Warnings
0 Check the device to make sure that there is no
visible damage that may affect user’s safety or
measurement 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.
0 Special attention should be paid while the
oximeter is used continuously under the ambient
temperature exceeds 37°, burning hurt may occur
because of over-heating on the sensor.
0 An uncomfortable or painful feeling may appear
if using the oximeter continuously on the same
place for a long time, especially for poor
microcirculation patients.
0 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 position of oximeter.
0 Avoid placing the device on the same limb which
is wrapped with a cuff for blood pressure
measurement or during venous infusion.

0 DO NOT clip this device on edema or tender
tissue.
0 The light (the infrared light is invisible) emitted
from the device is harmful to the eyes, so service
technician or testee should not stare at the light.
0 The oximeter is not a treatment device.
0 When disposing of the monitor and its
accessories, the local law should be followed.
Instructions for Operation
y The finger should be put in properly and correctly.
y Do not shake the finger. Keep at ease during
measurement.
y Do not put wet finger directly into sensor.
y Avoid placing the device on the same limb which
is wrapped with a cuff for blood pressure
measurement or during venous infusion.
y Do not let anything block the emitting light from
device.
y Vigorous exercise and electrosurgical device
interference may affect the measuring accuracy.
y The orientation-sensor works on the basis of the
gravity. A small movable metal ball is built in the
orientation-sensor for detecting the orientation of

the oximeter. When you want to change the
oximeter’s display direction, if you move the
oximeter too slowly, the movable metal ball will
also move slowly because of not enough
acceleration. Consequently the response of
orientation detection would be delayed. Please
move the oximeter with a bit of force if you want
to change the display direction (such as
bend/extend your finger quickly), so an
acceleration is provided to the orientation-sensor
for quick sensing the orientation change.
y Using enamel or other makeup on the nail may
affect the accuracy of measurement, too long
fingernail may casue failure of measurement or
unaccuracy measurement result.
y Keep the oximeter away from dust, vibration,
corrosive substances, explosive materials, high
temperature and moisture.
y Existence of high intensive light sources, such as
fluorescence light, ruby lamb, infrared heater or
strong sunshire, etc. may cause unaccuracy of
measurement result. Please put an opaque cover
on the sensor or change the measuring site.
y 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 needed when
necessary.
Note: Due to the working principle of orientation sensor
used in oximeter, there is a small metal ball which is
movable within its compartment of the
orientation-sensor. Therefore you can hear a slight
“clatter” sound when you wave or shake the oximeter. It
is normal and not caused by unwanted part.

6.2 Battery Maintenance
y Keep the both sides of coin cell clean.
y Low temperature may decrease the performance
of coin cell, and low battery indicator may appear
early. In such case, please put coin cell into
pocket for warm before use, thus bring it back to
normal condition.
y Do not let any conductive metal (such as
tweezers) contact both sides of coin cell
simultaneously to avoid short circuit.
y Charge the coin cell for 8~10 hours each time;
ambient temperature should be 5~40℃.
y If the coin cell is full after charging, but its
performance decreases apparently, it means the
coin cell is exhausted, please change a new one.
6.3 Cleaning and Disinfecting Instruction
y Surface-clean sensor with a soft cloth by wetting
with a solution such as 75% isopropyl alcohol, if
low-level disinfection is required, use a 1:10
bleach solution.
y Then surface-clean by soft cloth wet with clean
water and let air dry or wipe it dry.
Caution: Do not sterilize by irradiation steam, or
ethylene oxide.
Do not use the sensor if it is damaged.

B SpO2 Common Knowledge
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 oxygenated hemoglobin (HbO2)
User Manual for Fingertip Oximeter
22
and deoxygenated hemoglobin (Hb) have different
absorption character in the spectrum range from red to
infrared light (600nm~1000nm wavelength), by using
these characteristics, SpO2 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: 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
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
User Manual for Fingertip Oximeter
24
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
