1.2 Warnings
- Explosive hazard—DO NOT use the oximeter in environment.
with inflammable gas such as some ignitable anesthetic agents.
- DO NOT use the oximeter while the testee measured by MRI and
CT.
- To dispose the device, the local law must be followed.
1.3 Attentions
- Keep the oximeter away from dust, vibration, corrosive sub-
stances, explosive materials, high temperature and moisture.
- If the oximeter gets wet, please stop operating it. When it is
carried from cold environment to warm and humid environment,
please do not use it immediately.
- DO NOT press the keys on front panel with sharp materials.
- High temperature or high pressure steam disinfection to the oxi-
meter is not permitted. Refer to User’s Manual for instructions of
cleaning and disinfection.
- DO NOT have the oximeter immerged in liquid. When it needs
cleaning, please wipe its surface with disinfect solution by soft
material. Do not spray any liquid on the device directly
2. OVERVIEW
The pulse oxygen saturation is the percentage of HbO
2
in the total Hb
of the blood, so-called the O
2
concentration in the blood. It is an impor-
tant bio-parameter to the respiration. Many of the respiration disease
will cause hypoxemia, even endanger the patient’s health. As a result,
monitoring the SpO
2
is indispensable in the clinical rescuing. The tradi-
tional method to measure SpO
2
is to analyze the sample of the patient’s
blood, so can get the partial pressure of oxygen and calculate the SpO
2
by use the blood-gas analyzer. This method is inconvenient and can
not be used to monitor continuously. For the purpose of measuring the
SpO
2
more easily and accurately, GIMA developed the Fingertip Oxime-
ter. The device can measure the pulse rate and blood perfusion index
simultaneously.
The Fingertip Oximeter is compact, convenient to use and carry and
with low power consumption. You just need to put the fingertip into the
