FINGERTIP BLOOD PULSE OXIMETER
Operating Instructions - Product Model: YM201
SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
• Do not attempt to repair. Should damage occur, contact the manufacturer directly.
• For best results, periodically change the oximeter position and switch the finger.
• Not for use on newborn babies.
• Seek medical assistance if the reading exceeds the normal reading range and you are certain the
device has not malfunctioned.
• To avoid harm, do not expose eyes to the light-emitting components.
The following may disrupt the accuracy of the Oximeter:
• Use in a high-frequency environment or around CT machines.
• Used on the same area as a blood pressure cuff, arterial duct, or intravenous injection.
• User suffers from hyper-tension, severe vascular atrophy, severe anemia, or low oxygen.
• User is in sudden cardiac arrest or state of shock.
• Use on a finger with nail polish or fake nails.
WARNINGS
Do not use around a flame or any flammable agents.
• Choking hazard.
• Keep away from children.
• Do not discard batteries in a fire.
• Do not attempt to charge device batteries. Charging can result in battery leakage, fire, or explosion.
• Always discard batteries according to environmental safety guidelines.
• Do not use around MRI, CT or other X-Ray machines.
• Do not operate if wet.
• Avoid moving device between hot, cold or humid temperatures.
• Install batteries properly. Remove batteries if being stored for a long period of time.
• Always close the battery cover properly.
• Operate only as directed.
• Do not modify or use for any reason other than the intended purpose.
• Only certified doctors are qualified to evaluate and use the produced results.

OVERVIEW
Oxygen saturation is the percentage of oxyhemoglobin (HbO2) that is combined with oxygen against
all combinable hemoglobin (Hb). It is an important physiological parameter involved in respiration and
circulation. The oxygen saturation of arterial blood in a normal human body is 98%. Oxygen saturation
is an important indicator of the oxygen condition in the human body. In general, the normal values of
oxygen saturation shall not be lower than 94%. If the measured value of oxygen saturation is lower
than 94%, an insufficient supply of oxygen is considered. The pulse rate is the number of pulse beats
per minute. Normally, the pulse rate is consistent with the heart rate. In general, the pulse rate of every
people is 60 to 90 beats per minute.
WORKING PRINCIPLES, EXPECTED USAGE, AND APPLICABLE SCOPE
Based on full digital technology, the Finger Pulse Oximeter non-invasively measures the actual content
(oxygen saturation) of oxyhemoglobin (HbO2) in arterial blood using the optical transmittance method.
The Finger Pulse Oximeter measures the blood oxygen saturation and pulse rate of a human body via
finger artery. It is applicable to a wide range of fields, such as families, hospitals (including operation
rooms of the departments of internal medicine and surgery, the department of anesthesiology, the
department of paediatrics, and intensive care rooms), oxygen bars, social medical care institutions, and
sports & health. Use this instrument for measurement before or after sports. You are not advised to use
this instrument during sports activities. Do not use it for continuous care for patients.

POWER-ON BUTTON/FUNCTIONAL BUTTON OPERATIONS
After powering on the Oximeter, hold the power-on Button/functional button for about one second. The
Oximeter shows a parameter setting interface. Press or hold the power-on/functional button to perform
corresponding operations. Hold it to set an item, or press it to switch an option or switch the display
mode. Press means no more than 0.5 seconds, while Hold means more than 0.5 seconds.

ALERT SOUND SETTING
Hold the power-on button/functional button while the Oximeter is in powered-on state. Parameter setting
interface 1 is displayed, as shown in the following figure. Move "*" to the corresponding option, and hold
the functional button to set "Sound Reminder" to on and set Beep to off. When "Sound Reminder" is set
to on and the measured values of the blood oxygen saturation and pulse rate go beyond the upper limit or
lower limit, the Oximeter gives off an alert sound. When "Sound Reminder"is set to off and the measured
values go beyond the limit, the Oximeter will not give any alert sound. When Beep is set to on, a tick will
be heard along with pulse beats during pulse rate measurement. When Beep is set to off, no sound will be
output along with pulse beats during pulse rate measurement. While the "*" symbol stays on the Restore
option, hold the functional button to restore factory settings.
BRIGHTNESS SETTING
On parameter interface 1, press the functional button to select the Brightness option and then hold the
functional button to set the brightness to a value ranging from 1 to 5. The greater the value, the greater
the brightness of the screen.
ALERT RANGE SETTING
On parameter interface 2, press the functional button to switch between options. On this interface, you can set
the upper limit and lower limit of SpO2 Alm and PR Alm. While the "*" symbol stays on the +/- option, hold the
functional key to set the option to + or -. In + mode, select the corresponding option and hold the functional
button increment the upper or lower limit; in - mode, hold the functional button to discrete the upper or lower
limit. Move "*" to the Exit option, and hold the functional key to return to the monitoring interface.
OPERATION GUIDE
Stick one finger completely into the measuring parts of the Oximeter, keep the fingernail surface upward,
and release the clip. Then press the power button to power on the Oximeter.
If you do not yet completely insert your finger into the
cavity, the measurement result may be inaccurate.
Do not vibrate your finger during measurement.
Preferably, ensure that your body does not move. After
the readings become stable, read the measured values
of oxygen saturation and the pulse rate on the screen.
NOTE: The Oximeter will automatically shut down 10 seconds later after your finger leaves away.

REPLACE THE BATTERIES (BATTERY TYPE: AAA)
Replace the batteries when the battery capacity
is insufficient and the symbol flickers on the
screen. Open the battery cover with your
fingers, you can replace the batteries according
to the correct battery polarity.
CLEANING

DISINFECTION
Before measurement with the instrument, wipe the rubber finger pad using a piece of dry soft cloth
dipped with 75% medical alcohol. Clean the finger to be measured using the medical alcohol for
disinfection purposes before and after using.
Do not disinfect the instrument by means of high-temperature /high-pressure or gas disinfection.
MAINTENANCE
• Remove the batteries from the battery slot and properly store them if you do not plan to use the
Oximeter for a long period of time.
• Avoid using the Oximeter in an environment with inflammable gases or using it in an environment
where the temperature or humidity is excessively high or low.
• Check the accuracy of the oxygen saturation and pulse rate readings by using an appropriate
calibration apparatus.
