Chapter 12 SpO2 Measurement Function
(This chapter is only suitable for European Union market)
Precautions during SpO2 Measurement
Note
- Make sure the nail covers the light. The probe cable should be on the backside of the hand. Improper probe placement or improper contact with the test site will influence the measurement.
- SpO2 value always displays in the fixed place.
- The test site shall not use external coloring agent (such as nail polish, dyestuff or color skin care products, etc.), otherwise it will affect the measurement.
- The fingers which are too cold or too thin may affect the measure accuracy, please insert the thicker finger such as thumb or middle finger deeply enough into the probe.
- The SpO2 probe is suitable for children and adults (not suitable for infants and newborns). The device may not applicable for all patients. If you are unable to achieve stable readings, stop using it.
- Data averaging and signal processing will delay the SpO2 displaying and data values transmitting. The update time of measurement data is less than 30 seconds, when signal attenuation, weak perfusion or other interference appears, it will result in time increasing of dynamic data averaging, which depends on the PR value.
- The PLETH waveforms are not normalized, which is used as the indicator for signal incompleteness. So the accuracy of the measured values may decrease when the waveform does not tend to smooth and stable. When the waveform tends to smooth and stable, the reading is optimal value, and the waveform at the moment is the most standard one..
- The temperature for the contact surface of the device with the body is less than 41℃, and this temperature value is measured by a temperature measuring device.
- The device does not provide over-limit alarm function, so it is inapplicable for using in places where need such function.
- The SpO2 probe has been calibrated before leaving factory. It does not need to be calibrated during maintenance.
- SpO2 probe is calibrated to show functional oxygen saturation.
- The SpO2 probe and photoelectric receiving tube should be arranged in a way with the subject’s arteriole in a position there between. Make sure the optical path is free from any optical obstacles like rubberized fabric, to avoid inaccurate measurement.
- As the measure is taken on the basis of arteriole pulse, substantial pulsating blood flow of subject is required. For a subject with weak pulse due to shock, low ambient/body temperature, major bleeding, or use of vascular contracting drug, the SpO2 waveform (PLETH) will decrease. In this case, the measurement will be more sensitive to interference.
- Percentage modulation of infrared signal as the indication of pulsating signal strength, patient simulator has been used to verify its accuracy under conditions of low perfusion. SpO2 and PR values are different due to low signal conditions, compare them with the known SpO2 and PR values of input signal.
- The claim for SpO2 accuracy should be supported by clinical research measurements covering the entire spectrum. By artificially inducing to different stable oxygen levels, make it in the range of 70 % ~ 100 % of SpO2. Use secondary standard SpO2 measuring equipment for comparison to collect SpO2 values together with the tested product, compose paired data groups for accuracy analysis.
- Clinical report records data of 12 healthy volunteers, including 6 females and 6males. Volunteers’ age ranges from 21 to 29. Skin color is distributed from dark to light, including 3 dark black skins, 2 medium black skins, 5 light skins, 2 white skins.
- When using the device, please keep it away from the instruments that can generate strong electric or magnetic field. Use the device in an inappropriate environment may cause interference to the surrounding radio equipment or affect its working.
- If necessary, please log on our company’s official website to download the list of SpO2 probes and extension cords that can be used in conjunction with this device.
Warning
- Check if the cable of SpO2 probe is in normal condition before measuring. After unplugging the SpO2 probe cable from the socket, “SpO2%” and “bmp” on the screen will disappear.
- Do not use the SpO2 probe once the package or the probe is found damaged. Instead, you shall return it to the vendor.
- The supplied SpO2 probe is only suitable for use with this device. This device can only use the SpO2 probe described in this manual. It is the responsibility of the operator to check the compatibility of the device and the SpO2 probe (and extension cable) before use. Incompatible accessories may result in device performance decreasing or cause injury to the patient.
- SpO2 probe is a medical product that can be used repeatedly.
- The measured value may be normal seemingly for the testee who has anemia or dysfunctional hemoglobin (such as carboxyhaemoglobin (COHb), methaemoglobin (MetHb) and sulfhaemoglobin (SuHb)), but the testee may appear hypoxia, it is recommended to perform further assessment according the clinical situations and symptoms.
- Pulse oxygen has only reference significance for anemia and toxic hypoxia, as some patients with severe anemia still show better pulse oxygen measurements.
- Measurement accuracy can be affected by the interference of electrosurgical equipment.
- Do not install the SpO2 probe on an extremity with arterial catheter or receiving intravenous injection.
- Do not perform SpO2 measuring and NIBP measuring on same limb at one time, because obstruction of blood flow during NIBP measuring may adversely affect the reading of SpO2 value.
- Excessive movement (active or passive) of the subject or severe activity can affect the measurement accuracy.
- Excessive ambient light may affect the measuring results, such as surgical light (especially xenon light sources), bilirubin lamp, fluorescent lamp, infrared heater and direct sunlight, etc. In order to prevent interference from ambient light, make sure to place the probe properly and cover the probe with opaque material.
- The measured value may be inaccurate during defibrillation and in a short period after defibrillation, as the SpO2 probe not have defibrillation-proof function.
- The person who is allergic to silicone, PVC, TPU, TPE or ABS can not use this device.
- For some special patients, it should be a more prudent inspecting in the measurement part. The probe can not be clipped on the edema and tender tissue.
- Do not stare at the luminescent component directly when the device is turned on (infrared light is invisible), even if for maintenance purpose, or it may have bad influence to the eyes.
- Uncomfortable or painful feeling may appear if using the SpO2 probe ceaselessly, especially for the microcirculation barrier patients. It is recommended that the measurement should not be taken at the same position for over 2 hours. Continuous, long measurements may increase the risk of unwanted changes in the skin characteristics, such as exceptionally sensitive, reddish, blistering or oppressive necrosis, especially for neonates or the patients with perfusion disorder and change or immature skin form. It should be paid special attention to check the placement position of the probe according to the skin quality change, correct optical alignment and attachment method. Check the attachment position periodically and change it when the skin quality decreases. A more frequent check may be required due to the difference of patient’s state.
- Some models of functional tester or patient simulator can measure the accuracy of the device that reproduces the calibration curve, but it can not be used to evaluate the accuracy of this device.
- Please refer to related medical literature for detailed clinical restrictions and contraindications,
- This device is not used for treatment purpose.
- Do not use the SpO2 probe during MRI and CT scanning, as the induced current may cause burns.
- When the device is ON, if power interrupt for more than 30s, the SpO2 probe needs no operation after the power is restored, after the device is turned on, ensure that the SpO2 probe can be used normally.
- The probe can be used before/after sport, but not recommended to use during exercising.
- Patient simulator has been used to verify the pulse rate accuracy, it is stated as the root-mean-square difference between the PR measurement value and the value set by simulator.
