may be lower for people who live in high altitudes. Ask your healthcare professional this question as it pertains to you.

What is the normal range for pulse rate?

• The normal resting range for pulse rate is typically considered from 60-100 beats per minute (bpm). Ask your health professional this question as it pertains to you.

What kind of conditions may cause an inaccurate reading?

• Cold hands, poor circulation, very weak pulse, movement, fingernail polish, and acrylic nails (fake nails) may cause inaccurate readings and results. See additional conditions listed in Section 3 of this manual.

The SpO2 is not changing – it’s stuck:

• SpO2 levels do not change like a pulse rate. It is slow to change.

I do not see the battery indicator symbol on the display:

• The battery indicator symbol only appears when the batteries are weak or low.
