oximeter monitor. However, it can be used to demonstrate a particular calibration curve reproduced
by pulse oximeter, and has been proved to meet the specific accuracy specification.

If the pulse oximeter has a specific calibration curve and it is accurate for the combination of the
pulse oximeter and pulse oximeter probe, the functional tester will be able to measure the overall
error of the monitor / probe system from the monitor, and will also be able to test the accuracy of the
pulse oximeter that copies the calibration curve.
Clinical Restriction
1. The measure is based on small arterial pulsation, thus the subject must have the smallest pulsatory blood
flows. A weaker pulsation caused by shock, coldness or hypothermia, huge blood loss and use of
vaso-constricting drugs will lead to smaller pulse oximetric (Pleth) waves, and thus to more sensitive to
interference in measure.
2. The monitor may give inaccurate pulse oximetric values when a substantial amount of dyeing/thinning
materials (such as methylene blue, indocyanine green, and sodium indigodisulfonate), carbon
monoxyhemoglobin (COHb), or methionine (Me+Hb), thiohaemoglobin exists in subjects or the measure is
conducted for some icterus animals.
3. Dopamine, procaine, prilocaine, lidocaine, buzocaine and other drugs may cause severe measured deviation
for pulse oximetry.
4. Pulse oximetry only has referable significance to anemic anoxia and toxic anoxia, because some severe
anemian animals may still present relatively better pulse oximetry measured value.
6.4.3 SpO
2
Module
The user can select and configure the SpO
2
module as needed. The monitor can support three types of SpO
2
module: SpO
2
module, Masimo SpO
2
module, and Nellcor SpO
2
module. The monitor has been configured in the
factory according to the module selected by the user.
Select sensor
Please select the sensor according to the configured oximeter module, considering factors such as the animal‘s
weight, perfusion, application position of the sensor and the monitoring period. To get more information, please
refer to the A.2 Accessories, or contact your sales representative. Please select the appropriate sensor, follow the
usage instructions, and also comply with all the warnings and cautions in the User Manual of the sensor.
Attention

The sensor interface of SpO
2
module is different from and incompatible with the Masimo SpO
2
module/Nellcor SpO
2
module.
6.4.4 Monitoring Steps
1 Select appropriate oximeter sensor according to the module type, animal type and weight.
2 Place blood oxygen sensor probes on animal‘s body.
3 Select the oximeter extension cord according to the SpO
2
interface type of the module, and connect the
oximeter extension cord to SpO
2
interface of the monitor.
4 Connect the blood oxygen sensor with the extension cable.
