Thank you very much for purchasing our product. Please
read the manual very carefully before using this device.
Failure to follow these instructions can cause measuring
abnormality or dama ge to the oximeter.

Warnings
Check the device before using it to make sure
that there is n o visible d amage which may affect
user’s safety or its performance with regard to
sensors and clips. It is recommended that the
device should be inspected minimally once a
week. When 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.
An uncomfortable or painful feeling may appear
if the oximeter is used continuously on the same
place for a long time, especially for poor
microcirculation patients.
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 placing site of oximeter.
Avoid pla cin g th e d evic e on th e s ame limb which
is wrapped with a cuff for blood pressure
measurement or during venous infusion.

DO NOT clip this device on edema or tender
tissue.
The light (the infrar ed li ght is invisible) emitting
from the device is harmful to the eyes, so service
technician or test ee should not star e at the light.
The oximeter is not a treatment device.
When disposing of this device and its
accessories, the local law should be followed.
Instructions for Operation
The finger should be put in properly and correctly.
Do not shake the finger. Keep at ease during
measurement.
Do not put wet finger directly into sensor.
Do n ot let anythin g block the emittin g light from
the device.
Ensure that there is artery vessel within
mea su r i ng site where the light transmits th r o ugh.
Vigorous exercise and the interference from the
electrosurgical device may affect the measuring
accuracy.
Nail polish may affect the measuring accuracy,
and too long fingernail may cause failure of
measurement or inaccurate result.

User Manual for Fingertip Oximeter
IV
Keep the oximeter away from dust, vibration,
corrosive substances, explosive materials, high
temperature and moisture.
Existen ce of high intensi ve 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.
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 n eeded when
necessary.

B. SpO2 Common Knowledge
1. Meaning of SpO
2
SpO2 is the saturati on percent age of oxygen in th e blood,
so called O
2
concentration in the blood; it is defined by
the percentage of oxyhemoglobin (HbO
2
) in the total
hemoglobin of the arterial blood. SpO
2
is an important
physiologi c al p aram eter t o reflect the respiration function;
it is calculated by the followi ng method:
SpO
2
= HbO2/ (HbO2 +Hb)×100%
HbO
2
are the oxyhemoglobins (oxygenized
hemoglobin), Hb are those hemoglobins which release
oxygen.
2. Principle o f Me asurement
Based on Lamber-Beer law, the light absorbance of a
given subs tance is dir ect ly pr oporti on al with it s d ensit y or
concentration. When the light with certain wavelength
emits on human tissue, the measured intensity of light
after absorption, reflecting and attenuation in tissue can
reflect the structure character of the tissue by which the
light passes. Due to that oxygenated hemoglobin (HbO
2
)

User Manual for Fingertip Oximeter
19
and deoxygenated hemoglobin (Hb) have different
absorption character in the spectrum range from red to
infrared light (600nm~1000nm wavelength), by using
these characteristics, SpO
2
can be determined. SpO2
measured by this oximeter is the functional oxygen
saturation -- a percentage of the hemoglobin that can
transport oxygen. In contrast, hemoximeters report
fractional oxygen saturation – a percentage of all
measured hemoglobin, including dysfunctional
hemoglobin, such as carboxyhemoglobin or
metahemoglobin.
Clinical application of pulse oximeters: SpO
2
is an
important physiological parameter to reflect the
respiration and ventilation function, so SpO
2
monitoring
used in t re at m en t h as b ecom e more popula r. (For ex a mp l e,
such as monitoring patients with serious respiratory
disease, patients under anesthesia during operation and
premature and neonatal infants) The st atus of SpO
2
c an be
determined in timely manner by measurement and will
allow finding the hypoxemia patient earlier, thereby
preventing or reducing accidental death caused by
hypoxia effectively.

3. Factors affecting SpO2 measuring accuracy
(interferen ce reason)
Intravascular dyes such as indocyanine green or
methylene blue
Exposure to excessive illumination, such as surgical
lamps, bilirubin lamps, fluorescent lights, infrared
heating lamps, or direct sunlight.
Vascular dyes or external used color-up product
such as nail enamel or color skin care
Excessive patient movement
Plac ement of a sensor on an extremity with a blood
pressure cuff, arterial cathete r, or intravascular line
