CHAPTER 1 INTRODUCTION
1.1 Brief Introduction
Thank you for purchasing the handheld pulse oximeter for SpO
2
and Pulse Rate (PR) measurement. The pulse oximeter features PR tone modulation, data storage and data transmission capabilities.
Please read the operator's manual carefully before using this instrument.
Intended use
: The purpose and function of the handheld pulse oximeter is to indicate measure and display the functional oxygen saturation of arterial hemoglobin (SpO
2
) and pulse rate for adults and
pediatric patients in hospital, ambulatory, home, and EMS (emergency medical service) environments. The pulse oximeter is intended for spot-checking these levels and not indicated for continuous
monitoring. It can assist the clinician diagnostically by quickly displaying the patient’s %SpO
2
and pulse rate and can additionally store 72 hours of data.
Measurement principle
The principle of pulse oximetry is based on the red and infrared (IR) light absorption of oxygenated and deoxygenated hemoglobin present in the circulating blood. Oxygenated hemoglobin absorbs
more IR and allows more red light to pass through. Deoxygenated hemoglobin conversely absorbs more red light and allows IR light to pass through. The detector probe is placed on the finger. The
probe contains two light emitting diodes (LED’s), one in the visible red spectrum (660nm) and one in the IR spectrum (940 nm). The beams of light from this probe pass through the tissues and some
light is absorbed by the blood and soft tissues depending on hemoglobin concentration. The amount of light absorption at each light frequency is dependent on the degree of oxygenation of
hemoglobin within the tissues.
The microprocessor can select out the absorbance of the pulsatile fraction of blood, i.e. that due to arterial blood, from constant absorbance due to non-pulsatile venous or capillary blood and other
tissue pigments

1.2 Safety Information
Warning, Precaution and Notice
Warning, Precaution and Notice in the manual are special information that prompts the operator’s attention.
Warning - Information concerning something that could possibly hurt the patient or operator.
Precaution - Reminds the user to pay close attention to device operation, failure of which may cause abnormal function of the instrument.
Notice - Informs the user of other important information by suggestion, requirement and supplement.
Warning
Please read this manual carefully before using this device. The user must check that the equipment functions safely and ensure that it is in proper working condition before being used.
Do not use the pulse oximeter in an explosive atmosphere.
Do not use the pulse oximeter in an MRI or CT environment
The pulse oximeter is indicted for use by medical professionals only
The device has no SpO
2
alarms or PR alarms, it is not for continuous monitoring, as indicated by the symbol.
Prolonged use of the probe/sensor or the patient’s condition may require changing the sensor site periodically. Change the sensor site and check skin integrity, circulatory status, and correct
alignment at least every 4 hours. Prolonged use may cause blisters, skin deterioration, and discomfort.
When connecting this monitor to any instrument, verify proper operation before clinical use. Refer to the instrument’s user manual for full instructions. The equipment connected to the pulse
oximeter’s data interface must be certified according to the respective IEC standards, i.e., IEC950 for data processing equipment or IEC 601-1 for medical electrical equipment. All combinations of
equipment must be in compliance with IEC601-1-1 systems requirements.
