- DO NOT operate keys on front panel with sharp materials.
- High temperature or high pressure steam disinfection of the oximeter is not permitted. Refer to User Manual in the relative chapter for instructions on cleaning and disinfection.
- Do not have the oximeter immerged in liquid. When it needs cleaning, please wipe its surface with medical alcohol on soft material. Do not spray any liquid on the device directly.
- When cleaning the device with water, the temperature should be lower than 60ºC.
- As to the fingers which are too thin or too cold, it would probably affect the normal measure of the patients’ SpO2 and pulse rate. Please clip a thick finger such as thumb and middle finger deeply
enough into the probe. - Do not use the device on infants or neonatal patients.

- The device may not work for all patients. If you are unable to achieve stable readings, discontinue use.
- The update period of data is less than 5 seconds, which is changeable according to different individual pulse rate.
- The waveform is normalized. Please read the measured value when the waveform on screen is equably and steady-going. This measured value is optimal value and the waveform at the moment
is the standard one. - If some abnormal conditions appear on the screen during the test process, pull out the finger and
reinsert to restore normal use. - The device has a normal life span of three years since the first electrified use.
- The hanging rope attached the product is made from non- allergy material. If particular groups are sensitive to the hanging rope, stop using it. In addition, pay attention to the use of the hanging rope.
Do not wear it around the neck to avoiding cause harm to the patient. - The instrument does not have a low-voltage alarm function. It only shows the low-voltage. Please change the battery when the battery energy is used up. When the parameter is specific, the instrument does not have an alarm function. Do not use the device in situations where alarms are required.

- A flexible circuit connects the two parts of the device. Do not twist or pull on the connection.
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. The Pulse Oximeter features small size, low power consumption, convenient operation, and portability. It is only necessary for patients to put one of their fingers into a fingertip photoelectric sensor for diagnosis, and a display screen will directly show the measured value of Hemoglobin Saturation.
Classification:
Class II b, (MDD93/42/EEC IX Rule 10)
Features
- Operation of the product is simple and convenient.
- The product is small in size, light in weight (total weight is about 50g including batteries) and convenient to carry.
- Power consumption of the product is low and the two originally equipped AAA batteries can be operated continuously for 20 hours.
- The product will automatically be powered off when no signal is detected by the product within 5 seconds.
Major Applications and Scope of Application
The Pulse Oximeter can be used to measure human Hemoglobin Saturation and pulse rate through the 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 oxygen saturation 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 is caused by carbon monoxide. The device is not recommended to be used under this
circumstance
Environment Requirement
Storage Environment
- Temperature: -40ºC~+60Cº
- Relative humidity: ≤95%
- Atmospheric pressure: 500hPa~1060hPa
Operating Environment
- Temperature: 10ºC~40ºC
- Relative Humidity: ≤75%
- Atmospheric pressure: 700hPa~1060hPa
Principle of Measurement
Principle of the Oximeter is as follows: An experience formula of data processing 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 the human nail tip through a perspective clamp finger-type sensor. Then a measured signal can be obtained by a photosensitive element, information acquired through this will be shown on screen through processing in electronic circuits and a microprocessor.
Caution
- The finger should be placed properly in the device (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, etc.
- Strenuous action of the subject or extreme electrosurgical interference may also affect the accuracy.
- Testee cannot use enamel or other makeup.
Clinical Restrictions
- As the measurement is taken on the basis of arteriole pulse, substantial pulsating blood flow of the 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.
- For those with a substantial amount of staining dilution drug (such as methylene blue, indigo green, and acid indigo blue), carbon monoxide hemoglobin (COHb), methionine (Me+Hb), or thiosalicylic hemoglobin, and some with icterus problem, the SpO2 determination by this monitor may be inaccurate.
- The drugs like dopamine, procaine, prilocaine, lidocaine, and butacaine may also be a major factor blamed for serious error of SpO2 measurement.
- As the SpO2 value serves as a reference value for judgment of anemic anoxia and toxic anoxia, some patients with serious anemia may also report good SpO2 measurement.
