Thank you for purchasing the DigiPulse Oximeter.
By selecting this product, you have chosen a high quality, innovative device. Before using the DigiPulse
Oximeter for the first time, please read through these instructions carefully. If you still have any questions
regarding its use, visit the A.M.G. Medical website or contact our Customer Service team at
1-800-363-2381.
The DigiPulse™ Oximeter is an accurate and easy to use device with One-Touch Operation. This compact
oximeter is light weight making it convenient to carry anywhere. Additional state of the art features
include: OLED screen with six different display modes - Low power consumption, new batteries can
last over six hours - Auto shut-off. The DigiPulse™ oximeter is intended for single measurement
home-use for adults and children over the age of 4. This device is indicated for use in measuring
functional oxygen saturation (%SpO2) and pulse rate. This device is not designed for continuous
monitoring, nor meant for life-supporting activities.
Precautions
• Before first time use, read the Pulse Oximeter instructions thoroughly.
Save the user guide for future reference.
• This device is not meant for treatment and does not replace examination by a physician.
• The operation of the DigiPulse Oximeter may be affected by the use of an electrosurgical unit (ESU).
• The pulse oximeter must be able to measure the pulse properly to obtain an accurate Sp
O
2 measurement.
Verify that nothing is hindering the pulse measurement before relying on it.
• Explosive hazard-DO NOT use the oximeter in environments with flammable gas such as ignitable anesthetic agents.
• Do not use the pulse oximeter in an MRI or CT environment.
• Do not sterilize the device using autoclaving, ethylene oxide, or by immersing the device in liquid.
Refer to the cleaning section for more information.
• This equipment complies with IEC 60601-1-11 for electromagnetic compatibility for medical
electrical equipment and/or systems. However, because of the proliferation of radio-frequency
transmitting equipment and other sources of electrical noise in healthcare and other environments,
it is possible that high levels of such interference due to close proximity or strength of a source might
disrupt the performance of this device.
• Portable and mobile RF communications equipment can affect medical electrical equipment.
• This device is not intended for use during patient transport outside a healthcare facility.
• This unit should not be used adjacent to or stacked with other equipment.
• Keep the oximeter away from dust, vibration, corrosive substances, explosive materials,
high temperature and moisture.
• When the device is carried from a cold environment to warm or humid environments,
please do not use the DigiPulse Oximeter immediately.
• If the oximeter gets wet, please stop operating it.
• Do not operate button on front panel with sharp objects.
• If fingers are too thin or too cold, it could affect Sp
O
2 and pulse rate readings.
Please insert the largest finger such as thumb or middle finger deeply into the probe.
• Nail polish (shellac) may produce variable results.
• It may be unsafe to:
- use accessories, detachable parts and materials not described in these instructions.
- interconnect this equipment with other equipment not described in these instructions.
- disassemble, repair or modify the equipment.
• To avoid any possibility of accidental strangulation, keep lanyard away from children and do not wear lanyard
around the neck. If a sensitivity or rash develops from wearing the lanyard, please stop using it.
• This oximeter has a visible low-battery indicator. Please change batteries when it is low.
• Remove the batteries if the unit will not be used for an extended period of time.
Always replace all the batteries with new ones at the same time.
• Keep the oximeter out of reach of children. Some parts are small and may represent a choking hazard.
• Do not use this device on infants. This product is suitable for children over 4 years old.
General Information
Oxygen binds to hemoglobin in red blood cells when moving through the lungs. It is transported throughout the body
as arterial blood. A pulse oximeter uses two frequencies of light (red and infrared) to determine the percentage (%) of
hemoglobin in the blood that is saturated with oxygen. The percentage is called blood oxygen saturation, or Sp
O
2.
A pulse oximeter also measures and displays the pulse rate at the same time it measures the Sp
O
2 level.

Battery Installation
1. Slide off the battery cover.
2. Install two AAA batteries by matching the correct polarity, as shown. If the polarities are not matched,
damage may be caused to the oximeter.
3. Close the cover.
Note:
Remove the batteries if the pulse oximeter will not be used for long periods of time.
Getting Started
Setting the Alarm, Sound, and Screen Brightness.
1. With power off, press the “Power” button for 3 seconds to activate the set-up mode.
2. Press the “Power” button to toggle between the alarm, sound, and brightness options.

5. Click and hold for 3 seconds on “RESTORE” to return to the original factory settings.
Alarm Setting
1. Once alarm setting is activated, hold the “Power” button for 3 seconds to adjust
the high and low limits for the SPO2 and Pulse alarms.
2. Choose ”+” or “-” to increase or decrease values.
3. For each parameter, continue to press the “POWER” button until desired high
and low limits are reached, then release the button.
4. The alarm will beep when a reading is out of range including:
an SPO2 ≥ 99 or < 85 and PR bpm ≥ 130 or < 50.
Operation Instructions
• Install two AAA batteries following the battery installation instructions.
• Place one of your fingers into the rubber opening of the pulse oximeter.
• When placing your finger into the oximeter, your nail surface must be upward.
• Press button on the front panel to turn the pulse oximeter on.
