GENERAL INFORMATION Dear customer, Thank you for purchasing a new Pulse Oximeter BSM 382 and for your trust in our products. To ensure proper functioning and performance of your pulse oximeter, please read the operating manual prior to using your device for the first time.
ATTENTION: It is dangerous for users to carry out self-diagnosis and self-treatment based on the measurements determined with this Pulse Oximeter BSM 382. This may lead to the aggravation of diseases. This device can under no circumstances replace proper medical consultation...
GENERAL INFORMATION 2.0 Application and function 2.1 Application and operational principles The Pulse Oximeter BSM 382 is a portable measuring device for easy, uncomplicated and precise measurements of arterial oxygen saturation as well as pulse rate and pulse intensity (display as bar and wave chart) at any time. The device features an adjustable acoustic and visual alarm function.
GENERAL INFORMATION Principle of operation: The Pulse Oximeter BSM 382 carries out two measurements: Firstly, the blood oxygen saturation and secondly, the pulse rate in the finger tip. Additionally, the pulse intensity is displayed as bar graph or wave diagram (plethysmograph).
GENERAL INFORMATION 2.3 Explanation of measurements For healthy people, a normal blood oxygen saturation level of between 92 - 98 % is measured. Diseases or conditions leading to blood oxygen saturation levels that are too low include: Pulmonary emphysema • •...
GENERAL INFORMATION 2.4 Intended use The Pulse Oximeter BSM 382 is exclusively to be used according to its intended use: measurement of arterial oxygen saturation and pulse rate and intensity on a human finger. The device is not intended for long-term monitoring of patients!

GETTING STARTED 7.3 Lanyard attachment Guide the thin black section of the lanyard through the opening in the device housing. Open the latch of the thin black lanyard and guide the light grey lanyard and the clip lock through to create a loop. Tighten this loop until the lanyard is securely attached to the bar at the housing (refer to fig.
APPLICATION 8.0 Device operation Step 1: Open the device like a clothes peg, insert a finger completely into the opening (refer to fig. 4) and close the device by releasing the back. The device is now securely attached to the finger. NOTE: Please note that the finger must be inserted with the finger nail facing upwards (towards the display side)!
APPLICATION Step 3: To complete the measurement, remove the device from the finger by pushing on the peg ends. After approx. 15 seconds, the device is switched off automatically. The device can also be switched off manually by pressing the ON/OFF button for approx.
APPLICATION 8.2 Activation/deactivation of the alarm function If the alarm function is activated, an acoustic or visual alarm is triggered if the values go above or below adjustable upper or lower limits. To activate this, switch on the device and hold down the M configuration button until the Settings/Alm Setup mode is displayed and release the button .
APPLICATION 8.3 Activation/deactivation of the acoustic function If the acoustic function is activated, the pulse rate is not only displayed visually but also indicated acoustically by an acoustic signal which emits at the pulse rate. To activate it, switch on the device and hold down the M configuration button until the Settings/Alm Setup mode is...

APPLICATION the button until the measurements are displayed again. The selected settings are now saved. RESET function: Deleting settings If OK is displayed in the Settings/Alm Setup menu next to the Restore entry, all settings in the Settings/Alm Setup and the Settings/Sound Setup menus correspond to the factory settings (refer to page 46).
APPLICATION 8.4 SpO2 alarm settings (oxygen saturation) The Settings/Sound Setup menu allows you to set the blood oxygen saturation limit values in % at which acoustic (acoustic signal) and visual alarms (blinking of the measurement) are triggered. In the range of 50 % - 100 %, a lower and an upper limit can be set.
