Handheld Pulse Oximeter
Cautions
● The oximeter is not an apnea monitor.
● The oximeter determines the percentage of arterial oxygen saturation
of functional hemoglobin. Significant levels of dysfunctional
hemoglobin such as carboxyhemoglobin or methemoglobin may
affect the accuracy of the measurement.
● Cardiogreen and intravascular dyes, depending on the concentration,
may affect the accuracy of SpO
2
measurements.
● The performance of the oximeter might be affected by the presence
of a debrillator.
● The oximeter may not work on all subjects. If you are unable to
achieve stable readings, discontinue use.
● The oximeter has monition tolerant software that minimizes the
likelihood of motion artifact being misinterpreted as good pulse
quality. In some circumstances, however, the oximeter may still
interpret motion as good pulse quality. Minimize subject motion as
much as possible.
● Verify that all visible indicators illuminate during the startup
(initialization) sequence, if any indicator is not lit do not use the
oximeter. Please contact your agent for help.
● Do not immerse the oximeter or probes in liquid to clean, and also
do not expose them to excessive moisture or liquids.
●
Do not use caustic or abrasive cleaning agents on the oximeter or probes.
● Do not mix new and old batteries at the same time. It may cause the
batteries to leak. Disposed of batteries properly.
● Batteries might leak chemicals if unused for a long period of time.
Remove the batteries if the oximeter is going to be stored for more
than one month.
● Batteries may leak or explode if used or disposed of improperly.
● The oximeter is a precision electronic instrument and must be
repaired by trained personnel only.
● Follow local governing ordinances and recycling instructions regards
disposal or recycling of the device and device components.
