5 Notices
Notices triggered by a vital sign that appears abnormal or by technical problems of the Pulse Oximeter, are presented to the user by visual
and audible notice indications.
5.1 Notice Categories
By nature, the pulse oximeter’s notices can be classified into three categories: physiological notices, technical notices and prompt
messages.
1. Physiological notices
Physiological notices, also called patient status notices, are triggered by a monitored parameter value that violates set notice limits or an
abnormal patient condition.
2. Technical notices
Technical notices, also called system status notices, are triggered by a device malfunction or a patient data distortion due to improper
operation or system problems.
3. Prompt messages
In fact, prompt messages are not notice messages, which are displayed in the technical notice area. Apart from the physiological and
technical messages, the pulse oximeter will show some messages which indicate the system status.
5.2 Notice Levels
By severity, the pulse oximeter’s physiological notices can be classified into three categories: high level notices, medium level notices
and low level notices.
1. High level notices
Indicate that the patient is in a life threatening situation and an emergency treatment is demanded.
2. Medium level notices
Indicate that the patient’s vital signs appear abnormal and an immediate treatment is required.
5.3 Notice Indicators
When an notice occurs, the pulse oximeter will indicate it through the following indications:
Notice lamp
Notice tone
Notice message
The notice lamp,tone and messages will be indicated differently according to different notice levels.
5.3.1 Notice Lamp
If a technical or a physiological notice occurs, the notice lamp will flash. The flashing color and frequency match the notice level as
follows:
High level notices: the lamp quickly flashes red.
Medium level notices the lamp slowly flashes yellow.
5.3.2 Notice Tones
When a technical or a physiological notice occurs, the pulse oximeter presents different notice tone patterns to match the notice level:

HS10A Pulse Oximeter Operator’s Manual HS10A-03-RDP-004 V4.0
Copy Right. Hunan Accurate Bio-Medical Technology Co., Ltd Page 19 / Total 36
High level notices: triple + double + triple + double beep
Medium level notices: triple beep.
5.3.3 Notice Messages
When an notice occurs, an notice message will appear in the technical or physiological notice area.
NOTE
When multiple notices of different levels occur simultaneously, the pulse oximeter will select the notice of the highest level and
give visual and audible notice indications accordingly.
5.4 Notice Tone Configuration
5.4.1 Switch ON/OFF Notice Volume
To switch ON/OFF notice volume:
1.Press the [SET] button to jump to the [Aln].
2.Press the [Up] button and repeat 21 times.
3.Press the [Up]/[Down] button, and set to a status: ON or OFF
4.Press the Power button for 1 second, the menu screen will quickly return to the measurement interface.
WARNING
When the notice sound is switched off, the pulse oximeter will give no audible notice tones even if a new notice occurs.
Therefore the user should be very careful about whether to switch off the notice sound or not.
Do not rely exclusively on the audible notice system for patient monitoring. Adjusting notice volume to a low level may
result in a hazard to the patient. Always keep the patient under close surveillance.
5.4.2 Pausing the Notice Tones
To pause the notice tones, press the key for 1 second.
In this case:
The audible notice is paused, but the key remains lit and the notice messages remain displayed
The remaining notice pause time is 60 seconds
5.5 When an Notice Occurs
When an notice occurs, observe the following steps to take proper actions:
1. Check the patient’s condition.
2. Confirm the notice parameter or notice category.
3. Identify the source of the notice.
4. Take proper action to eliminate the notice condition.
5. Make sure the notice condition is corrected.
For troubleshooting specific notices, see appendix D Notice Messages.

6 Measuring SpO2
6.1 Introduction
SpO2measuring is a non-invasive technique used to measure the amount of oxygenated haemoglobin and pulse rate by measuring the
absorption of selected wavelengths of light. The light emitted by a red and infrared light-emitting diodes passes through the tissue and is
converted into electrical signals by a photodiode. This device is calibrated to display functional oxygen saturation.
The Pulse Oximeter provides:
1. PI: The signal perfusion Index.
2. Oxygen saturation of arterial blood (SpO2): It is the percentage of oxygenated hemoglobin in relation to the sum of oxyhemoglobin
and deoxyhemoglobin.
3. Pulse rate (PR): It is the pulsations per minute derived from the Pleth wave.
4. Pleth bar & SQI : The number of segments indicates the pulse strength and signal quality
6.2 Safety
WARNINGS
Use only SpO2sensors specified in this manual. Follow the SpO2sensor’s instructions for use and adhere to all warnings
and cautions.
Check the SpO2sensor and its package for any sign of damage before use. Do not use the sensor if any damage is
detected.
When a trend toward deoxygenation is indicated, blood samples should be analyzed by a laboratory co-oximeter to
completely understand the person’s condition.
Do not use the pulse oximeter and the SpO2sensor during magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). Induced current could
cause burns.
Reusable sensor must be moved to new site at least every four hours. Because individual skin condition affects the ability
of skin to tolerate sensor placement, it may be necessary to change the sensor site more frequently with some patients. If
skin integrity changes, move the sensor to another site.
Do not apply tape to secure the sensor in place or to tape it shut; venous pulsations may lead to inaccurate saturation
measurements.
As with electrosurgical unit, carefully route patient cabling to avoid entanglement.
Do not use the SpO2sensor on a limb with an intravenous infusion or arterial catheter in place.
Do not use the SpO2sensor on a limb where the NIBP cuff is applied. This may result in inaccurate SpO2reading due to
blocked blood flow during cuff inflation.
