signal is released and PWR pilot light turned on. The display views the following writing: Pot (no
patient connected).
2) Insert the finger of the patient into the examination sensor. It is possible to use any finger, however
it is advisable to select the finger suitable to the sensor dimensions. (The PULSE OXIMETER can be
fitted with different sensors, follow the instructions).
In order to perform an accurate detection of the value, the patient shall keep still.
3) Wait 6 seconds and the sensor starts up measuring. The upper display shows the value of blood
oxygen saturation rate (SpO 2 %) and the lower display shows the heart rate
(Pulse/min).
COMDEK PULSE OXIMETER is provided with a sound signal warning that the values detected by
the sensor are higher or lower than the ones stored in the equipment.
Default alarm settings are:
SpO 2
Max
100%
SpO 2
Min
50%
Heart rate
Max
250 bpm
Heart rate
Min
30 bpm
To change these values, proceed as follow:
• SpO 2 alarm max. value
Press Select once, the red led (SpO 2 Min) lights up and a value blinks on the upper display. This value
represents the maximum value for oxygen saturation (SpO 2 ).
To change this value, press key to increase it and key to reduce it.
• SpO 2 alarm min. value
Press Select two times, the red led (SpO 2 Min) lights up and a value blinks on the upper display. This
value represents the minimum value for oxygen saturation (SpO 2 ).
To change this value, press key to increase it and key to reduce it.
• Heart rate alarm max. value
Press Select three times, the red led (Pulse Max) lights up and a value blinks on the lower display. This
value represents the maximum value for heart rate (Pulse/min). To change this value, press key to
increase it and key to reduce it.
• Heart rate alarm min. value
Press Select four times, the red led (Pulse Max) lights up and a value blinks on the lower display. This
value represents the minimum value for heart rate (Pulse/min). To change this value, press key to
increase it and key to reduce it.
When it stops blinking, the equipment returns to the original conditions.
The new alarm settings will be automatically saved.
