Indications for use
The Braun Pulse oximeter (BPX800) is a non-sterile,
reusable device intended for spot checking or intermittent
determination of oxygen saturation in arterial blood, as
well as the associated pulse rate by using the tip of the
finger as the measurement site. The device is intended
for people 12 years of age or older, in a home-use
environment (such as a home setting or places
of business).
The pulse oximeter displays the %SpO2, pulse rate, as
well as the pulse amplitude using a vertical bar graph.
WARNINGS AND
PRECAUTIONS
Please read the manual carefully before use.
Device isn’t suitable for continuous monitoring.
Pulse oximeters are sensitive to motion. Keep hands still
while taking a reading.
Pulse oximeters require sufficient blood flow to
obtain proper readings. Poor blood circulation can result
in inaccurate readings. If your hands are cold or if you
have poor circulation, warm your hands by rubbing
them together or use another warming method before
attempting to obtain a reading. A tourniquet, blood
pressure cuff, other devices or clothing that cause blood
flow restrictions may also result in inaccurate readings.
Fingernail polish or acrylic nails obstruct the light
transmission through the fingertip and may also result in
inaccurate readings.
Your finger must be clean for a proper reading.
The Pulse oximeter should be clean in order to
get a proper reading. Please ensure the finger clip
area is cleaned, following the cleaning instruction in the
manual.
If a reading is difficult to obtain, switch to another finger
or to the other hand. The index or middle finger is
recommended for taking measurements.
There are a number of other conditions which may lead
to an inaccurate reading; including but not limited to,
recent medical tests that included an injection of dyes,
use of arterial catheters, a weak pulse, low levels of
hemoglobin in the blood, low perfusion (the quality of your
pulse), elevated levels of dysfunctional hemoglobin, the

5
English
strength and type of light that you are in while using the
pulse oximeter, and the existence of cell phones, radios,
and fixed transmitters within certain ranges of the pulse
oximeter during use.
This device does not provide a low SpO2 alarm.
DO NOT use on the same finger continuously for over 2
hours.
The device is not appropriate for the constant monitoring
of the user. Prolonged and continuous monitoring
may increase the potential of unexpected changes of
dermal conditions such as putrescence, etc. A feeling
of discomfort or pain may occur if using the device
continuously, especially for those users who experience
poor perfusion or immature dermographia by light
collimation.
In addition to the items described in the Warnings and
precautions section, inaccurate measurements may be
caused by factors including but not limited to:
• Immersing the device in liquid.
• Significant levels of dysfunctional hemoglobin (such as
carboxyhemoglobin or methemoglobin).
• Intravascular dyes such as indocyanine green or
methylene blue.
• Measurements may be adversely affected in the
presence of high ambient light such as direct
sunlight. In bright light conditions, cover the sensor
area if necessary.
• Excessive user movement.
• High-frequency electrosurgical interference
and defibrillators.
• Venous pulsations.
• Hypotension, severe vasoconstriction, severe anemia,
or hypothermia.
DO NOT modify this equipment without the authorization
of the manufacturer.
Fingertip pulse oximetry
General description
Oxygen mixes with blood in the lungs and is transported
in blood mainly by hemoglobin. Chemically the oxygen
molecule combines loosely and reversibly with the
heme portion of the hemoglobin. The amount of oxygen

6
that combines with the hemoglobin is determined by
the partial pressure of oxygen. The amount of oxygen
in blood, expressed as a percentage of hemoglobin
saturation is a measure of oxygen (SaO2) in the artery and
is estimated by a pulse oximeter as an SpO2 reading.
The amount of oxygen in blood (as measured by the pulse
oximeter SpO2 reading) is a very important physiological
parameter in respiratory and circulatory systems. Many
respiratory diseases reduce the oxygen-hemoglobin
saturation in human blood. Moreover, factors such
as Automatic Organic Regulation Malfunction caused
by anesthesia, trauma resulting from major surgery or
medical examination, or other diseases due to virus or
bacteria can also cause a reduction in oxygen hemoglobin
saturation in arterial blood which can be detected by the
pulse oximeter through a low SpO2 reading. This can
result in symptoms such as depression, vomiting, and
asthenia in patients.
The fingertip pulse oximeter is a compact, low-power
consumption, portable device. When the index finger
is inserted into the fingertip photoelectric sensor, the
display screen of the Braun Pulse oximeter will show the
measured value of %SpO2 and pulse rate as well as a
vertical bar graph showing the pulse amplitude.
Measurement principle
Pulse oximetry is based on the difference in the
selective absorption of red light by oxygenated blood or
oxyhemoglobin (HbO2, which is bright red) as compared
to deoxyhemoglobin (Hb, which is dull red) or de-
oxygenated blood. This selective absorption is based
on the Beer Lambert Law. A red (660nm) and infrared
LED (940nm) on the top portion of the prospective clamp
finger-type sensor emits light at these two frequencies.
The red light transmitted through the finger is selectively
absorbed by the oxygenated arterial blood and the
remaining light is detected by a photodetector on the
lower portion of the clamp finger. The infrared light
then passes through the finger without any selective
absorption and is detected by the photodetector on the
lower side of the clamp. The transmitted light captured by
the photodetector is converted into a voltage or current
signal and then passed through signal conditioning and
filtering circuits using a microprocessor. %SpO2 is then
derived by analyzing the changes in the amplitude of
these pulsatile signals derived from the photodetector

7
English
and calibrating them using pulse scanning and recording
technology. The pulse rate is then derived from these
associated waveforms.

Oximetría de pulso de dedo
Descripción general
El oxígeno se mezcla con la sangre en los pulmones y es
transportado en la sangre principalmente por la hemoglobina.
Químicamente, la molécula del oxígeno se combina de forma
laxa y reversible con la porción hemo de la hemoglobina.

18
La cantidad de oxígeno que se combina con la hemoglobina
está determinada por la presión parcial de oxígeno. La cantidad
de oxígeno en la sangre, expresada como un porcentaje de
saturación de hemoglobina es una medida de oxígeno (SaO2)
en la arteria y es estimada por un oxímetro de pulso como una
lectura de SpO2.
La cantidad de oxígeno en la sangre (medida por la lectura
SpO2 del oxímetro de pulso) es un parámetro fisiológico
muy importante en los sistemas respiratorios y circulatorios.
Muchas enfermedades respiratorias reducen la saturación
de oxígeno-hemoglobina en la sangre humana. Además,
factores como el Mal Funcionamiento de la Regulación
Orgánica Automática causado por la anestesia, traumatismo
resultante de cirugía mayor o examen médico, u otras
enfermedades debidas a virus o bacterias también pueden
causar una reducción de la saturación oxígeno hemoglobina
en la sangre arterial que puede ser detectada por el
oxímetro de pulso a través de una lectura de SpO2 bajo.
Esto puede resultar en síntomas como depresión, vómito, y
astenia en pacientes.
El oxímetro de pulso de dedo es un dispositivo portátil,
compacto y de bajo consumo de energía. Cuando el dedo
índice se introduce en el sensor fotoeléctrico de dedo, la
pantalla del Oxímetro de Pulso Braun mostrará el valor
medido del %SpO2 y la frecuencia del pulso, así como
una gráfica de barras verticales que muestra la amplitud
de pulso.
Principio de Medición
El oxímetro de pulso se basa en la diferencia de la
absorción selectiva de la luz roja por sangre oxigenada
o oxigoglobina (HbO2, que es de color rojo brillante) en
comparación con la desoxihemoglobina (Hb, que es de
color rojo opaco) o la sangre desoxigenada. Esta absorción
selectiva se basa en la Ley de Beer Lambert. Un LED
rojo (660nm) e infrarrojo (940nm) en la parte superior del
sensor de abrazadera para el dedo emite luz a estas dos
frecuencias. La luz roja transmitida a través del dedo es
absorbida selectivamente por la sangre arterial oxigenada
y la luz restante es detectada por un fotodetector en
la parte inferior de la abrazadera. La luz transmitida
capturada por el fotodetector se convierte en una señal
de voltaje o corriente y luego pasa a través de circuitos
de acondicionamiento y filtrado de señal utilizando
un microprocesador. El %SpO2 se deriva entonces
analizando los cambios en la amplitud de estas señales

pulsátiles derivadas del fotodetector y calibrándolas
utilizando tecnología de escaneo y grabación de pulsos.
La frecuencia de pulso se deriva de estas formas de ondas
asociadas.
