Aluratek ABPM02F Home Health Digital Pulse Oximeter User Manual
Product Description
Pulse Oximeter is an important and common device to check oxygen saturation (SpO2) and pulse rate. It’s a small, compact, simple, reliable and durable physiological monitoring device. It contains the mainboard, OLED display and dry batteries.
Intended Use
The pulse oximeter is a reusable device and it’s intended for intermittent checks of oxygen saturation and pulse rate for adults in a clinical environment. This medical device is not intended for continuous monitoring.
Applicable People and Scope
The pulse oximeter is intended for monitoring adults. It is used in clinic settings, outpatient department and sickrooms. It can also be used in the recovery and health care organizations, and the community medical treatments.
Contraindications
The pulse oximeter only applies to adults. It is not suitable for injured skin tissue.
Measurement Principle
Arterial oxygen saturation is measured via a method which is called oximetry. It is a continuous, non-invasive method based on the different spectra absorption of hemoglobin and oxyhemoglobin (called spectrophotometer principle).
An experience formula of data process is established betaking use of Lambert Beer Law, and according to Spectrum Absorption Characteristics of hemoglobin (Hob) and Oxyhemoglobin (HbO2) in glow and near-infrared zones. The operation principle of the instrument is Photoelectric Oxyhemoglobin Inspection Technology. Two beams of different wavelength of lights (666nm visible red light and 905nm near infrared light) can be focused on human nail tip via emitters by adopting the Capacity Pulse Scanning and Recording Technology. Then measured signal will be obtained via a photosensitive element. The amount of light absorbed is related to the amount of oxygen in the blood during these pulses. The ratio of the two absorbed spectrums can be calculated via the microprocessor and the results are compared with the saturation valuing the memory, so the blood oxygen saturation value is obtained.
Safety Information
- Anyone who uses the pulse oximeter must receive adequate training before use.
- The pulse oximeter is only meant to assess patients’ physiological conditions. It must be used in conjunction with clinical symptoms. It is not intended for treatment.
- When using the pulse oximetric conjunction with the electrical surgery equipment, the user should ensure safety of the patient.
- EXPLOSION HAZARD: Do not use the pulse oximeter in the presence of flammable anesthetics, explosive substances, vapors or liquids.
- It is forbidden to use the pulse oximeter in MRI (magnetic resonance imaging) scanning or CT (Computed Tomography) because the induced current could cause potential burning.
- The pulse oximeter does not include an alarm function. Therefore, continuous monitoring for long periods of time is not suitable.
- Modification of the pulse oximeter is not allowed. Any product maintenance should be done by manufacturer-approved, professional maintenance personnel.
- Please shut off the power before cleaning the pulse oximeter. Disinfecting the pulse oximeter via high-pressure and high-temperature methods is prohibited. Any cleaning agents/disinfectants other than recommended ones listed in the operation manual are not allowed for use.
- The pulse oximeter is not waterproof. Keep its surface dry and clean and prevent any liquid from infiltrating the product.
- The pulse oximeter is fragile and requires precision to function properly. Avoid any pressure, jostling, strong vibrations, or other potential mechanical damage. Hold it carefully and lightly. If it is not in use, the pulse oximeter should be appropriately stored.
- Do not dispose the pulse oximeter randomly. Disposal procedure should follow local regulations or hospital policy regarding disposal of the pulse oximeter and accessories.
