Chapter 1: Introduction
Pulse Oximeter for Sleep Screening Operation Manual 1-1
Chapter 1: Introduction
About the Manual
The Operation Manual provides installation, operation, and maintenance instructions for
health-care professionals and other users, trained in monitoring respiratory and cardiovascular
activity.
Theory of Operation
The oximeter determines SpO2and pulse rate by passing two wavelengths of low intensity
light, one red and one infrared, through body tissue to a photodetector. During measurement,
the signal strength resulting from each light source depends on the color and thickness of the
body tissue, the sensor placement, the intensity of the light sources, and the absorption of the
arterial and venous blood (including the time varying effects of the pulse) in the body tissues.
Figure 1.0: Theory of Operation
1. Red and infrared LED light sources
2. Detector
The oximeter processes these signals, separating the time invariant parameters (tissue
thickness, skin color, light intensity, and venous blood) from the time variant parameters
(arterial volume and SpO2) to identify the pulse rate and calculate oxygen saturation. Oxygen
saturation calculations can be performed because oxygen saturated blood predictably absorbs
less red light than oxygen depleted blood.
Since measurement of SpO2depends on a pulsating vascular bed, any condition that restricts
blood flow, such as use of a blood pressure cuff or extremes in systemic vascular resistance,
may cause an inability to determine accurate pulse and SpO2readings.

Chapter 2: Intended Use & Monitor Features
Pulse Oximeter for Sleep Screening Operation Manual 2-1
Chapter 2: Intended Use and Monitor Features
Intended Use
This device is a handheld pulse oximeter that measures SpO2, pulse rate, and pulse strength. It
may be used as a spot check device in the hospital or clinical environments. Additionally, it
may be used to collect long term data in overnight sleep screening studies in the sleep lab or
home. The oximeter will provide reliable measurements on patients ranging from neonate to
adults for spot checking applications and from pediatric to adult for sleep screening
applications when using the appropriate catalog accessories. The oximeter will operate
accurately over an ambient temperature range of 32 to 131°F (0 to 55°C).
This device is not intended for continuous patient monitoring, but can be used for spot
checking and/or long-term data collection applications. There are no audible or visible patient
alarms.
Monitor Features
• Provides fast, reliable SpO2, pulse rate, and pulse strength measurements on any patient,
from neonates to adults for spot-checking applications and on pediatric to adults for sleep
screening applications.
• Ideally suited for use in overnight sleep screening applications allowing printing of
summated data results.
• Three modes of operation: Verification Mode for spot checking, Data Collection Mode
for long term data collection in sleep screening environments and Trend Printing Mode
for outputting summarized trend data to the built-in printer or to a PC.
• Device automatically enters Data Collection Mode after 10 minutes of continuous use.

Checking the Monitor’s Performance
Pulse oximeters do not require user calibration. If checking the function of the device is
desired, an optional Oximeter/ECG Patient Simulator (Catalog No. 1606HH) is available as an
accessory. The simulator attaches to the oximeter via the 3311 oximetry cable. It provides a
known SpO2and pulse rate signal to the oximeter. This allows the oximeter's performance to
be checked.
NOTE! The 1606HH Oximeter/ECG Patient Simulator does not calibrate the monitor; the
monitor does not require calibration. The 1606HH provides a known SpO2and pulse rate
to the monitor that allows you to check the monitor’s performance.
NOTE! Follow the instructions included with the 1606HH Oximeter/ECG Patient
Simulator.
Operating Modes
The monitor has three operating modes: Verification Mode, Data Collection Mode, and Trend
Printing Mode.
• Verification Mode is intended for use in spot checking and for verification of correct
sensor placement.
• Data Collection Mode is intended for use in long-term data collection in sleep screening
environments.
• Trend Printing Mode is intended for use in the output of the trend data summation to the
printer or a full computer data download.
