Intended use

The Advantage™ 2200 is intended to measure blood oxygen saturation (%SpO2) – the amount of
oxygen in your blood - and pulse rate. It is designed for use on fingers (not the thumb) with a thick-
ness of .31" to .79" (8mm to 20mm), this is the distance between the fingernail (top) and finger pad
(bottom). The index finger is most recommended. This device is intended for sport and aviation pur-
poses only.
Contraindications:
• The patient suffers from significant levels of dysfunctional hemoglobins (such as carbonxy-he-
moglobin or methemoglobin).
• Intravascular dyes such as indocyanine green or methylene blue have been injected into the
patient.
• Used in the presence of high ambient light (ie, direct sunlight). Shield the sensor area with a
surgical towel if necessary.
• There is excessive patient movement.
• The patient experiences venous pulsations.
• The patient has hypotension, severe vasoconstriction, severe anemia, or hypothermia.
• The patient is in cardiac arrest or is in shock.
• Patients have fingernail polish or false fingernails as they may cause inaccurate SpO2 read-
ings.
