Heal Force KS-AC01 Directions For Use

SpO Sensor
2
Directions for Use
3502-2290137 V1.1

Intended Use

It's applicable to be used with a compatible patient monitor or a pulse oximeter device. The sensor is intended to be used for non-invasively monitoring the functional arterial
oxygen saturation (SpO ) and pulse rate (PR) for adult and pediatric patients.

Contraindications

This sensor is contraindicated for use on active patients or for prolonged use.

Structure and Composition

It consists of light emitting diodes, photo-detector, plastic or rubber fixing mechanics, cable and connector.

Instructions for Use

SpO sensor is a kind of very delicate part. Please follow the given steps and procedures while using it. Failure to operate correctly can cause damage to the SpO
2
1. Connect the SpO sensor to the panel connector marked with "SpO
2
the head of the connector and pull it out.
2. For Adult Finger Clip SpO Sensor, insert one finger (index finger is preferred, but middle or ring finger with proper nail length is possible as well) into the sensor according to
2
the mark on the sensor clip, as shown in Figure 1.
3. For Adult Finger Rubber SpO Sensor, insert one finger (index finger is preferred, but middle or ring finger with proper nail length is possible as well) into the sensor according
2
to the mark on the sensor cap, as shown in Figure 2. Note that the finger should be inserted deeply enough so that the light emitted from the opto-sensor (at one side of
Y-type sensor) will transmit through the finger bone for light scattering before reaching to the receiving part of the Y-type sensor.

wrapper can be removed from the Y-type sensor for cleaning, the wrapper fixation can be adjusted for sensor alignment and proper tightness. Place the Y-type sensor into its
seating position within the wrapper and open the wrapper belt before wrapping onto finger or sole. When used on finger, put the finger inside the wrapper so as it is between
the two sides of Y-type sensor, then wrap the wrapper belt around the sensor as illustrated in Figure 4(A). When used on sole, place the sole within the wrapper and wrap it up
around the sole, then tighten the rubber belt with proper force as illustrated in Figure 4(B), it is strongly recommended to use self-adhesive gauze to fix the sensor cable nearby
the measuring site, so that the relative moving between the sensor and the part to be measured could be avoided to increase signal quality.
For Ear Clip SpO Sensor, clip the sensor on the patient's earlobe, as shown in Figure 5.

Note:1) The sensor placement is critical for the signal strength and quality especially for measurement on sole. Try to make the light aiming for the opto-emitting and receiving
parts (Y-type sensor) each other in the opposite side, so that the light beam is as vertically transmitted as possible and the light path is as short as possible.
2) Make sure there is arterial blood capillary (with artery pulse) and bone (for light scattering) within the light path between the opto-emitting and receiving parts, so that the
measurement will be effective.
3) The rubber wrapper should be adjusted for adequate force with not too tight and not too loose. Too tight force (the skin color will become pale after a while) will be
uncomfortable or even cause injury to the patient, too loose force will induce more motion artifact to degrade the signal quality.
Warnings and Attentions:
The SpO sensor should be used together with the compatible unit (such as a Patient Monitor and a Pulse Oximeter), otherwise, inaccurate measurement results will be
2
caused.
Although biocompatibility tests have been performed on all the applied parts, some exceptional allergic patients may still have anaphylaxis. Do NOT apply to those who have
anaphylaxis.
All the parts of the sensor should NOT be replaced at will. If necessary, please use the components provided by the manufacturer or those that are of the same model and
standards as the accessories along with the monitor which are provided by the same factory, otherwise, negative effects concerning safety and biocompatibility etc. may be
caused.
Local laws and regulations must be followed when disposing of the SpO
