ASSIGNED PURPOSE
The Pulse Oximeter PM 100 is a portable non-invasive device intended for spotchecking of oxygen saturation of arterial hemoglobin (SpO2) and pulse rate of adult and pediatric patients. It is not suitable for continuous monitoring.

Items supplied and packaging

Please check first of all that the device is complete and is not damaged in any way. If in doubt, do not use it and contact the service centre. The following parts are included:

• 1 MEDISANA Pulse Oximeter PM 100
• 2 Batteries (type AAA) 1,5V
• 1 Lanyard
• 1 Instruction manual

The packaging can be reused or recycled. Please dispose properly of any packaging material no longer required. If you notice any transport damage during unpacking, please contact your dealer without delay.

Please ensure that the polythene packing is kept away from the reach of children! Risk of suffocation!

Device and controls

1. OLED Screen
2. Start-button
3. Opening for finger
4. Battery compartment lid (on rear side of the device)

Insert/change battery

Insertion: You must insert the batteries provided before you can use your unit. The lid of the battery compartment is located on the backside of the unit. Open it, remove it and insert the 2 x AAA type 1.5 V batteries supplied. Ensure correct polarity when inserting (as marked inside the battery compartment). Close the battery compartment.
Removal: Replace the batteries when the battery exchange symbol appears in the display. If nothing is displayed the batteries are completely empty and need to be replaced immediately.

Use

1. Open the finger opening by pressing the left upper and lower parts of the device together.
2. Place your finger as far as possible into the opening on the right side of the device and release the upper and lower parts.
3. Press the Start-button . The OLED-screen will switch on immediately.
4. Keep your finger resp. your whole body still for the reading. After a short time, the values for the pulse frequency and the blood oxygen saturation appear on the OLED screen:
   
5. By repeatedly pressing the Start-button you may switch between 6 different display modes (showing the already explained values in different view modes).
6. Remove your finger. The Pulse Oximeter will power off automatically after approx. 8 seconds.

What does the measured result mean?
The oxygen saturation (SpO₂) of the blood is a term referring to the concentration of oxygen attached to human hemoglobin. The normal value lies between 90 and 96% SpO₂. A too low value may be an indication for existing diseases like e.g. cardiac defect, problems of the circulatory system, asthma or specific diseases of the lung. A too high value may be caused by a too fast and too deep breathing, what bears the danger of a too low blood carbon dioxide level. The value measured with this device is not suitable in any way to make or confirm a diagnosis - contact your doctor under all circumstances to get a correct diagnosis.

Adjustment of the display brightness

The MEDISANA Pulse Oximeter PM 100 offers the possibility to adjust the brightness of the display in 10 steps. To do so, press and hold the Start-button (device must be switched on), until the desired brightness level is reached. The current brightness level is displayed on the upper right screen area (e.g. Br 1, Br 2, Br 3, Br 4 etc.). The factory setting is level 4 (Br 4).

Using the Lanyard

A Lanyard is included in the scope of delivery of the MEDISANA Pulse Oximeter PM 100. You may attach it to the device by threading the thinner end of the lanyard through the hanging hole on the left side of the device.

Troubleshooting

Error: SpO₂ and/or pulse frequency values are not displayed resp. are not displayed correctly.
Remedying: Place on of your fingers completely into the finger opening on the backside of the device. Use a new battery. Do not move or speak during the measurement. If still no correct values can be measured, contact the service centre.

Error: The device cannot be switched on.
Remedying: Remove the old battery and insert a new one. Press the START-button . If the device still cannot be switched on, contact the service centre.

Error: „Error 3" or „Error 4" appear on the display.
Remedying: Replace the batteries. A mechanical or electronical error may be present, which cannot be eradicated by replacement of the batteries. Contact the service centre.

Error: „Error 6" or „Error 7" appear on the display.
Remedying: The LED screen is defective or another technical error is present. Does the error message still appear even after you have exchanged the batteries, contact the service centre.

Cleaning and maintenance

Remove the batteries before cleaning. Never use strong detergents or hard brushes. Clean the unit with a soft cloth, moistened with isopropyl alcohol. Do not let water enter the unit. After cleaning, only use the unit when it is completely dry.

Technical specifications

SAFETY INFORMATION

• Pulse oximeters are sensitive to motion artefacts. Therefore keep hands still while taking a reading.
• Pulse Oximeters require sufficient blood flow to obtain proper readings. If your hands are cold or you have poor circulation, warm your hands by rubbing them together or use another method before attempting to obtain a reading. A tourniquet, blood pressure cuff or other blood flow hindrances may also result in inaccurate readings.
• Fingernail polish or acrylic nails obstruct the light transmission and may also result in inaccurate readings.
• Your finger and the pulse oximeter must be clean for proper reading.
• If a reading is different to obtain, switch to another finger or to the other hand.
• Inaccurate measurement results may also caused by:
  • dysfunctional hemoglobin or low hemoglobin
  • the use of intravascular dyes
  • high ambient light
  • excessive patient movement
  • high-frequency electrosurgical interference and defibrillators
  • venous pulsations
  • placement of a sensor on an extremity with a blood pressure cuff, arterial catheter, or intravascular line
  • patients suffering from hypotension, severe vasoconstriction, severe anemia, or hypothermia
  • cardiac arrest or shock
  • false fingernails
  • circulatory disorder
• The Pulse Oximeter will not alert you if your readings are out of normal range.
• Explosion hazard: Do not use the Pulse Oximeter in an explosive atmosphere.
• The device is not suitable for continuous blood oxygen monitoring.
• In order to ensure correct sensor alignment and skin integrity, the maximum application time at a single site for our device should be less than 4 fours.
• Operation of the Pulse Oximeter may be affected by the use of an electrosurgical unit (ESU).
• Do not use the Pulse Oximeter in an MRI or CT environment.
• The Pulse Oximeter is intended only as an adjunct in patient assessment. It must be used in conjunction with other methods of assessing clinical signs and symptoms advised by a professional physician.
• The device is not intended for sterilization or for cleaning with liquids.
• This equipment is not intended for use during patient transport outside the healthcare facility.
• This equipment should not be used adjacent to or stacked with other equipment.
• The device must not be used with accessories, detachable parts and other materials not described in the instructions for use.
• Please do not attempt to repair the unit yourself in the event of malfunctions. Stop using the device and conact the service centre.
• The materials that contact with the patient's skin have been tested to be in tolerance. In case you should detect skin irritations etc., stop using the device and contact a doctor.
• The swallowing of small parts like packaging bag, battery, battery cover and so on may cause suffocation.

SAFETY NOTES FOR BATTERIES

• Do not disassemble batteries!
• Never leave any low battery in the battery compartment since it may leak and cause damage to the unit!
• Increased risk of leakage! Avoid contact with skin, eyes and mucous membranes!
• If battery acid comes in contact with any of these parts, rinse the affected area with copious amounts of fresh water and seek medical attention immediately!
• If a battery has been swallowed, seek medical attention immediately!
• Insert the batteries correctly, observing the polarity!
• Keep batteries out of children's reach!
• Do not attempt to recharge batteries! There is a danger of explosion!
• Do not short circuit! There is a danger of explosion!
• Do not throw into a fire! There is a danger of explosion!
• Do not throw used batteries into the household refuse; put them in a hazardous waste container or take them to a battery collection point, at the shop where they were purchased
