• An uncomfortable or painful feeling may occur if using the device
ceaselessly, especially for the micro-circulation barrier patients. It is
recommended that the sensor should not be applied to the same
finger for over 2 hours.

• For the individual patients, there should be a more prudent in­specting in the placing process. The device cannot be clipped on the
edema and tender tissue.

• The light (the infrared is invisible) emitted from the device is harm­ful to the eyes, so the user and technician, should not stare at the light.

• Patient should not use enamel or other makeup.

• Patient’s fingernail should not be too long.

1. SAFETY

1.1 Instructions for Safe Operations

» Check the main unit and all accessories periodically to
make sure that there is no visible damage that may affect
user’s safety and monitoring performance about cables and
transducers. It is recommended that the device should be
inspected once a week at least. When there is obvious damage,
stop using the monitor.
» Necessary maintenance must be performed by qualified
service engineers ONLY. Users are not permitted to maintain
it by themselves. For the individual patients, there should be
a more prudent inspecting in the placing process. The device
cannot be clipped on the edema and tender tissue.

8

» The oximeter cannot be used together with devices not
specified in User’s Manual. Only the accessory recommended
and suppled by the manufacture can be used with this device.
» This product is calibrated before leaving factory.

1.2 Warnings

» 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 patient is measured by
MRI and CT.
» The person who is allergic to rubber cannot use this device.
» The disposal of scrap instrument and its accessories and

9

packing (including battery, plastic bags, foams and paper
boxes) should follow the local laws and regulations.
» Please check the packing before use to make sure the
device and accessories are totally in accordance with the pack­ing list, or else the device may have the possibility of working
abnormally.

1.3 Attentions

» Keep the oximeter away from dust, vibration, corrosive
substances, explosive materials, high temperature and mois­ture.
» If the oximeter gets wet, please stop operating it.
» When it is carried from cold environment to warm or

10

humid environment, please do not use it immediately.
» DO NOT operate keys on front panel with sharp materials.
» High temperature or high pressure steam disinfection
of the oximeter is not permitted. Refer to User Manual in the
relative chapter for instructions of cleaning and disinfection.
» Do not have the oximeter immersed in liquid. When it
needs cleaning, please wipe its surface with medical alcohol by
soft material. Do not spray any liquid on the device directly.
» When cleaning the device with water, the temperature
should be lower than 140°F (60°C).
» As to the fingers which are too thin or too cold, it would
probably affect the normal measure of the patients’ SpO2
and pulse rate, please clip the thick finger such as thumb and

11

middle finger deeply enough into the probe.
» Do not use the device on infant or neonatal patients.
» The product is suitable for children above four years old
and adults.
» The device may not work for all patients. If you are unable
to achieve stable readings, discontinue use.
» The update period of data is less than 5 seconds, which is
changeable according to different individual pulse rate.
» The waveform is normalized. Please read the measured
value when the waveform on screen is equably and steady-go­ing. Here this measured value is optimal value. And the wave­form at the moment is the standard one.
» If some abnormal conditions appear on the screen during

12

test process, pull out the finger and reinsert to restore normal
use.
» The device has normal useful life for three years since the
first electrified use.
» The hanging rope attached the product is made from
Non- allergy material, if particular group are sensitive to the
hanging rope, stop using it. In addition, pay attention to the
use of the hanging rope, do not wear it around the neck to
avoid potential patient injury.
» The instrument does not have low-voltage alarm function;
it only shows the low-voltage. Please change the battery when
the low battery warning appears.
» Batteries must be removed if the device is going to be

13

stored for more than one month, or else batteries may leak.
» A flexible circuit connects the two parts of the device. Do
not twist or pull on the connection.

1.4 Indications for Use

The Clini-Ox II Fingertip Pulse Oximeter is a non-invasive device
intended for the spot-check of oxygen saturation of arterial hemo­globin (SpO2) and the pulse rate of adult and pediatric patients in
home and hospital environments (including clinical use in internist/
surgery, anesthesia, intensive care ect.). This device is not intended
for continuous monitoring.

14

2. OVERVIEW

The pulse oxygen saturation is the percentage of HbO2 in the total
Hb in the blood, so-called the O2 concentration in the blood. It is
an important bio-parameter for the respiration. For the purpose of
measuring the SpO2 more easily and accurately, the Clini-Ox II Pulse
Oximeter was developed. At the same time, the device can measure
the pulse rate simultaneously.

The Clini-Ox II Pulse Oximeter convenient operation, low power
consumption, and is compact and portable. It is only necessary for
patient to put one of his fingers into a fingertip photoelectric sen­sor for diagnosis, and a display screen will directly show measured
value of Hemoglobin Saturation.

2.1 Classification

» Class II b, (MDD93/42/EEC IX Rule 10)

2.2 Features

» Operation of the product is simple and convenient.
» The product is small in volume, light in weight (total
weight is about 1.8oz (50g) including batteries) and conve­nient in carrying.
» Power consumption of the product is low and the two
originally equipped AAA batteries can be operated continu­ously for 20 hours.
» The product will automatically be powered off when no
signal is in the product within 5 seconds.

16

» 4 directions display mode without waveform.
» Waveform display mode as line drawing or filling manner.

The product is not suitable for use in continuous supervision
for patients.

The problem of overrating would emerge when the patient
is suffering from toxicosis which caused by carbon monoxide,
the device is not recommended to be used under this circum­stance.
