Warnings, Cautions, & Notes NOTE! Dyes introduced into the bloodstream, such as methylene blue, indocyanine green, indigo carmine, patent blue V (PBV), and fluorescein, may adversely affect the accuracy of the SpO reading. NOTE! Any condition that restricts blood flow, such as use of a blood pressure cuff or extremes in systemic vascular resistance, may cause an inability to determine accurate pulse rate and SpO readings.
Chapter 1: Introduction Chapter 1: Introduction About the Manual The Operation Manual provides installation, operation, and maintenance instructions for health-care professionals and other users, trained in monitoring respiratory and cardiovascular activity. Theory of Operation The oximeter determines SpO and pulse rate by passing two wavelengths of low intensity light, one red and one infrared, through body tissue to a photodetector.
Chapter 2: Intended Use & Monitor Features Chapter 2: Intended Use and Monitor Features Intended Use This device is a handheld pulse oximeter that measures SpO , pulse rate, and pulse strength. It may be used as a spot check device in the hospital or clinical environments. Additionally, it may be used to collect long term data in overnight sleep screening studies in the sleep lab or home.
Chapter 3: Controls & Features Chapter 3: Controls & Features Monitor Front Panel Figure 3.1: Monitor Front Panel 1. Sensor/Serial Connector The sensor connects here, or an oximetry cable can be connected between the monitor and the sensor. The serial printer or PC communication cable is also connected here. 2.
Chapter 3: Controls & Features Figure 3.2: Monitor Operating Keys ON OFF Key Pressing this key turns the monitor ON and OFF. PRINT Key See Chapter 4 for more details on the three modes. Verification Mode: In this mode, momentarily pressing the key will not activate the printer as the printer function is suppressed in this mode.
Chapter 4: Operating Instructions Chapter 4: Operating Instructions WARNING: This device must be used in conjunction with clinical signs and symptoms. This device is only intended to be an adjunct in patient assessment. Unpacking the Monitor 1. Carefully remove the monitor and its accessories from the shipping carton. Save the packing materials in case the monitor must be shipped or stored.
Chapter 4: Operating instructions Attaching the Sensor to the Patient What you need to know about attaching the sensor to the patient: WARNING! Prolonged use or the patient’s condition may require changing the sensor site periodically. Patients setting up the device at home should be instructed of the signs/symptoms of sensor misuse (e.g., pressure sores from prolonged application) and should be advised to move the sensor to another finger if necessary.
Chapter 4: Operating Instructions Care and Handling of the Sensor WARNING! Misuse or improper handling of the sensor and cable could result in damage to the sensor. This may cause inaccurate readings. Hold the connector rather than the cable when connecting or disconnecting the sensor to the device as shown in Figure 4.1.
Chapter 4: Operating instructions Checking the Sensor and Oximetry Cable Follow these instructions each time before you attach the sensor to the patient. This helps ensure the sensor and oximetry cable is working properly. WARNING! Using a damaged sensor may cause inaccurate readings. Inspect each sensor.
Chapter 4: Operating Instructions Turning On the Monitor 1. To turn on the monitor, press the key. When turned ON, the monitor does the following: • The pulse strength bar graph segments rapidly light the bottom and top LED. • The monitor's software revision is momentarily displayed.
Chapter 4: Operating instructions Low Battery Indicator 1. The Low Battery Indicator is the top LED segment of the pulse strength bargraph. 2. The Low Battery Indicator will flash rapidly when the batteries need to be replaced. 3. The Low Battery Indicator and “trn” will flash rapidly if the monitor is trying to print and there is not enough battery life for printing.
Chapter 4: Operating Instructions Verification Mode Verification Mode is intended for use in spot checking and for verifying that the user has correct placement of the finger sensor. • The monitor will enter the Verification Mode as soon as trend memory is cleared. •...
Chapter 4: Operating instructions NOTE! Once the monitor is powered off in the Data Collection Mode, it cannot resume collection of trend data without clearing all previously obtained data. • Momentarily pressing the key will not activate the printer in the Data Collection Mode.
Chapter 5: Instructions for Training the Home User Chapter 5: Instructions for Training the Home User Equipment and Supplies Checklist for Home Use QUANTITY CAT. NO. DESCRIPTION Handheld Oximeter 1884SSHU Home Users Guide *The physician or home care provider will provide the type and quantity of the sensors needed for home use.
Chapter 6: Trend Data Chapter 6: Trend Data Description Whenever the monitor is on, it stores one SpO and one pulse rate reading every 4 seconds. The stored readings are called trend data. The monitor remembers trend data for at least 12 hours of run-time, possibly more, depending upon battery condition.
Chapter 7: Printer Chapter 7: Printer Description Up to 12 hours of previously stored data can be printed as a summation of data from the monitors built-in printer or as a data download to a computer. Trend Summary Printout To print the trend summary from the monitor’s built-in printer: 1.
