Measurement Principle
Principle of the oximeter is as follows: A mathematical formula is established making use of Lambert Beer Law according to
Spectrum Absorption Characteristics of Reductive hemoglobin (RHb) and Oxyhemoglobin (HbO
Operation principle of the instrument: Photoelectric Oxyhemoglobin Inspection Technology is adopted in accordance with Capacity
Pulse Scanning and Recording Technology, so that two beams of different wavelength of lights (660nm red and 940nm near
infrared light) can be focused onto a human nail tip through a clamping finger-type sensor. A measured signal obtained by a
photosensitive element, will be shown on the oximeter's display through process in electronic circuits and microprocessor.

Precautions For Use
1 Before use, carefully read the manual.
2 Check the main unit and all accessories periodically to make sure that there is no visible damage that may affect
user's safety and monitoring performance. It is recommended that the device should be inspected once a week.
3 The fingertip pulse oximeter must be able to measure the pulse properly to obtain an accurate SpO2 measurement. Verify
that nothing is hindering the pulse measurement before relying on the SpO2 measurement.
4 Keep the oximeter away from dust, vibration, corrosive substances, explosive materials, high temperature and moisture.
5 Do not use the fingertip pulse oximeter in an explosive atmosphere.
6 Not intended for Continuous monitoring
7 The fingertip pulse oximeter is intended only for sports and aviation monitoring
8 Do not sterilize the device using autoclaving, ethylene oxide sterilizing, or immersing the device in liquid. The device is not
intended for sterilization.
9 Follow local ordinances and recycling instructions regarding disposal or recycling of the device and device components,
including batteries.
10 This equipment complies with IEC 60601-1-2:2007 for electromagnetic compatibility for electrical equipment and/ or
systems. However, because of the proliferation of radio-frequency transmitting equipment and other sources of electrical

4 High-frequency interference.
5 Poor blood perfusion.
6 Placement of a sensor on an extremity with a blood pressure cuff.
7 Fingernail polish or false fingernails.
8 Weak pulse quality.
9 Low hemoglobin.

Intended Use
Fingertip pulse oximeter is a portable non-invasive device intended for spot-checking of oxygen saturation of arterial hemoglob
(SpO2) and pulse rate of adult and pediatric users in sports and aviation.
Operation Instructions
1 Install two AAA batteries according to the Battery Installation instructions.
2 Place one of your fingers into the rubber opening of the pulse oximeter.
3 Press the switch button one time on front panel to turn the pulse oximeter on.
4 Keep your hands still for the reading. Do not shake your finger during the test. It is recommended
that you do not move your body while taking a reading.
5 Read the data from the display screen.
6 Press the button again to toggle between two display modes.
After turning on the Oximeter, each time you press the power switch, the Oximeter will switch to another display mode.
There are 2 display modes shown as follows:
1.
Holding the power switch for longer than one second, will adjust the brightness of the oximeter. There are 10 levels of brightness.
The default level is level four.

Battery Installation
1. Install two AAA batteries into the battery compartment. Match the plus (+) and minus (-) signs in the compartment. If
the polarities are not matched, damage may be caused to the oximeter.
2. Slide the battery door cover horizontally along the arrow shown as the picture.
Note:
Please remove the batteries if the pulse oximeter will not be used for long periods of time.

 Please replace the battery when the low battery power indicator.
Using the Lanyard
1. Thread thinner end of the lanyard through the loop.
2. Thread thicker end of the lanyard through the threaded end before pulling it tightly.
Warnings!
 Keep the oximeter away from young children. Small items such as the battery door, battery, and lanyard are choking hazards.
Do not hang the lanyard from the device's electrical wire.

 Please notice that the lanyard which is tied to the oximeter may cause strangulation due to excessive length.
Maintenance and Storage
1. Replace the batteries in a timely manner when low voltage lamp is lighted.
2. Clean surface of the fingertip oximeter before it is used in diagnosis for users.
3. Remove the batteries if the oximeter is not operated for a long time.
4. It is best to store the product in -20 ℃～+55℃ and ≤93% humidity .
5. Keep in a dry place. Extreme moisture may affect oximeter lifetime and may cause damage.
6. Dispose of battery properly; follow any applicable local battery disposal laws.
Cleaning the fingertip pulse oximeter
Please use medical alcohol to clean the silicone touching the finger inside of oximeter with a soft cloth dampened with
70% isopropyl alcohol. Also clean the being tested finger using alcohol before and after each test.
Do not pour or spray liquids onto the oximeter, and do not allow any liquid to enter any openings in the device. Allow the oximeter to
dry thoroughly before reuse.
The use life of the device is five years when it is used for 15 measurements every day and 10 minutes per one
measurement. Stop using and contact local service center if one of the following cases occurs:
An error in the Possible Problems and solutions is displayed on screen.

 The oximeter cannot be powered on in any case and not the reasons of battery.
There is a crack on the oximeter or damage on the display resulting readings cannot be identified; the spring is invalid; or

the key is unresponsive or unavailable.

Note: A functional tester cannot be used to assess the accuracy of a pulse oximeter monitor or sensor. Clinical testing is used to
establish the SpO2 accuracy. The measured arterial hemoglobin saturation value (SpO2) of the sensors is compared to arterial
hemoglobin oxygen (SaO2) value, determined from blood samples with a laboratory CO-oximeter. The accuracy of the sensors in
comparison to the CO-oximeter samples measured over the SpO2 range of 70%~100%. Accuracy data is calculated using the
root-mean-squared (Arms value) for all subjects, per ISO 9919:2005, Medical Electrical Equipment – Particular requirements for the
basic safety and essential performance of pulse oximeter.
A functional tester is used to measure how accurately Fingertip Pulse Oximeter is reproducing the specified calibration curve
and the PR accuracy.
The model of functional tester is Index2 FLUKE simulator and the version is 2.1.3.
