During the oximetry test
MIROxi
cannot be switched off, to switch off the device it is necessary to interrupt
the test in progress, this avoids unwanted interruptions which could compromise the accuracy of the data
obtained.
For the non-invasive measurement of the SpO
2
oxygen saturation
and the blood pulse rate
,
utilize the re-usable finger
sensor. This sensor is recommended for patients weighing
>
20 Kg with limited activity.
Carry out an oximetry test as follows:
•
Connect the sensor to the instrument: insert the connector with the arrow
(printed on the connector) face-up:
•
Choose a high perfusion site, easily adaptable to the sensor.
•
Insert a finger into the sensor until the finger touches the end of the
probe.
Ensure that the bottom part of the finger completely covers the detector. If
the finger cannot be correctly positioned, use another finger.
•
Position the sensor so that the cable is underneath the palm of the hand.
This enables the light source to remain on the fingernail and the detector
on the bottom part of the finger.
•
From the main screen press to access the test menu.
The display will show the screen with the oximetry tests that can be performed, specifically:

DESCRIPTION
Walk test - 6MWT
Sleep oximetry
Oximetry (SpO2/BPM)
WARNING
In order not to compromise the reproducibility of the measurements and the integrity of the sensor, avoid
twisting the sensor cable and handle with due care when using, connecting, disconnecting and when placing
the finger into it.
During the first few seconds of the test the device searches for the best signal, after which the timer re-sets to zero and
MIROxi
starts to memorise the data.
If the sensor has not been correctly inserted, the following message will appear:
WARNING
Sensor unplugged
If the sensor has been inserted but the finger is not inserted correctly, the following message will appear:
WARNING
FINGER not inserted
If the sensor correctly receives the signal, after a few seconds the device starts to ‘beep’ and the values will be displayed
on the screen.
For all oximtery tests, alarms can be set up to sound in the case that the critical values are exceeded as described in
paragraph 2.4.
If an alarm is activated then the symbol
is shown on the display
during that test. Alarms can be activated or disactivated during a test
by pressing
; this brings up a menu showing the preset alarm
thresholds. Press OK to confirm the disactivate or to activate the alarm
function. If OK is NOT pressed then the device continues the test
without changing the alarm settings.
For further information on the correct set up for this function please refer to paragraph 2.4.
