Chapter 1 Safety Information
This chapter contains important safety information related to general use of the Pulse Oximeter. Other important safety information appears throughout the manual in sections that relate specifically to the precautionary information.
Note
Important! Before use, carefully read this manual, all safety information and specifications.
This device is not intended for home use.
Federal Law (USA) restricts this device to sale by or on the order of a physician.
The Pulse Oximeter complies with Class-A requirements of the EN55011 standard.
Warning
This device is not intended as a device used for treatment purposes.
It is important for the hospital or organization that uses this equipment to carry out a reasonable maintenance schedule. Failure to do so may result in equipment failure, or injury to the patient or operators.
The Pulse Oximeter is intended only as an adjunct in patient assessment. It must be used in conjunction with clinical signs and symptoms.
1
Safety Information
Warning
The Pulse Oximeter is to be operated only by medical doctors or trained healthcare personnel to measure the SpO2 of clinical patients (including adult, pediatric and neonatal patients) in hospitals and healthcare agencies or in the process of transporting patients.
The Pulse Oximeter is designed for real-time and rapid measurement of the patient’s SpO2. It is not suitable for long-time continuous patient monitoring. Continual measurement must not exceed 2 hours.
Before using the Pulse Oximeter, the user should check and make sure the device and its accessories can work properly and safely.
When using the Pulse Oximeter together with the electrical surgery equipment, the user should pay attention to and guarantee safety of the patient being measured.
To avoid fire or explosion hazards, do not use the Pulse Oximeter at places where such flammable material as anesthesia gas is present.
Do not pull or lift the Pulse Oximeter by its connection cable. That may lead to device falling and consequent patient injuries.
It is not recommended to hang the Pulse Oximeter when transporting patients. Safety hazards may arise from the large amplitude swing during the transportation.
Do not use the Pulse Oximeter or its sensor around working MRI equipment. Induction current may lead to damages. The device may affect operation of MRI equipment and vice versa.
The Pulse Oximeter and its accessories may be contaminated by microorganism during transporting, use and storage. Use the
2
Safety Information
recommended methods to sterilize and disinfect the Pulse Oximeter or its accessories when the packing material is damaged, or it has not been used for a long time.
Caution
The Pulse Oximeter should be appropriately placed. Keep it from falling, strong vibration or other mechanical damage.
The Pulse Oximeter is a commonly sealed device. The user should keep its surface dry and clean, and prevent any liquid from infiltrating it.
Don’t use mobile phones around when the Pulse Oximeter is in operation.
The Pulse Oximeter should only be maintained by personnel approved by our company.
Before use the Pulse Oximeter on patients, the user should be familiar with its operation.

Chapter 2 General
2.1 Introduction
The Pulse Oximeter is a portable measuring device powered by common or rechargeable batteries. It is compact, light, flexible to use and easy to learn.
Parameters measured by the Pulse Oximeter include: arterial oxygen saturation (SpO2), pulse rate (PR) and pulse strength. The Pulse Oximeter measures these parameters through a SpO2 sensor and displays them on the LCD screen after certain further processing.
The Pulse Oximeter is operated and controlled by three buttons, which are Power button, Backlight button and Confirm ID button. The Pulse Oximeter is also capable of managing measured data and transmitting the patient’s trend through the dual-purpose socket to a PC for printing.
2.2 Functions
The Pulse Oximeter has the following functions: Measuring: SpO2, PR and pulse strength;
Prompting: Memory full, ID full, low battery, standby, and technical error etc.
Power managing: automatic standby, automatic shutdown; Data Managing: data storage, data protection, data deletion; Data Printing: patient information and trend data;
For the data printing function, you must install the Pulse Oximeter management system in a PC equipped with a printer, and connect the Pulse Oximeter with the PC by a communication cable.
