Operation Instruction
WARNINGS
- Do not use the oximeter in an MRI or CT environment.
- The oximeter is not intended for use in the diagnosis or screening of any symptoms or diseases. The data measured is for reference only. Do not base a conclusive diagnosis on the results of a single test. A physician or healthcare provider should make a diagnosis after all other clinical and laboratory findings are evaluated.
- If trauma, disabilities or other medical conditions are likely to affect results, a physician should be consulted before use.
- To obtain an accurate SpO2 measurement, the oximeter must be able to measure the pulse properly. Any objects such as blood pressure cuffs must be removed as they will affect results. Federal law (USA) restricts the sale of this device to physicians only.
- Keep the batteries out of reach of small unsupervised children. The batteries detached from the device may cause choking.
- The device may only be used indoors.
- The use of the device is not recommended for long periods.
CAUTIONS
- The oximeter is not an apnea monitor.
- The oximeter determines the percentage of arterial oxygen saturation of functional hemoglobin. Significant levels of dysfunctional hemoglobin such as carbonxyhemo globin or methemoglobin may affect the accuracy of the measurement.
- Cardio green and intravascular dyes, depending on the concentration, may affect the accuracy of SpO2 measurements.
- The performance of the oximeter might be affected by the presence of a defibrillator.
- The oximeter may not work on all users. Refrain from use if unstable readings are obtained.
- The oximeter has motion-tolerant software which distinguishes between movement and pulse. In some circumstances, however, the oximeter may still interpret the movement as good pulse quality. Therefore, it is recommended to minimize movement as much as possible.
- Do not use caustic or abrasive cleaning agents on the oximeter or probes.
- Do not use new and old batteries together as it may cause leaks. Dispose of batteries properly.
- Batteries might leak chemicals if unused for a long period of time. Remove the batteries if the oximeter is expected to be stored for more than one month.
- The oximeter is an electronic instrument and must be repaired by trained personnel only.
- Follow local government waste regulations to dispose of or recycle the device and device components accordingly.
- Always store the oximeter in a cool and dry place: temperatures between -25°C to 70°C (-13°F to 158°F) relative humidity less than 95%. Avoid direct sunlight.
INTRODUCTION
Intended Use
The Fingertip Pulse Oximeter measures the oxygen saturation of arterial blood
by sensing and recording capillary pulsations. It is intended for adult
patients weighing more than 40 kg.
This device is intended for non-invasive spot-checking.
Principle of Measurement
The Fingertip Pulse Oximeter determines functional oxygen saturation of
arterial hemoglobin (SpO2) by measuring the absorption of red and infrared
light which passes through perfused tissue. Changes in absorption caused by
the pulsation of blood in the vascular bed are used to determine oxygen
saturation and pulse rate.
