  • Do not attempt to service the Fingertip Pulse Oximeter. Only qualified service personnel should attempt any needed internal servicing.
  • Prolonged use or the user's condition may require changing the sensor site periodically. Change sensor site and check skin integrity, circulatory status and correct alignment at least every 2 hours.
  • SpO2 measurements may be adversely affected in the presence of high ambient light. Shield the sensor area with a surgical towel, or direct sunlight, for example) if necessary.
  • The following reason will cause interference to the testing accuracy of the Fingertip Pulse Oximeter.
  • High-frequency electrosurgical equipment.
  • Placement of a sensor on an extremity with a blood pressure cuff arterial catheter, or intravascular line
  • The user has hypotension severe vasoconstriction severe anemia or hypothermia.
  • The user is in cardiac arrest or is in shock.
  • Fingernail polish or false fingernails may cause inaccurate SpO2 readings.

Introduction

General

This chapter provides a general description of the Fingertip Pulse Oximeter including:

  • Brief device description
  • Product features

Indication for use/ intended use

The Pulse Oximeter is a non-invasive device intended for spot checking of functional oxygen saturation of arterial hemoglobin (SpO2) and pulse rate (PR). This portable device is indicated for sport and aviation use, not in clinical institution.

Brief Device Description

The Fingertip Pulse Oximeter, based on all digital technology, is intended for noninvasive spot-check measurement of functional oxygen saturation of arterial hemoglobin (SpO2). Advanced DSP algorithm* can minimize the influence of motion artifact and improve measurement accuracy of low perfusion*. The Oximeter can be used to measure human Hemoglobin Saturation and heart rate through finger. The product is suitable for family, sport, aviation and etc.

Product Features

  • Lightweight for carrying and Easy-To-Use.
  • Color OLED display, simultaneous display for testing value and plethysmogram*.
  • Low Perfusion: 0.3%. (Advanced DSP algorithm can improve measurement accuracy, under the condition of low perfusion.)
  • Visual & Sound reminder function. Real-time spot-checks.
  • Low Battery voltage indicator.
  • Automatically switch off.
  • Standard two AAA 1.5V Alkaline Bаttеrу support more than 20 hours continuous work.


The device can not be used to measure the child below 3 years as the test result is not guarantee to accurate.

The fingertip pulse oximeter is intended only as an adjunct in user assessment. It must be used in conjunction with other methods of assessing clinical signs and symptoms.

*DSP algorithm: Digital signal processor algorithm.
*Low Perfusion: In physiology, perfusion is the process of a body delivering blood to a capillary bed in its biological tissue. Under the condition of low perfusion, the measurement of non-invasive saturation of pulse-blood oxygen is low-accurate.
*Plethysmograph: is an instrument for measuring changes in volume within an organ or whole body (usually resulting from fluctuations in the amount of blood or air it contains).
PI (Perfusion Index )is the ratio of the pulsatile blood flow to the non-pulsatile static blood flow in a body's peripheral tissue, such as finger tip, toe, or ear lobe. Perfusion index is an indication of the pulse strength at the sensor site.

After switch on, the OLED display of the Fingertip Pulse Oximeter is as follows:
Display

Parameter setting

When the device is under measuring interface, press the select button for 1 second in order to enter into menu page (figure 3.3.1 and figure 3.3.2 ). There are two submenus for choice:

Remind Setup

Press the select button for 1 second and enter into the Remind Setup menu. User can adjust the setting through moving the "*" symbol to the back of the Sound Reminder, Beep, Restore or Brightness.

  • Sound Reminder
    Press the select button to move the "*" symbol to the back of Sound Reminder, long press the select button to turn it on/off.
    (Note: If the measured value exceeds the maximum or minimum value of SPO2 or PR, there will give off sound when sound reminder is turned on.)
  • Beep
    Press the select button to move the "*" symbol to the back of Beep, long press the select button to turn it on/off.
    (Note: When Beep is turned on, the sound emitted during the test indicates the pulse rate sound)
  • Restore
    When the "*" symbol show behind "Restore", long press the select button can be changed to "OK", which causes the device to restore factory data setting.
  • Demo
    Press the select button to move the "*" symbol to the back of Demo, long press the select button to turn it on/off.
  • Brightness
    When the "*" symbol show on "Brightness", long press the select button to change the Brightness value from 1 to 5.

Limit Value Setting

When the * symbol show on the Reminder Setup, long press the select button until enter into the Remind Limit setup menu (figure 3.3.2). User can press the select button to select the items. And press the select button for 1 second to change the data you need.
On the Reminder Limit setup menu page (figure 3.3.2), when the * symbol show behind the "+/-". Press select button for 1 second to change the "+" to "-" or change the "-" to "+".
When "+" shows on the right side, move the "*" after the Spo2 Hi or PR Hi setting and long press the select button for 1 second can increase the value to a higher value (until it reaches to the highest.)
When "-" shows on the right side, move the "*" after the Spo2 Lo or PR Lo value setting and long press the select button for 1second can reduce the value to a lower value (untill it reaches to the lowest).
Limit Value Setting

Note:

  1. The sound reminder have 1 second delay after the incorrect result being detected.
  2. The customer can preset the limit value to the 98 or 99 to check whether it is normal for sound reminder setting.
