User Manual for OW1.0 Wrist Oximeter -22- 9 Appendix Common Knowledge for SpO2 Measurement 1 Meaning of SpO2 SpO2 is the saturation percentage of oxygen in the blood, so called O2 concentration in the blood; it is defined by the percentage of oxyhemoglobin (HbO2) in the total hemoglobin of the arterial blood. SpO2 is an important physiological parameter to reflect the respiration function; it is calculated by the following method: SpO2 = HbO2/ (HbO2 +Hb)×100% HbO2 are the oxyhemoglobins (oxygenized hemoglobin), Hb are those hemoglobins which release oxygen. 2 Principle of Measurement Based on Lamber-Beer law, the light absorbance of a given substance is directly proportional with its density 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 HbO2 and Hb have different absorption
User Manual for OW1.0 Wrist Oximeter -23- character in the spectrum range from red to infrared light (600nm~1000nm wavelength), by using these characteristics, SpO2 can be determined. Clinical application of pulse oximeters: SpO2 is an important physiological parameter to reflect the respiration and ventilation function, so SpO2 monitoring used in treatment has become more popular. (For example, such as monitoring patients with serious respiratory disease, patients under anesthesia during operation and premature and neonatal infants) The status of SpO2 can 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 (interference 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
User Manual for OW1.0 Wrist Oximeter -24-  Excessive patient movement  Placement of a sensor on an extremity with a blood pressure cuff, arterial catheter, or intravascular line  Exposure to the chamber with High pressure oxygen  There is an arterial occlusion proximal to the sensor  Blood vessel contraction caused by peripheral vessel hyperkinesias or body temperature decreasing 4 Factors causing low SpO2 Measuring value (pathology reason)  Hypoxemia disease, functional lack of HbO2  Pigmentation or abnormal oxyhemoglobin level  Abnormal oxyhemoglobin variation  Methemoglobin disease  Sulfhemoglobinemia or arterial occlusion exists near sensor  Obvious venous pulsations  Peripheral arterial pulsation becomes weak  Peripheral blood supply is not enough
