If it is determined that you need to ship the unit back, it is highly recommended that you
pack the product in its original shipping carton and packing materials, provided that they are still useable. If
the original packaging is not available, select a sturdy corrugated carton large enough to hold whatever items
you are returning, and also to allow 4 to 6 inches of packing material on all sides of the items. Whether you
use the original packaging or an appropriate substitute, please follow these packing instructions:
1. Remove all hoses, cables, power cords and any other accessories from the instrument and, if possible.
Note: if you are using substitute packaging, it is essential that you seal the instrument in a clean, static
free plastic bag or in clean bubble wrap in order to prevent packing material from entering the product.
2. Pack only the accessories you are requested to return; place them in a separate bag.
3. If you are using substitute packaging, create a foundation of 4 to 6 inches of packing material (either
bubble wrap or packing "peanuts") at the bottom of the carton.
4. Insert the instrument and the accessory bag into the shipping carton.
5. If you are using substitute packaging, fill the 4 sides and the top of the carton with 4 to 6 inches of packing
material (either bubble wrap or packing "peanuts"). Ensure that the instrument and accessory bag are held
firmly in place by the packing material.
6. Please place paperwork such as the purchase order, contact info and reasons for return in the top of the
carton.
7. Close the carton and securely seal it with tape; since in most cases the carton will have been previously
used, it may be necessary to reinforce the original tape on the bottom of the carton.
8. Ship the product via whatever carrier (UPS, FedEx, etc.) is most convenient. However, please be aware
that, depending on where you are shipping from, standard UPS ground shipping could take as long as 7
business days. Unless other arrangements are made, mtk will return the repaired product to
you via UPS.
Additional Instructions for International Shipments
9. Shipping insurance is optional. Claims for damage to the product during shipping must be initiated by the
shipper.
Customers outside the United States must include a "pro-forma invoice" for customs purposes as part of their
shipping documents. It is imperative that the name of the product appears exactly as follows:
SmartArm Test Equipment
Or
SmartSat Test Equipment
The use of any other product name could add unnecessary delays when shipping internationally.

To maintain battery life, it is recommended that the battery be cycled (discharged and fully recharged) after
every 30 hours of use. This will provide optimum battery performance throughout the life of the battery.
For optimum SmartSat performance, it is recommended that the SmartSat be allowed to "warm up" for 5
minutes before use.
For accurate results, it is recommended that you use the oximeter interface cables provided with the
SmartSat. If you should damage or misplace these cables, please contact the factory for replacement. Use
of cables other than those provided by mtk may result in inaccurate test results.

Section 1. Introduction
General
Intended Audience
1-1
The SmartSat Pulse Oximetry Analyzer is the first test system available to test both the probe and pulse
oximeter independently. This method allows the user to diagnose problems to either the probe or pulse
oximeter. The SmartSat has two probe test modes and a SpO2 simulator mode with user programmable
Auto Sequences for automated testing.
The first probe test is the Probe Continuity Test. This tests the probe for opens, shorts, and intermittent
probe problems. The Probe Continuity Test provides an electrical integrity test of the probe.
The second probe test is the Probe Sensitivity Test. This tests the sensitivity of the RED and IR LEDS and
the ratio of the Red to IR sensitivity. This test is valuable for testing a probe during its functional life. The
user can then determine if the probe is within an acceptable sensitivity range.
The SpO2 Simulator tests the pulse oximeter through a complete range. The full featured SpO2 simulator
provides the following features: Oxygen Saturation; Pulse Rate; R-Curves for testing pulse oximeters and
user programmable Auto Sequences for automated testing.
In addition to these testing features, the SmartSat incorporates a high-resolution graphic display, an internal
battery, built in probe test ports and a compact, lightweight enclosure.
The Operation Manual is intended for end users of the SmartSat Pulse Oximetry Analyzer. It contains
installation and operation instructions, applications notes, performance limitations and routine performance
verification procedures. To achieve satisfactory results, it is imperative that the operator read this manual
thoroughly before attempting to use the SmartSat.
