1.4 Indication for Use

The Fingertip Pulse Oximeter is a non-invasive device intended for the spot-check of oxygen saturation of arterial hemoglobin (SpO2) and the pulse rate of adult and pediatric patients in home and hospital environments (including clinical use in internist/surgery, anesthesia, intensive care ect.). This device is not intended for continuous monitoring.

2 Overview

The pulse oxygen saturation is the percentage of HbO2 in the total Hb in the blood, so-called the O2 concentration in the blood. It is an important bio-parameter for the respiration. For the purpose of measuring the SpO2 more easily and accurately, our company developed the Pulse Oximeter. At the same time, the device can measure the pulse rate simultaneously.The Pulse Oximeter features in small volume, low power consumption, convenient operation and being portable. It is only necessary for patient to put one of his fingers into a fingertip photoelectric sensor for diagnosis, and a display screen will directly show measured value of Hemoglobin Saturation.

2.1 Features

Operation of the product is simple and convenient.
The product is small in volume, light in weight (total weight is about 50g including batteries) and convenient in carrying.
Power consumption of the product is low and the two originally equipped AAA batteries can be operated continuously for 20 hours.
The product will enter standby mode when no signal is in the product within 5 seconds.
Display direction can be changed automatically,easy to view.

2.2 Major Applications and Scope of Application

The Pulse Oximeter can be used to measure human Hemoglobin Saturation and pulse rate through finger, and indicate the pulse intensity by the bar-display. The product is suitable for use in family, hospital (Ordinary sickroom), Oxygen Bar, social medical organizations and also the measure of saturation oxygen and pulse rate.

The product is not suitable for use in continuous supervision for patients.The problem of overrating would emerge when the patient is suffering from toxicosis which caused by carbon monoxide, the device is not recommended to be used under this circumstance.

8 Repairing and Maintenance

Please change the batteries when the low-voltage displayed on the screen.
Please clean the surface of the device before using. Wipe the device with medical alcohol first, and then let it dry in air or clean it by dry clean fabric.
Using the medical alcohol to disinfect the product after use, prevent from cross infection for next time use.
Please take out the batteries if the oximeter is not in use for a long time.
The best storage environment of the device is – 40ºC to 60ºC ambient temperature and not higher than 95% relative humidity.
Users are advised to calibrate the device termly (or according to the calibrating program of hospital). It also can be performed at the state-appointed agent or just contact us for calibration.

High-pressure sterilization cannot be used on the device. Do not immerse the device in liquid. It is recommended that the device should be kept in a dry environment. Humidity may reduce the useful life of the device, or even damage it.

3 Principle and Caution

3.1 Principle of MeasurementPrinciple of the Oximeter is as follows: An experience formula of data process is established taking use of Lambert Beer Law according to Spectrum Absorption Characteristics of Reductive Hemoglobin (Hb) and Oxyhemoglobin (HbO2) in glow & near-infrared zones. Operation principle of the instrument is: Photoelectric Oxyhemoglobin Inspection Technology is adopted in accordance with Capacity Pulse Scanning & Recording Technology, so that two beams of different wavelength of lights can be focused onto human nail tip through perspective clamp finger-type sensor. Then measured signal can be obtained by a photosensitive element, information acquired through which will be shown on screen through treatment in electronic circuits and microprocessor.

Figure 1 Operating principle

3.2 Caution

The finger should be placed properly (see the attached illustration of this manual, Figure 5), or else it may cause inaccurate measurement.
The SpO2 sensor and photoelectric receiving tube should be arranged in a way with the subject’s arteriole in a position there between.
The SpO2 sensor should not be used at a location or limb tied with arterial canal or blood pressure cuff or receiving intravenous injection.
Make sure the optical path is free from any optical obstacles like rubberized fabric.
Excessive ambient light may affect the measuring result. It includes fluorescent lamp, dual ruby light, infrared heater, direct sunlight and etc.
Strenuous action of the subject or extreme electrosurgical interference may also affect the accuracy.
Testee can not use enamel or other makeup.

3.3 Clinical Restrictions

1. 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.2. For those with a substantial amount of staining dilution drug (such as methylene blue, indigo green and acid indigo blue), or carbon monoxide hemoglobin (COHb), or methionine (Me+Hb) or thiosalicylic hemoglobin, and some with icterus problem, the SpO2 determination by this monitor may be inaccurate.3. The drugs like dopamine, procaine, prilocaine, lidocaine and butacaine may also be a major factor blamed for serious error of SpO2 measure.4. As the SpO2 value serves as a reference value for judgement of anemic anoxia and toxic anoxia, some patients with serious anemia may also report good SpO2 measurement.
