WARNINGS
● Do not use the oximeter in an MRI or CT
environment.
● The oximeter is not intended for use in the
diagnosis or screening of any symptoms or
diseases. The data measured is for reference
only, do not base a definitive diagnosis on the
results of a single test. A physician or
healthcare provider should make a diagnosis
after all other clinical and laboratory findings
are evaluated.
● If subjects' monitoring sites have trauma,
disability or other medical status that make
inaccurate results, operators should consult
doctors before use.
● The oximeter has to measure the pulse
properly to obtain an accurate SpO
measurement. Blood flow restrictors (e.g.,
blood pressure cuffs) may hinder pulse
measurements. Remove any objects that
may hinder the performance of the oximeter.
● Rx only.
● Keep the batteries out of the reach of children.
The batteries from the device may result in
a choking hazard for children if swallowed or
inhaled.
● The device is only intended to be used in an
indoor environment.
● Wireless communication equipment can affect
the functionality of the device and should be
kept away from the equipment.
CAUTIONS
● The oximeter determines the percentage
of arterial oxygen saturation of functional
hemoglobin. Significant levels of dysfunctional
hemoglobin such as carboxyhemoglobin or
methemoglobin may affect the accuracy of the
measurement.
● Cardio green and intravascular dyes, depending
on the concentration, may affect the accuracy
of SpO
● The performance of the oximeter might be
affected by the presence of a defibrillator.
● The oximeter may not work on all subjects.
If you are unable to achieve stable readings,
discontinue use.
● Do not use caustic or abrasive cleaning agents
on the oximeter or probes.
2
● Do not mix new and old batteries at the same
time. It may cause the batteries to leak.
Dispose of batteries properly.
● Batteries might leak chemicals if unused for a
long period of time. Remove the batteries if the
oximeter is going to be stored for more than
one month.
● The oximeter is a precision electronic
instrument and must be repaired by trained
personnel only.
● Follow local governing ordinances and recycling
instructions when disposing or recycling the
device and its components.
● Always store the oximeter in a cool and dry
place: temperature range of -13°F to 158°F
(-25°C to 70°C) at relative humidity less than
95%. Avoid direct sunlight.
