INTRODUCTION

Please read all instructions carefully prior to first use.
Thank you for purchasing a Premium Pulse Oximeter. With proper care and use, your Premium Pulse Oximeter will provide you with many years of reliable service.
The Premium Pulse Oximeter measures user blood oxygen saturation (SpO2) and pulse rate information for sports and aviation activities in a small, portable, easy-to-use device.
The Premium Pulse Oximeter is intended for use by persons engaging in sporting and aviation activities.
Persons who need SpO2 and pulse rate measurements because of a medical condition should not use the Premium Pulse Oximeter and should consult with their physician.

HOW THE PULSE OXIMETER WORKS

The Premium Pulse Oximeter works by shining two light beams into the small vessels or capillaries of the finger to determine the user’s blood oxygen saturation percentage and pulse rate which is then displayed on the Premium Pulse Oximeter’s screen.
The unit uses the phrase SpO2” to identify the oxygen saturation level and displays it as a percentage of full capacity (100%). Pulse rate is identified by the phrase “PR bpm” and is displayed as beats per minute.

DISPLAY SYMBOLS

When in use, the Pulse Oximeter display reflects a ‘live’ reading of the wearer’s current SpO2 and PR bpm.

DISPLAY MODES

SCREEN DISPLAY ORIENTATION

The Pulse Oximeter display can be adjusted to allow for easy viewing from any angle. While the unit is ON, rotating the finger while the oximeter is on and measuring will automatically change the display orientation, as shown below.

USING YOUR DEVICE—MEASUREMENT

The Premium Pulse Oximeter may be used while the user is seated, standing, or lying down.
The user should not be walking or running during measurements and should take care not to excessively move the arm or hand where the oximeter is attached.
The Premium Pulse Oximeter features the capability of real-time PC monitoring and the ability to download a recorded monitoring session. The included software instruction guide provides instructions for utilizing these features.

PRIOR TO USE

Keeping the sensors clean will help ensure accurate readings. Before and after each use, carefully swab inside the unit with a soft cloth or cotton swab with rubbing alcohol. Do not pour the alcohol directly on or in the unit.
Dirty hands or nail polish (especially dark shades) can also affect reading accuracy. Wash your hands and/or remove any nail polish before use to help ensure accurate readings.

USING YOUR PREMIUM PULSE OXIMETER

Squeeze the hinged end of the unit to open the measurement side of the unit.
Insert your fingernail side up into the unit until resistance is felt. The unit should gently close below the first knuckle of the finger, and the sensors inside the unit should align with the fingernail and pad at the tip of the finger.
- Suitable for use on any finger (excluding the thumb). In our experience, the index or middle finger works best.
Press the power button to turn the unit on. The screen will briefly flash a test display, and then begin the measurement.
Solid dashes (– – –) will appear on the display for a few seconds, then the display will begin to show the oxygen saturation (SpO2) and pulse rate (PR bpm) measurements.
- Take care to not move excessively during monitoring. These are active readings and may fluctuate slightly as you observe the display, responding to your heart rate (bpm) and other factors.
The Premium Pulse Oximeter should only be used for spot-checking blood oxygen saturation and pulse rate and should not remain on the finger for more than a few minutes at a time.
Remove the unit from the finger. The unit will automatically turn off after 5 seconds.
Clean the unit as directed before storage.

USING YOUR DEVICE—ALARM MODES

The Premium Pulse Oximeter features several alarm functions—when the finger is out of position, when the measurement data is outside of the set limits, and when the unit has low voltage (low battery). Alarms are set through the device menu.
NOTE: When navigating through all features in the following settings, pressing and HOLDING the POWER button will enter/change the selected setting; pressing and RELEASING the POWER button will toggle through the available options.

Press and hold the POWER button, and the display will show the ‘Settings’ menu, Fig 1. To toggle within the ‘Settings’ menu, press and release the POWER button until the Alarm setting is selected.
Press and hold the POWER button to enter the Alarm settings menu; the top choice will be Dir, Fig 2. Dir — Direction; allows the user to set maximum and minimum settings for SpO2 and Pulse Rate wherein the alarm will sound if the results of the ongoing measurement fall above or below the set parameters.
- Psound — Pulse Sound/Tone; only set as ON or OFF, when ON the oximeter will sound a tone with every heartbeat as it reads the user’s pulse. i.e. beep-beep-beep-beep.
- Alarm — Indicates whether the alarm function is ON or OFF; all functions–Finger Out, Reading Thresholds, and Low Battery–are ON when this setting is selected as ON, Fig 3.
Toggle the triangle cursor to Dir, press and hold to enter the reading thresholds options.
Press and hold the POWER button to enter the SPO2 setting.
- Within this setting, you may select a High and Low point for the SPO2 measurement.
- Dir down, numbers will go down as you set the digits; Dir up, numbers will go up as you set the digits. Press and hold the power button to select the desired setting.
- Press and release the power button to address each option–High, Low. Toggle to Exit, then press and hold to exit the SPO2 menu.
- Repeat the same steps to set the desired alarm threshold for the Pulse Rate (PR) measurement.

When the ALARM function is ON, the unit will beep continuously if the measurements are out of the specified range.

USING YOUR DEVICE—RECORDING

The Premium Pulse Oximeter allows for one recording session of up to 24 hours. This recording session can be viewed and saved with the included Pulse Oximeter Tracking Software.

Press and hold the POWER button, and the display will show the ‘Settings’ menu, Fig 1. To toggle within the ‘Settings’ menu, press and release the POWER button until the Record setting is selected, Fig 1.
Press and hold the POWER button to toggle between OFF and ON, Fig 2; selecting ON will immediately start the measurement recording.
When the device is recording, a small circle will appear in the upper corner of the display screen, Fig 3.
When recording continuously for an extended period without touching the POWER button or removing the finger from the device, the unit will go into ‘sleep’ mode, and only the small circle will blink on the display.
To turn off the Record option, enter the Settings and set the Record function to off.
- NOTE: This device will only record a single measurement session; the next recording session will override the previous session.

QUICK-RELEASE LANYARD

The lanyard features a quick-release clip for easy release while in use.
CHOKING HAZARD- The included lanyard may present an entanglement or choking hazard to small children.
Adult supervision is required; never leave children unattended with a unit or lanyard.

CARE AND MAINTENANCE

Before and after each use, carefully swab inside the unit with a soft cloth or cotton swab with rubbing alcohol. Do not pour the alcohol directly on or into the unit.
The unit should be stored in a dry environment, within the ideal temperature range of -40°F–140°F(-40°C–60°C).
