Intended use

The Advantage™ 2200 is intended to measure blood oxygen saturation (%SpO2) – the amount of oxygen
in your blood - and pulse rate. It is designed for use on fingers (not the thumb) with a thickness
of 8mm to 20mm (.31” to .79”), this is the distance between the fingernail (top) and finger pad
(bottom). The index finger is most recommended. This device is intended for sport and aviation
purposes only.

Contraindications:

• The patient suffers from significant levels of dysfunctional hemoglobins (such as
carbonxy-hemoglobin or methemoglobin).

• Intravascular dyes such as indocyanine green or methylene blue have been injected
into the patient.

• Used in the presence of high ambient light (ie, direct sunlight). Shield the sensor area
with a surgical towel if necessary.

• There is excessive patient movement.

• The patient experiences venous pulsations.

• The patient has hypotension, severe vasoconstriction, severe anemia, or hypothermia.

• The patient is in cardiac arrest or is in shock.

• Patients have fingernail polish or false fingernails as they may cause inaccurate SpO2
readings.
