- The oximeter cannot be used together with the devices and accesso-
ries not specified in Use’s Manual.
- Special attention should be paid while the Pulse Oximeter is used
constantly when the ambient temperature over 37°C, burning hurt
may occur because of over-heating of the sensor at this situation.
1.2 Attentions
- Keep the oximeter away from dust, vibration, corrosive sub-
stances, explosive materials, high temperature and moisture.
– The device should be kept out of the reach of children.
- If the oximeter gets wet, please stop using it and do not resume oper-
ation until it is dry and checked for correct operation. When it is car-
ried from cold environment to warm and humid environment, please
do not use it immediately. Allow at least 15 minutes for Pulse Oximeter
to reach ambient temperature.
- DO NOT press the keys on front panel with sharp materials or sharp
points.
- High temperature or high pressure steam disinfection to the oximeter
is not permitted. Refer to User’s Manual for instructions of cleaning
and disinfection.
- The finger should be put in properly and correctly.
- Do not shake the finger. Keep at ease during measurement.
- Do not put wet finger directly into sensor.
- Do not let anything block the emitting light from the device.
- Ensure that there is artery vessel within measuring site where the light
transmits through.
- Vigorous exercise and the interference from the electrosurgical device
may affect the measuring accuracy.
- If the first reading appears with poor waveform (irregular or not
smooth), then the reading is unlikely true, the more stable value is ex-
pected by waiting for a while, or a restart is needed when necessary.
