Extended press: Press the button for more than 1.5 seconds.
Long press: Press the button for more than 2 seconds.
5.3 Data replay and transmission
The oximeter can record SpO
2
and PR value for more than 72 hours, but the oximeter itself has no
data replay function. You can transmit the history data to a PC using “Virtuox” software and a special
data cable. As for detailed setup and operation, please refer to the “Virtuox” website.

5.4 Maintenance
It is very important for user to perform daily maintenance of oximeter and parts in order to maintain its
function and appearance. Disinfection procedures may be performed with the use of the below
mentioned cleaner/disinfectants. Failure to perform these procedures may result in invalidating the
warranty. Local disinfection protocols will apply.
Please take out battery before cleaning the oximeter.
The external surface of the oximeter can be cleaned by wiping with a damp cloth. Do not submerge
the oximeter in any solution at any time. To do so will void the warranty
Use the following permitted solutions:
Ammonia (diluted)
Glutaraldehyde
10% Bleach solution
Mild soapy water (diluted).
Do not use the following cleaners:
○
Any kind of scrubbing or scouring solution
○
Acetone
○
Alcohol-based cleaners
Probe cleaning and disinfecting
1. Clean or disinfect the sensor before each use.
2. Unplug the sensor from the oximeter before cleaning and/or disinfecting.
3. Clean the external sensor surfaces and patient contact surfaces with a soft cloth moistened
with water or a mild detergent solution.
4. To disinfect the sensor, wipe the surfaces with a disinfecting solution. Isopropyl alcohol is
recommended
5. Do not immerse the sensor in any solution. To do so will void the warranty.
6. Do not sterilize the sensor by irradiation, steam autoclaving or ethylene oxide
Battery maintenance
Remove the batteries if you will not be using the oximeter for a long time.
Charge the batteries (Ni-MH) fully prior to storage.
Please charge over 14 hours at first time, or will reduce the battery life.
