It must be used in conjunction with clinical signs and symptoms. PRINCIPLES OF PULSE OXIMETRY The Mediaid Model 3X pulse oximeter is designed to measure the percentage of functional oxygenated hemoglobin to total hemoglobin. Noninvasive arterial oxygen saturation measurement is obtained by directing red and infra red light through a pulsating vascular bed.
LED (light emitting diode) wavelengths are tightly controlled by testing in production. PRINCIPAL FEATURES The Mediaid Model 3X pulse oximeter is a portable, lightweight, pocket-sized instrument that monitors both functional arterial oxygen saturation (SpO ) and pulse rate noninvasively.

PRINCIPLES OF OPERATION • Dispose of this instrument and its accessories according to governmental regulations. • Adhere to all cautions, stipulations, and instructions included with the sensors used. • Explosion hazard. Do not use Model 3X in presence of flammable anesthetics or gases.
Page 10
PRINCIPLES OF OPERATION Battery Cautions • Use only Li-ion batteries specified by Mediaid. Use of any other type of battery not specifically recommended. Use of such batteries could damage the pulse oximeter. • Never dispose of batteries into fire, short-circuit the terminals, or attempt to disassemble or heat the battery.
Page 11
PRINCIPLES OF OPERATION • Turn off very bright lights, such as surgical, bilirubin, fluorescent, or infrared heating lights if they interfere with sensor functioning. In cases where such lights are unavoidable, cover the sensor site with an opaque material. • Route sensor cords carefully.

FEATURES, INDICATORS, KEYS AND SYMBOLS SEND 9. PRINT / SEND KEY A long press of the SEND key transmits all the stored data to a computer through USB/IR or a printer through the IR port. In Auto Mode, short press of the SEND key starts storing the data in the memory and in Intermittent Mode, every short press of the SEND key stores the displayed data in the memory.
CHAPTER 3: INITIAL SETUP UNPACKING AND INSPECTION Notify the carrier if the shipping carton is damaged. Unpack the Model 3X and components. If anything is missing or damaged, contact Mediaid Technical Support. TESTING Before using the Model 3X in a clinical setting, verify that the unit functions properly by following the instructions in the section on “Powering ON the Pulse...
INITIAL SETUP To replace the battery, complete the following steps. Unscrew the Battery cover on the rear of the oximeter. Disconnect and Remove the battery. Insert the new battery and attach the connector. Put back the rear cover and tighten the screw. CAUTION: While replacing battery, ensure that the proper tools are used to remove/fix the screw.
INITIAL SETUP The Battery level indicator displays the battery level in a scale of 3LEDs. If the unit is connected to external charger for charging, then the LSB LED indicator should glow in Green and display the charging status. LSB & Middle LEDs glow, if the unit is partially charged (about 70%).
Page 22
INITIAL SETUP After the pulse oximeter is powered on, all the segments of 7 segment LED DISPLAY, BARGRAPHS are turned ON and all LEDs in the Keypad are also turned ON for about 1-2 seconds. This is as a part of self test to ensure that all display segments are functional.
INITIAL SETUP The LED DISPLAY shows one of the following for 1 second: (MODEL 34 ONLY) • Ato, if the pulse oximeter is in the Automatic Recording mode. • int, and the patient number (from P01 to P 20) if the pulse oximter is in the Intermittent Recording mode.
• Ambient light. • Patient movement. CAUTION: Calibration cannot be performed by the user/operator. Please contact Mediaid. CAUTION: Reusing the device/sensor without prior cleaning may result in cross contamination. Loss of pulse signal can occur for the following reasons: •...
MONITORING AND RECORDING MONITORING PULSE OXIMETRY (MODEL 30 ONLY) The Model 30 can be used only for spot checks. It does not have alarm, storing and retrieval of data, IR, USB features. Do not attempt to use for continuous monitoring, as it may endanger the patient. The Monitoring mode is started by placing the finger in the sensor and powering on the monitor.
MONITORING AND RECORDING To monitor pulse oximetry data without recording the data in memory (possible only in Auto & Intermittent mode without pressing the send key), complete the following steps: After powering on (in Auto or Intermittent mode) the LED DISPLAY shows three dashes (- - -) for SpO and BPM indicators for 1-2 seconds while the pulse oximeter performs the power-on self tests.
Page 27
MONITORING AND RECORDING Selecting the Intermittent Recording Mode If the oximeter is on, Power it off. Press the down arrow key and power ON/OFF key. After 4 seconds of showing “int” , the LED DISPLAY will show (—), indicating that all previously stored data of Auto/Sleep Mode has been erased. Entering Patient Number When the pulse oximeter is in the Intermittent Recording mode, the patient number from P1 to P20 shows on the LED DISPLAY at power-on, unless a patient...
Page 28
MONITORING AND RECORDING See “Entering a Patient Number” for more information. The data recorded can be retrieved; either by printing or by transmitting to a computer (see Chapter 6). Recording Data Automatically on a Single Patient The following conditions apply to the Automatic Recording mode: Data is recorded every 1 minute for a single patient.
Page 29
MONITORING AND RECORDING Short press of the SEND/PRINT key would start/stop the recording process. Both the displays will flash once to indicate the commencement of recording. Erasing Stored Data Press SAT ALARM key and RATE ALARM key together at any time when the unit is ON for about 6 seconds.
Patient Sleep Screening Instructions Your health care provider has given you the Mediaid Model 34 pulse oximeter so that you can record your oxygen saturation data while you sleep. Carefully read the following instructions.
Page 31
RECORDING SLEEP SCREENING DATA Tear off a 4-5 inch strip of ¼ or ½ inch paper tape. With the sensor resting comfortably on your finger, wrap the tape around your finger and the sensor. Press the tape against the skin on both sides of your finger. Turn the model 34 on by pressing POWER ON/OFF key.
CHAPTER 6: DATA RETRIEVAL (MODEL 34 ONLY) VIEWING TREND Data can be viewed on the oximeter itself by switching ON the oximeter in the following manner. Press SAT ALARM key and switch ON the oximeter using the POWER ON/OFF key together. The data is displayed depending on the modes. The arrow keys are used for scrolling between time and patient number (in case of intermittent mode).
DATA RETRIEVAL TRANSMITTING DATA TO A PRINTER Transmitting pulse oximetry data to a printer requires the Model 34 & compatible printer with IR port. Selecting the Printer Transmission Method The pulse oximeter has two data transmission methods. To transmit data to a printer, the Printer Transmission method must first be selected.
DATA RETRIEVAL TRANSMITTING DATA TO A COMPUTER Transmitting pulse oximetry data to a computer requires the following: • The Model 34. • Infrared Data Converter. • USB Port and Connector. • A Personal Computer (PC) or Laptop running Windows 2000, ME, XP, or NT 4.0 SP3-SP6.
DATA RETRIEVAL Either Prt (for transmission to a printer) or CO (for transmission to a computer) shows on the LED DISPLAY. If Prt shows on the LED DISPLAY, press the arrow keys to scroll till CO is displayed. Each press of up or down arrow will toggle the pulse oximeter between the Printer and Computer Transmission methods (Prt &...
