Chapter 1: Introduction WARNING! Do not use this device in the presence of magnetic resonance imaging (MR or MRI) equipment. WARNING! This device is intended for use by persons trained in professional health care or those who have access to the oversight of a professional health care provider. The operator must be thoroughly familiar with the information in this manual and/or the “Home User’s Guide”...

Chapter 1: Introduction WARNING! Tissue damage may result from overexposure to sensor light during photodynamic therapy with agents such as verteporphin, porfimer sodium, and metatetrahydroxyphenylchlorin (mTHPC). Change the sensor site at least every hour and observe for signs of tissue damage. More frequent sensor site changes/inspections may be indicated depending upon the photodynamic agent used, agent dose, skin condition, total exposure time or other factors.
Chapter 1: Introduction Cautions CAUTION! Do not autoclave, ethylene oxide sterilize, or immerse the sensors in liquid. Evidence that liquid has been allowed to enter the monitor voids the warranty. CAUTION! Connect only the PC cable specifically intended for use with this device (see Optional Supplies and Accessories).
Chapter 2: Intended Use and Monitor Features Chapter 2: Intended Use and Monitor Features Intended Use This device is a handheld pulse oximeter that measures SpO , pulse rate, and pulse strength. It may be used as a spot check device in the hospital or clinical environments. Additionally, it may be used to collect long term data in overnight sleep screening studies in the sleep lab or home.
Chapter 2: Intended Use and Monitor Features Theory of Operation The pulse oximeter determines %SpO and pulse rate by passing two wavelengths of low intensity light, one red and one infrared, through body tissue to a photodetector. Information about wavelength range can be especially useful to clinicians. Wavelength information for this device can be found in the SpO Specifications section of this manual.

The serial printer or PC communication cable is also connected here. Numeric Display A number shows the patient’s SpO value in percent.
Chapter 3: Controls and Features Monitor Operating keys %SpO2 B P M Figure 3.2: Monitor Operating Keys ON OFF key Pressing this key turns the monitor ON and OFF. PRINT key • Verification Mode: In this mode, momentarily pressing the key will not activate the printer as the printer function is suppressed in this mode.
Chapter 4: Operating Instructions Chapter 4: Operating Instructions WARNING! This device must be used in conjunction with clinical signs and symptoms. This device is only intended to be an adjunct in patient assessment. Unpacking the Monitor Carefully remove the monitor and its accessories from the shipping carton. Save the packing materials in case the monitor must be shipped or stored.
Chapter 4: Operating Instructions Attaching the Sensor to the Patient WARNING! Prolonged use or the patient’s condition may require changing the sensor site periodically. Patients setting up the device at home should be instructed of the signs/symptoms of sensor misuse (e.g., pressure sores from prolonged application) and should be advised to move the sensor to another finger if necessary.
Chapter 4: Operating Instructions Care and Handling of the Sensor WARNING! Misuse or improper handling of the sensor and cable could result in damage to the sensor. This may cause inaccurate readings. Hold the connector rather than the cable when connecting or disconnecting the sensor to the device as shown in Figure 4.2.
Chapter 4: Operating Instructions Checking the Sensor and Oximetry Cable Follow these instructions each time before you attach the sensor to the patient. This helps ensure the sensor and oximetry cable is working properly. WARNING! Using a damaged sensor may cause inaccurate readings. Inspect each sensor. If a sensor appears damaged, do not use it.
Chapter 4: Operating Instructions %SpO2 Low Battery Patient’s SpO Indicator Pulse Rate Pulse Strength B P M Figure 4.4: SpO , pulse rate, and pulse strength bar graph. Turning On the Monitor To turn on the monitor, press the key. WARNING! Verify that all LEDs (light emitting diodes) on the display light up upon startup of the device.
Chapter 4: Operating Instructions Turning Off the Monitor Turn off the monitor when you are not monitoring a patient. To turn off the monitor, press the key. To turn off the monitor in the Data Collection Mode, key must be pressed and held for 6 seconds. NOTE! Once the monitor is powered off in the Data Collection Mode, it cannot resume collection of trend data without clearing all previously obtained data.
Chapter 4: Operating Instructions Verification Mode Verification Mode is intended for use in spot checking and for verifying that the user has correct placement of the finger sensor. The monitor will enter the Verification Mode as soon as trend memory is cleared. In this mode the patient will be able to position the sensor on his/her finger (or appropriate site) and obtain SpO and heart rate data on the display.
Chapter 4: Operating Instructions Data Collection Mode Data Collection Mode is intended for use in long-term collection of data in sleep screening environments. The Data Collection Mode will be entered when the verification timer reaches 10 minutes. Once the trend data collection process has been started, trend memory will be filled continuously until the end-of-memory is detected (approx.
Chapter 4: Operating Instructions Trend Printing Mode The Trend Printing Mode is intended for use in the output of the trend data summation to the built-in printer or to a PC for a full computer data download. The Trend Printing Mode is entered after the monitor is powered down in the Data Collection Mode, and powered back up, or when the trend memory becomes full.
