• Fold the pad of the emitter probe over the tip of the patient’s finger. Separate
the window of the emitter so that it is diametrically opposite the window of
the detector.
• Fold the adhesive wings downwards around the finger. Do not pull or stretch
the adhesive tape. Check that the positioning lines of the emitter and of the
detector are aligned.
• Connect the sensor to the instrument: insert the connector with the arrow on
the connector face-up and control the correct functioning according to the
previous instructions.

Making a Test
Use  to select “Oximetry (SpO2/BPM)” from the oximetry tests list.
The display shows: “Oximetry (SpO2/BPM)”. The test duration is unlimited and the aim is to record variations of the
oximetry values during a period as decided by the doctor.
If the finger is removed from the sensor during the test, the following message will appear:
WARNING
Searching for signal, finger not inserted correctly
To end test, press
To print data see Paragraph 3.1.2; see example of the test printout report attached to this Manual.
2.11 FILE ORGANIZATION
The memory of the spirometer is a ‘string’ of memory areas called records, each of which contain information regarding
a single test session.
More specifically, each record is made up as follows:
• Demographic details of the subject
• Date, time and ambient temperature at the time of the FVC test
• Reproducibility and quality control test information
• Parameters stored with the FVC test:
o FVC, FEV1, PEF, FEF75, FEF2575, FET, *PEF, *FVC, *FEV1, FEV1%, FEV6, FEV6%, FEV1/FEV6%,
FEF25, FEF50, Vext, FIVC, FIV1, FIV1%, PIF, FEV1%/VC%
• Parameters stored with the VC test:
o VC, IVC, * (VC or IVC), ERV, IC, TV, VE, fr, ti, te, TV/ti, te/tt
• Parameters stored with the MVV test:
o MVV
• Points of the expiratory part and (if present) the inspiratory part of the Flow/Volume curves, plus the points of the
Volume/time curve.
• Parameters stored with the SpO2 test (in relation with the test recorded, see also paragraph 1.6.2):
