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.
Use AAA alkaline batteries. Do not use carbon or poor quality batteries. Remove the batteries if the pulse oximeter hasn’t been used for a long time.
A functional tester can’t be used to assess the accuracy.
If the patient is the intended operator, the patient must read the operation manual carefully or consult with a doctor and/or manufacturer before usage. If there’s any discomfort while using the pulse oximeter, stop usage immediately and go to the hospital.
To avoid any static electricity damage to the pulse oximeter, direct or indirect static electricity should be discharged before usage.
Try to keep the pulse oximeter away from any radio receivers when it’s in use.
If the pulse oximeter uses with configuration which does not pass EMC test, it can enhance electromagnetic radiation or reduce anti-electromagnet interference performance. Please use the specified configuration.
The pulse oximeter should not be in close proximity (or stacked) with other devices. If that’s not possible, it should be observed and verified that the oximeter can run normally with the close proximity/stacked configuration.
There should be no dirt or wound on the tested surface (i.e. finger).
Federal law restricts this device to sale by the order of a physician.

Display Introduction

Battery Installation

Hold the product in one hand with the display panel facing the palm. Press down and slide in the direction of the arrow. The battery compartment is opened. (Figure 2).
Install batteries into the slots according to the “+” and “-” symbols as shown. (Figure 3). Replace the lid onto the battery compartment and push upwards to close it.

The positive and negative ends of batteries must be installed correctly, otherwise the device may be damaged.
When installing or removing batteries, please follow the correct operation procedure, otherwise the battery compartment may be damaged.

Lanyard Installation

Thread the thinner end of the lanyard through the lanyard hole. The position of the lanyard hole is shown in (Figure 4). (Notice: the lanyard hole is on both sides.)
Thread the thicker end of the lanyard through the thinner end of the lanyard. Then, pull the thicker end of the lanyard until it’s tight.

Directions for Use

After properly installing two AAA batteries, “Press to Open Device” as shown in (Figure 5), and open the clip. Insert the teste’s finger. Put finger into the rubber cushions of the clip. Make sure the finger is in the right position as shown in (Figure 5), then release the clip.
Wait for a few moments, the SpO2 value and PR value will be displayed on the LED screen after plethysmography wave and measured values are stable, as shown in (Figure 6).

Be sure to place the teste’s finger inside the product in the correct orientation. The LED part of the sensor should be at the backside of the teste’s hand. Be sure to insert the finger deep enough into the sensor so that the fingernail is opposite to the light emitted from the sensor.
Don’t move the finger and remain motionless during the process.
Data will appear in less than 30 seconds.

NOTE

Check the pulse oximeter for damage before use. If it’s damaged, don’t use it.
Don’t put the pulse oximeter on extremities with arterial catheter or venous syringe.
Don’t perform SpO2 and NIBP measurements on the same arm simultaneously. Obstruction of blood flow during NIBP measurements may adversely affect the reading of the SpO2 value.
Don’t use the pulse oximeter to measure patients whose pulse rates are lower than 30bpm (this may cause incorrect results).
The well perfusion of measuring instrument should fully cover the test window of the sensor. Clean and dry the measurement part before storing the pulse oximeter.
Cover the sensor with opaque material under strong light. Otherwise, the light can cause inaccurate measurements.
Make sure that there is no contamination or scarring on the tested finger. Otherwise, the results may be incorrect.
The product is prone to cross-contamination when used on different patients. Disinfection is recommended before using the product on other patients.
Incorrect placement of the sensor may affect the accuracy of the measurements. The same horizontal position with heart should be chosen to achieve the best measurements.
The highest temperature of usage should not exceed 41°C.
Change sensor location and check skin integrity and circulatory status at least every 2 hours.

Factors Affecting Measurement Accuracy

The measurements depend on absorption of special wavelength ray by oxidized hemoglobin and deoxyhemoglobin. The concentration of non-functional hemoglobin may affect the accuracy of the measurement.
Shock, anemia, hypothermia, and vasoconstrictive drugs may decrease arterial blood flow to an unmeasurable level.
Pigments or deep colors (i.e. nail polish, artificial nails, dyes, or pigmented cream) may cause inaccurate measurements.
