Introduction

General

This chapter provides a general description of the Fingertip Pulse Oximeter including:

• Brief device description
• Product features

Indication for use/ intended use

The Pulse Oximeter is a non-invasive device intended for spot checking of functional oxygen saturation of arterial hemoglobin (SpO2) and pulse rate (PR). This portable device is indicated for sport and aviation use, not in clinical institution.

Brief Device Description

The Fingertip Pulse Oximeter, based on all digital technology, is intended for noninvasive spot-check measurement of functional oxygen saturation of arterial hemoglobin (SpO2). Advanced DSP algorithm* can minimize the influence of motion artifact and improve measurement accuracy of low perfusion*. The Oximeter can be used to measure human Hemoglobin Saturation and heart rate through finger. The product is suitable for family, sport, aviation and etc.

Product Features

• Lightweight for carrying and Easy-To-Use.
• Color OLED display, simultaneous display for testing value and plethysmogram*.
• Low Perfusion : 0.3%. (Advanced DSP algorithm can improve measurement accuracy, under the condition of low perfusion.)
• Visual & Sound reminder function. Real-time spot-checks.
• Low Battery voltage indicator.
• Automatically switch off.
• Standard two AAA 1.5V Alkaline Bаttеrу support more than 20 hours continuous work.

CAUTION

• The device can not be used to measure the child below 3 years as the test result is not guarantee to accurate.
• The fingertip pulse oximeter is intended only as an adjunct in user assessment. It must be used in conjunction with other methods of assessing clinical signs and symptoms.
• A function tester cannot be used to assess the accuracy of a Fingertip Pulse Oximeter monitor or sensor. Clinical testing is used to establish the SpO2 accuracy. The measured arterial hemoglobin saturation value (SpO2) of the sensor is compared to arterial hemoglobin oxygen(SaO2) value, determined from blood samples with a laboratory CO-oximeter. The accuracy of the sensors in comparison to the CO-oximeter samples measured over the SpO2 range of 70 -100%. Accuracy data is calculated using the root-mean-square(Arms value) for all subjects. Only about two-thirds of FINGERTIP PULSE OXIMETER EQUIPMENT measurements can be expected to fall within ±Arms of the value measured by a CO-Oximeter.
• Pulse simulator shall be used to assess Pulse rate Accuracy. The measured pulse rate is compared to the preset pulse rate value in simulator. Accuracy data is calculated using the root-mean-square (Arms value) for all subjects.
• DSP algorithm: Digital signal processor algorithm.
• Low Perfusion: In physiology, perfusion is the process of a body delivering blood to a capillary bed in its biological tissue. Under the condition of low perfusion, the measurement of non-invasive saturation of pulse-blood oxygen is low-accurate.
• Plethysmograph: is an instrument for measuring changes in volume within an organ or whole body (usually resulting from fluctuations in the amount of blood or air it contains).

PI （Perfusion Index ）is the ratio of the pulsatile blood flow to the non-pulsatile static blood flow in a body’s peripheral tissue, such as finger tip, toe, or ear lobe. Perfusion index is an indication of the pulse strength at the sensor site.

Part Definition and Description

Display

After switch on, the OLED display of the Fingertip Pulse Oximeter is as follows:

Parameter setting

When the device is under measuring interface, press the select button for 1 second in order to enter into menu page (figure 3.3.1 and figure 3.3.2 ). There are two submenus for choice:

 Remind Setup

Press the select button for 1 second and enter into the Remind Setup menu. User can adjust the setting through moving the “*” symbol to the back of the Sound Reminder, Beep, Restore or Brightness.

• Sound Reminder
  Press the select button to move the “*” symbol to the back of Sound Reminder, long press the select button to turn it on/off.
  (Note: If the measured value exceeds the maximum or minimum value of SPO2 or PR, there will give off sound when sound reminder is turned on.)
• Beep
  Press the select button to move the “*” symbol to the back of Beep, long press the select button to turn it on/off.
  (Note: When Beep is turned on, the sound emitted during the test indicates the pulse rate sound)
• Restore
  When the “*” symbol show behind “Restore”, long press the select button can be changed to “OK”, which causes the device to restore factory data setting.
• Demo
  Press the select button to move the “*” symbol to the back of Demo, long press the select button to turn it on/off.
• Brightness
  When the “*” symbol show on “Brightness”, long press the select button to change the Brightness value from 1 to 5.

Limit Value Setting
When the * symbol show on the Reminder Setup, long press the select button until enter into the Remind Limit setup menu (figure 3.3.2). User can press the select button to select the items. And press the select button for 1 second to change the data you need.
On the Reminder Limit setup menu page (figure 3.3.2), when the * symbol show behind the “+/-”. Press select button for 1 second to change the “+” to “-” or change the “-” to “+”.
When “+” shows on the right side, move the “*” after the Spo2 Hi or PR Hi setting and long press the select button for 1 second can increase the value to a higher value (until it reaches to the highest.)
When “-” shows on the right side, move the “*” after the Spo2 Lo or PR Lo value setting and long press the select button for 1second can reduce the value to a lower value (untill it reaches to the lowest).

Note:

1. The sound reminder have 1 second delay after the incorrect result being detected.
2. The customer can preset the limit value to the 98 or 99 to check whether it is normal for sound reminder setting.

The Pulse Oximeter is intended for use in the electromagnetic environment specified below. The customer or the user of the Pulse Oximetershould assure that it is used in such an environment.

Guidance and manufacturer´s declaration – electromagnetic immunity –for EQUIPMENT and SYSTEM that are not LIFE-SUPPORTING

NOTE 1 At 80 MHz and 800 MHz, the higher frequency range applies.
NOTE 2 These guidelines may not apply in all situations. Electromagnetic is affected by absorption and reflection from structures, objects and people.

a Field strengths from fixed transmitters, such as base stations for radio (cellular/cordless) telephones and land mobile radios, amateur radio, AM and FM radio broadcast and TV broadcast cannot be predicted theoretically with accuracy. To assess the electromagnetic environment due to fixed RF transmitters, an electromagnetic site survey should be considered. If the measured field strength in the location in which the Pulse Oximeter is used exceeds the applicable RF compliance level above, the Pulse Oximeter should be observed to verify normal operation. If abnormal performance is observed, additional measures may be necessary, such as reorienting or relocating the Pulse Oximeter.
b Over the frequency range 150 kHz to 80 MHz, field strengths should be less than 3V/m.
