When connecting this device to other peripherals, make sure that you are quali
fi
ed to
operate this device. Any peripheral must be certi
fi
ed according to the protocol of IEC 950
and IEC 601-1-1. Any input/output device should follow the protocol of IEC 601-1-1.
●
Considering the probe is a sensitive device, please strictly follow the probe application
instructions.
●
The malfunction of the probe may cause inaccurate data which serves as a foundation to
treat patients, so make sure to pay more attention to the probe and inspect it usually.
●
The worn-out data cables may cause inaccurate data which is used as a reference to treat
patients, so please pay attention to the data cable and check it frequently.
●
Do not touch the AC adapter with wet hands. Otherwise, you may suffer electric shock.
●
The disposable accessories should not be cycled.
●
Clean the probe with an H
2
O solution and a neutral detergent. Do not submerge the probe.
Do not use the probe in autoclave (sterilizer).
●
This device is intended for use by persons trained in professional health care. The operator
must be thoroughly familiar with the information in this manual before using the device.
●
Before cleaning or disinfecting the probe, unplug it from the pulse oximeter to prevent
probe or pulse oximeter from being damaged, and to protect user under safety situation.
●
To avoid an electrical hazard, never immerse the unit in any liquid or attempt to clean
it with liquid cleaning agents. Always disconnect the device from the AC adapter before
performing cleaning of maintenance.
●
Alarm must be set up according to different situations of individual patient. Make sure that
chime sound can be activated when alarm function begins to work.

Notes:
●
Application of this device may in
fl
uence the measuring accuracy in the background of
electromagnetic areas such as electro-surgery environment.
●
SpO
2
measurements may be adversely affected in the presence of high ambient light.
Shield the probe area (with a surgical towel, for example) if necessary.
●
Dyes introduced into the bloodstream, such as methylene blue, indocyanine green, indigo
carmine, and
fl
uorescein, may adversely affect the accuracy of the SpO
2
reading.
●
Any condition that restricts blood
fl
ow, such as use of a blood pressure cuff or extremes in
systemic vascular resistance, may cause a failure to determine accurate pulse rate and
SpO
2
readings.
●
Remove
fi
ngernail polish or arti
fi
cial
fi
ngernails before applying SpO
2
probes. Fingernail
polish or arti
fi
cial
fi
ngernails may lead to inaccurate SpO
2
readings.
●
Hazards arising from software errors have been minimized. Hazard analysis conforms
to meet ISO14971: 2000 and EN60601-1-4: 1996. Signi
fi
cant levels of dysfunctional
hemoglogins, such as carboxyhemoglogin or methhemoglobin, will spawn an affection of
the accuracy of the SpO
2
measurement.
●
Optical cross-talk can occur when two or more probes are located in adjoining area. It can
be eliminated by covering each site with opaque material. Optical cross-talk may adversely
affect the accuracy of the SpO
2
readings.
