Notes
Please read the manual very carefully before using this device.
Failure to follow these instructions can cause measuring
abnormality or damage to the Oximeter.
The contents contained in this manual are subject to change
without notice.
Information furnished by our company is believed to be accurate
and reliable. However, no responsibility is assumed by us for its
use, or any infringements of users or other rights of third parties
that may result from its use.
Instructions for Safe Operation
Make sure that there is no visible damage that may affect user’s
safety or measurement performance with regard to sensors and
clips. It is recommended that the device should be inspected
minimally before each use. If there is obvious damage, stop using
the device.
Special attention should be paid while the oximeter is used
constantly under the ambient temperature over 37°C, burning hurt
may occur because of over-heating of the sensor at this situation.
Necessary maintenance must be performed only by qualified
service technicians. Users are not permitted to service this device.
The oximeter must not be used with devices and accessories not
specified in User Manual.
Warnings and Cautions
Explosive hazard—
DO NOT
use the Oximeter in environment with
inflammable gas such as some ignitable anesthetic agents.
DO
NOT
use the Oximeter while the user is under MRI or CT
scanning. This device is NOT MRI Compatible.
Discomfort or pain may appear if using the Oximeter continuously
on the same location for a long time, especially for user with poor
microcirculation. It is recommended that the Oximeter should not
be applied to the same location for longer than 2 hours. If any
abnormal condition is found, please change the position of
Oximeter.
The light (the infrared light is invisible) emitted from the device is
harmful to the eyes. Do not stare at the light.
The Oximeter is not a treatment device.
Local laws and regulations must be followed when disposing of the
device.
Keep the Oximeter away from dust, vibration, corrosive substances,
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
operation until it is dry and checked for correct operation. When it
is carried from a cold environment to a warm and humid
environment, please do not use it immediately. Allow at least 15
minutes for Oximeter to reach ambient temperature.
DO
NOT
operate the button on the front panel with sharp
materials or sharp point.
DO
NOT
use high temperature or high-pressure steam disinfection
on the Oximeter. Refer to Chapter 8 for instructions regarding
cleaning and disinfection.
Pay attention to the effects of lint, dust, light (including sunlight),
etc.
1 Overview
1.1 Intended Use
This Fingertip Oximeter is intended for measuring the pulse rate and
functional oxygen saturation (SpO
2
) through a user’s finger.

2 Battery Installation
1. Refer to Figure 2, insert two AAA
size batteries into the battery
compartment properly, and note
the polarity markings.
2. Replace the cover.
Attentions:
•
Make sure that the batteries
are correctly installed. Incorrect installation may cause the
device not to work.
•
Remove batteries if the device is not being used for more than 7
days to prevent and avoid potential damage from the battery
leaking. Any such damage is not covered under the product
warranty.
3 Start/Stop Measuring
1. Open the clip and put finger inside the clip (make sure the finger is
in the correct position), and then release the clip.
2. Wait for 2 seconds, the
oximeter will power on
and start to measure.
3. The display screen shows
the measurement.
4. Get the finger out, and the device will automatically power off.
Attentions for measuring:
Do not shake the finger and relax during measurement.
Do not put wet finger directly into sensor.
Avoid placing the device on the same limb which is wrapped with a
cuff for blood pressure measurement or during venous infusion.
Do not let anything block the emitting light from device, i.e. do not
use finger nail polish/paints.
Existence of high intensive light sources, such as fluorescence light,
ruby lamb, infrared heater or strong sunshine, etc. may cause
inaccuracy of measurement result. Please put an opaque cover on
the sensor or change the measuring site if necessary.
Vigorous exercise and electrosurgical device interference may
affect the measuring accuracy.
Nail polish may affect the measuring accuracy, and too long
fingernail may cause failure of measurement or inaccurate result.
If the first reading appears with poor waveform (irregular or not
smooth), then the reading is unlikely true, the more stable value is
expected by waiting for a while, or a restart is needed when
necessary.
If the measurements over the limits, there is a reminder sound. You
can press the Display key to mute it, or wait for 10 seconds till the
sound disappears by itself.

5 Menu Setup
During measuring, long pressing Display key can enter the setup
menu screen.

Menu operating procedures:
1.
Shortly press Display Key to choose the setting item;
2.
Long press Display Key to active the setting item, then shortly press
it to modify the setting parameter;
3.
Long press Display Key to confirm the modification and exit from
this setting item.
4.
Move the setting item to “Exit”, and long pressing Display Key to
store the modification and exit from the setup menu.
“Beep”
：
Pulse beep option. If it is set to on, every pulse beat makes a
beep.
Spot check mode
: the measuring time lasts 30 seconds with a
counting-down indication. The SpO
2
and PR readings will freeze at the
end of 30 seconds, the analysis result for the pulse rhythm will be
displayed on the screen as well.
6 Record List
A single group of stable readings will be recorded in the record list
each time when the oximeter shuts down regardless of spot-check
or continuous mode. However, if the time from displaying valid
readings to the end of measurement is less than 5 seconds, then no
recording will be done.
Up to 12 groups of records can be stored in the record list, the
newest record is marked as M1, and the oldest record is marked as
M12. The new record will override the previous record.
When batteries are removed from the device all readings will be
deleted.
On power off status, long pressing the Display key shows the
record list screen. On record list screen, a short pressing on the
Display key can shift the records display, and if there is no key
operation for 6 seconds, then the oximeter will power off
automatically again.
