Safety and precautions for use

1. Do not use the Fingertip Pulse Oximeter near operational MRI or CT equipment.

2. Explosion hazard: Do not use the Fingertip Pulse Oximeter in an explosive atmosphere.

3. The Fingertip Pulse Oximeter is intended only as a supplementary tool in patient assessment. Patients should be

diagnosed in conjunction with clinical manifestations and symptoms.

4. Check the skin around the Fingertip Pulse Oximeter regularly to ensure that the circulation and skin are unaﬀected.

5. Do not drag the rubber surface against the skin while putting on or removing the Fingertip Pulse Oximeter sensor.. This may

cause inaccurate readings, injury or irritation.

6. Please read this manual carefully before operation and retain for future reference.

7. The Fingertip Pulse Oximeter is not designed for continuous monitoring.

8. Repeated use or the patient's condition may require changing the finger used periodically. Check skin condition, circulatory

status, and correct alignment at least every 2 hours.

9. Do not autoclave, use ethylene oxide for sterilizing or immersing the Oximeter in liquid.

10. Significant levels of dysfunctional haemoglobins (such as carboxyl-haemoglobin or methaemoglobin) may cause

inaccurate readings.

11. Intravascular dyes such as indocyanine green or methylene blue may cause inaccurate readings.

12. SpO2 measurements may be adversely aﬀected in the presence of high ambient light. Please shield the Oximeter from

direct sunlight or spot lights if necessary.

13. Finger movements or patient movement may cause inaccurate readings.

14. Electromagnetic interference, high frequency radio waves or interference caused by defibrillators may lead to inaccurate

readings.

15. Venous pulsations may cause inaccurate readings.

16. Inaccurate readings may be caused if the Oximeter is in the same limb where reduced blood flow are expected, for

example from a blood pressure cuﬀ, arterial catheter or intravascular line.

17. Hypotension, severe vasoconstriction, severe anaemia, or hypothermia may cause inaccurate readings.

18. Inaccurate readings may be displayed in patients administered with Cardiotonic drugs after cardiac arrest or if the patient

is experiencing heart quiver or flutter.

19. Painted nails may cause inaccurate SpO2 readings.

Scope of application / Intended use

The fingertip pulse Oximeter can be used to measure human haemoglobin saturation and pulse rate through the finger. It can

be used in hospitals, at home, in schools and medical centres.
