EASYPIX PO2 - Pulse Oximeter Manual

Product introduction

A Pulse Oximeter is a common device used to check oxygen saturation (SpO²) and pulse rate. It is a compact, reliable and durable physiological monitoring device featuring an OLED display and powered by 2 x AAA batteries (not included).

Intended use

The Pulse Oximeter is reusable device and is intended for spot checking the pulse oxygen saturation and pulse rate of adults. It should not be used for continuous monitoring – this should only be done under the guidance of your doctor.

Restrictions

Use of the device is for adults only.
Please do not use the device for children, infants and neonatal.
The product is not suitable for children under 3 years because of choking hazard.

Safety instructions

The person using the Pulse Oximeter must have read the instructions for use carefully.
This product should only be used to give an indicative or reference reading. It should not be used to determine a diagnosis without consultation with your doctor. Longer term or ongoing use should only be under the guidance of your doctor.
If you experience any discomfort in use, please stop immediately and seek medical help.
When using the Pulse Oximeter the user should pay attention to, and guarantee safety of the patient being measured.
The Pulse Oximeter does not feature an alarm function. It should not be used for continuous monitoring for an extended period.
Damaged skin tissue can not be measured.
Do not use the device if it has been damaged in any way.
Do not use the device in any way other than that described in this manual.

Do not to use the Pulse Oximeter during MRI (magnetic resonance imaging) scanning or CT (Computed Tomography) environment as the induced current could potentially cause burns.
The device should not be modified, repaired or serviced in any way by the end user.
Do not use the Pulse Oximeter in the presence of flammable anesthetics, explosive substances, vapors or liquids.

Ensure the device is always clean and free from dirt before use.
Before cleaning the device, ensure it is turned off.
Do not use high pressure or high temperature to disinfect or clean the device. Never use cleaning agents/disinfectants other than those recommended.
The device is a factory sealed unit. Keep its surface dry and clean, and prevent contact with liquids.
The Pulse Oximeter is precision device. Avoid pressure, knocks, strong vibration or other mechanical damage.
Please store safely when not in use.
For disposal of Pulse Oximeter and accessories, follow local regulations regarding disposal of such a device and accessories. Do not dispose of randomly.

Use AAA alkaline batteries. Do not use carbon or poor quality batteries. Remove the batteries if the product will not be used for an extended period of time.

Avoid exposure to static electricity before using the Pulse Oximeter.
When in use, keep the device away from radio receivers. To avoid enhanced electromagnetic radiation or reduce anti-electromagnetic interference performance, only use the device as configured.
Portable and mobile radio frequency communication equipment can affect the normal use of the pulse oximeter.

Storage environment

The Pulse Oximeter should not be close to or stored with other equipment.
Always store the device and small parts such as batteries out of the reach of children.
Always ensure suitable supervision of patients or others where the device is used on a lanyard.

Description of the product

Function description

The Pulse Oximeter is used to measure arterial oxygen saturation (SpO²) and the pulse rate. Oxygen saturation indicates the percentage of haemoglobin in the arterial blood that is loaded with oxygen.
The Pulse Oximeter uses two light beams of different wavelengths for measurement. These light beams strike the inserted finger inside the housing during measurement and the arterial oxygen saturation is then calculated and displayed on the Pulse Oximeter.

Measuring steps

NOTICE
Do not perform SpO² monitoring and NIBP (Non-invasive blood pressure) measurements on the same arm simultaneously. Obstruction of blood flow during NIBP measurements may adversely affect the reading of the SpO² value.
Do not use the Pulse Oximeter to measure patients whose pulse rate is lower than 30bpm, as this may cause incorrect results.
Ensure there is no contamination and/or scars on the tested finger as the result indicated may be incorrect due to the signal received by the sensor being affected.
When used on various patients, the product is prone to cross contamination, which should be prevented and controlled by the user. Disinfection is recommended before using the product on other patients.
The highest temperature threshold of the sensor contacts with a patient's skin is 41°C.
Repeat use may require the use of different fingers to obtain a measurement.

Factors affecting measurement accuracy

Incorrect placement of the finger may affect the accuracy of the measurement.
The measurements also depend on absorption of a special wavelength ray by oxidized hemoglobin and deoxyhemoglobin. Concentration of nonfunctional hemoglobin may affect the accuracy of the measurement.
Always consult a doctor if in doubt.
Shock, anemia, hypothermia and the application of vasoconstriction drug may decrease arterial blood flow to an unmeasurable level.
Pigment, or deep color (for example: nail polish, artificial nails, dye or pigmented cream) may cause inaccurate measurements.

Rotate the display

To rotate the display for convenient reading, when the result has been displayed on the screen, short press the "POWER/FUNCTION" button once.

Auto switch off

The product will switch off automatically after 10 seconds of no signal being detected.

Transfer of measurement results to your smartphone (via Bluetooth)

Thanks to the integrated Bluetooth function, you can transfer the measurement results to your smartphone.
