Chapter 2: Intended Use and General Information
2.1 Intended Use
The UT100 Handheld Pulse Oximeter is a low cost monitor for spot checking,
continuous, noninvasive monitoring or recording of functional oxygen
saturation of arterial hemoglobin (SpO
2
), pulse rate and pulse strength. The
monitor is a battery or AC adapter powered pulse oximeter. It may be used in
the hospital, clinical environment, homecare, and during emergency land
transportation. The oximeter will operate accurately over an ambient
temperature range of 32 to 113°F (0 to 45°C). The oximeter works with given
sensors providing SpO
2
and pulse rate on all patients from neonatal to adult.
This device is intended for continuous patient monitoring with adjustable
alarm limits as well as visible and audible alarm signals.
NOTE! The monitor was not designed or tested to be an apnea monitor.
2.2 Monitor Features
• Provides fast, reliable SpO
2
, pulse rate, and pulse strength measurements.
• Ideally suited for use in intensive care units, outpatient clinics, emergency
rooms, and during emergency land transport.
• Portable and lightweight. It weighs only 500 grams, with batteries.
• Ergonomically designed to fit comfortably in the palm of your hand.
• Uses four (4) standard “AA” alkaline or Ni-MH batteries.
• Battery life is approximately twenty (20) hours.
• Bright, easy-to-read LCD displays indicate SpO
2
and pulse rate
measurements, Plethysmogram and trend table.
• Screen rotation provides upright display for vertical or horizontal
monitoring positioning.
• Perfusion Index indicates arterial pulse signal strength.
