Deluxe Pulse Oximeter

ABOUT PULSE OXIMETERS
This pulse oximeter uses advanced technology, which utilizes revolutionary optical sensor technology to measure both blood oxygen saturation (SpO2%) levels and pulse rate. By placing the finger into the sleeve and one touch of a button, this device will send both red and infrared lights into the skin to collect data and display your blood oxygen and pulse rate.

NAME/FUNCTION OF EACH PART

Other Accessories Included:
• 1 “½ AA” Lithium Battery (included in the unit)
• Storage Pouch
• Lanyard

Note: When changing the orientation of the screen, the pulse rate will be shown on the top near the blinking Pulse Rate Icon, and the blood oxygen level will be shown on the bottom of the LCD display.

DISPLAY EXPLANATIONS

| Sensor Off Indicator: Appears when the finger has been removed from the finger sleeve.
---|---
| Weak Battery Symbol: Flashes when the battery should be replaced.
| Pulse Rate : This shows the pulse rate per minute.
| SpO2 Indicator: This shows the blood oxygen saturation level value on a scale of 70 to 99%.
| Calculating: The device is calculating blood oxygen saturation (SpO2 %

REPLACING BATTERY

1. The battery compartment is located on the top of the unit. Remove battery cover by pressing down and sliding the battery cover off. (fig. 1)

2. Install or replace the battery according to the polarity indicator located inside the compartment. Use only 3.6V “½ AA” sized Lithium batteries. (fig. 2)

3. Replace the battery cover by inserting it back into place. (fig. 3) Replace the batteries if:

• The weak battery symbol appears on the display.
• Nothing appears on the display after the finger is inserted into the sleeve and the button is pressed.
Note: Batteries are hazardous waste. Do not dispose of them together with the household garbage.

MEASUREMENT PROCEDURE
If you are using this pulse oximeter for the first time, please remove the protective film from the screen and remove the pull tab from the battery door.

1. Hold the pulse oximeter so that the picture of the fingernail on the finger sleeve is facing up.

2.  Gently place any finger into the finger sleeve as shown in the diagram (fig. A). Slightly press on the sides of the finger sleeve to ease the finger inside.

3. Turn the hand over so that the LCD screen is now facing you and your finger is pointed up (fig. B).

4. Push the Multi-directional button to initiate readings (fig. C).

5.  Continue to vertically hold the pulse oximeter to enable readings

6.  To change the direction of the LCD screen display by 180°, press the Multidirectional button for up to two (2) seconds.
   Note:
   • Signal strength should be greater than one bar to indicate a proper reading (fig. D).

• In the event of weak signal strength, please switch fingers and/or hand and try again.
• For greatest accuracy, limit hand motion during measurement.
• When the finger is removed, the pulse oximeter will turn off after 10 seconds.

IMPORTANT PRODUCT NOTICES AND SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

• Although the readings from this device are for reference only, the Mayo Clinic (http://mayoclinic.com/health/hypoxemia/MY00219) suggests that normal readings are between 95 to 100% under most circumstances. Readings under 90% are considered low.
• This is a home healthcare product only and is solely intended for sports and recreational use. It is not intended to serve as a substitute for the advice of a physician or medical professional.
• The readings from this pulse oximeter are for reference only. Consult a healthcare professional for interpretation of your pulse oximeter measurements.

• This pulse oximeter should not be used where alarms are required when taking measurements.
• For greatest accuracy, wait 10 minutes after exercising, bathing, eating, drinking beverages with alcohol or caffeine, or smoking to measure blood oxygen level.
• Use only 3.6V “½ AA” Lithium battery for power supply.
• Do not use cellular phones or other radio frequency-producing devices near the working device as it may interfere with the proper operation of the pulse oximeter.
• Not for use by or on persons under the age of 18 years old.
