- Discomfort or pain may appear if using the Oximeter continuously on the same location for a long time, especially for user with poor microcirculation. It is recommended that the Oximeter should not be applied to the same location for longer than 2 hours. If any abnormal condition is found, please change the position of the Oximeter.
- The light (the infrared light is invisible) emitted from the device is harmful to the eyes. Do not stare at the light.
- The Oximeter is not a treatment device.
- Local laws and regulations must be followed when disposing of the device.
- Keep the Oximeter away from dust, vibration, corrosive substances, explosive materials, high temperature, and moisture.
- The device should be kept out of the reach of children.
- If the oximeter gets wet, please stop using it and do not resume operation until it is dry and checked for correct operation. When it is carried from a cold environment to a warm and humid environment, please do not use it immediately. Allow at least 15 minutes for Oximeter to reach ambient temperature.
- DO NOT operate the button on the front panel with sharp materials or sharp points.
- DO NOT use high temperature or high-pressure steam disinfection on the Oximeter. Refer to Chapter 8 for instructions regarding cleaning and disinfection.

Overview
1.1 Intended Use
This Fingertip Oximeter is intended for measuring the pulse rate and
functional oxygen saturation (SpO2) through a user’s finger. It is intended
for sports or aviation use only. It should not be used to diagnose or treat
any medical condition.

Battery Installation
- Refer to Figure 2, insert two AAA size batteries into the battery compartment properly, and note the polarity markings.
- Replace the cover.
Attentions:
- Make sure that the batteries are correctly installed. Incorrect installation may cause the device not to work.
- Remove batteries if the device is not being used for more than 7 days to prevent and avoid potential damage from the battery leaking. Any such damage is not covered under the product warranty.
Start/Stop Measuring
-
Open the clip and put your finger inside the clip (make sure the finger is in the correct position), and then release the clip.
-
Wait for 2 seconds, the oximeter will power on and start to measure.
-
The display screen shows the measurement.
-
Get the finger out, and the device will automatically power off.
Attentions for measuring:
- Do not shake the finger and relax during measurement.
- Do not put a wet finger directly into the sensor.
- Avoid placing the device on the same limb which is wrapped with a cuff for blood pressure measurement or during venous infusion.
- Do not let anything block the emitting light from the device, i.e. do not use fingernail polish/paints.
- The existence of high intensive light sources, such as fluorescence light, ruby lamb, infrared heater, or strong sunshine, etc. may cause inaccuracy in measurement results. Please put an opaque cover on the sensor or change the measuring site if necessary.
- Vigorous exercise and electrosurgical device interference may affect the measuring accuracy.
- Nail polish may affect the measuring accuracy, and too long fingernails may cause the failure of measurement or inaccurate results.
- 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.
- If the measurements are over the limits, there is a reminder sound. You can press the Display key to mute it, or wait for 10 seconds till the sound disappears by itself.

Menu Setup
During measuring, the long-pressing Display key can enter the setup menu screen.
Menu operating procedures:
- Shortly press Display Key to choose the setting item;
- Long press Display Key to active the setting item, then shortly press it to modify the setting parameter;
- Long press Display Key to confirm the modification and exit from this setting item.
- Move the setting item to “Exit”, and long-press Display Key to store the modification and exit from the setup menu.
“Beep”: Pulse beep option. If it is set to on, every pulse beat makes a
beep.
“Mode”: Set the measuring mode. “Continuous” and “Spot check” for
optional, the default is “Spot check”.
Spot check mode: the measuring time lasts 30 seconds with a counting-down
indication. The SpO2 and PR readings will freeze at the end of 30 seconds, the
analysis result for the pulse rhythm will be displayed on the screen as well.
Continuous mode: measurement will start automatically when the finger is
inserted into the oximeter, SpO2 and PR readings will be displayed until the
finger is removed from the oximeter.
Record List
- A single group of stable readings will be recorded in the record list each time when the oximeter shuts down regardless of spot-check or continuous mode. However, if the time from displaying valid readings to the end of measurement is less than 5 seconds, then no recording will be done.
- Up to 12 groups of records can be stored in the record list, the newest record is marked as M1, and the oldest record is marked as M12. The new record will override the previous record.
- When batteries are removed from the device all readings will be deleted.
- On power off status, long-pressing the Display key shows the record list screen. On the record list screen, a short pressing on the Display key can shift the records display, and if there is no key operation for 6 seconds, then the oximeter will power off automatically again.

Portable and mobile RF communications equipment should be used no closer to
any part of The Fingertip Oximeter, including cables, than the recommended
separation distance calculated from the equation applicable to the frequency
of the transmitter.
Recommended separation distance
d=1.2 P d=1.2 P 80MHz to 800MHz d=2.3 P 800MHz to 2.5GHz
Where P is the maximum output power rating of the transmitter in watts (W)
according to the transmitter manufacturer and d is the recommended
separation distance in meters (m). b 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 following 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 150 kHz to 80 MHz, field strengths should be less than 3V/m.

Recommended separation distances between portable and mobile RF
communication the equipment
The Fingertip Oximeter is intended for use in an electromagnetic environment
in which radiated RF disturbances are controlled. The customer or the user of
The
Fingertip Oximeter can help prevent electromagnetic interference by
maintaining a minimum distance between portable and mobile RF communications
equipment (transmitters) and the Fingertip Oximeter as recommended below,
according to the maximum output power of the communications equipment.
The rated maximum output power of
transmitter W(Watts)| Separation distance according to the frequency

For transmitters rated at a maximum output power not listed above, the
recommended separation distance in meters (m) can be determined using the
equation applicable to the frequency of the transmitter, where P is the
maximum output power rating of the transmitter in watts (W) according to the
transmitter manufacturer.
