Warnings
Check the device to make sure that there is no
visible damage that may affect user’s safety or
measurement performance with regard to sensors
and clips. It is recommended that the device
should be inspected minimally once a week.
When there is obvious damage, stop using the
device.
Special attention should be paid while the
oximeter is used continuously under the ambient
temperature exceeds 37°, burning hurt may occur
because of over-heating on the sensor.
An uncomfortable or painful feeling may appear
if using the oximeter continuously on the same
place for a long time, especially for poor
microcirculation patients.
It is recommended that the oximeter should not
be applied to the same location for longer than 2
hours. If any abnormal condition is found, please
change the position of oximeter.
Avoid placing the device on the same limb which
is wrapped with a cuff for blood pressure
measurement or during venous infusion.

User Manual for Fingertip Oximeter

DO NOT clip this device on edema or tender
tissue.
The light (the infrared light is invisible) emitted
from the device is harmful to the eyes, so service
technician or testee should not stare at the light.
The oximeter is not a treatment device.
When disposing of the monitor and its
accessories, the local law should be followed.
Instructions for Operation
The finger should be put in properly and correctly.
Do not shake the finger. Keep at ease during
measurement.
Do not put wet finger directly into sensor.
Avoid placing the device on the same limb which
is wrapped with a cuff for blood pressure
measurement or during venous infusion.
Do not let anything block the emitting light from
device.
Vigorous exercise and electrosurgical device
interference may affect the measuring accuracy.
The orientation-sensor works on the basis of the
gravity. A small movable metal ball is built in the
orientation-sensor for detecting the orientation of

the oximeter. When you want to change the
oximeter’s display direction, if you move the
oximeter too slowly, the movable metal ball will
also move slowly because of not enough
acceleration. Consequently the response of
orientation detection would be delayed. Please
move the oximeter with a bit of force if you want
to change the display direction (such as
bend/extend your finger quickly), so an
acceleration is provided to the orientation-sensor
for quick sensing the orientation change.
Using enamel or other makeup on the nail may
affect the accuracy of measurement, too long
fingernail may casue failure of measurement or
unaccuracy measurement result.
Keep the oximeter away from dust, vibration,
corrosive substances, explosive materials, high
temperature and moisture.
Existence of high intensive light sources, such as
fluorescence light, ruby lamb, infrared heater or
strong sunshire, etc. may cause unaccuracy of
measurement result. Please put an opaque cover
on the sensor or change the measuring site.
If the first reading appears with poor waveform
(irregular or not smooth), then the reading is

unlikely true, the more stable value is expected
by waiting for a while, or a restart is needed when
necessary.
Note: Due to the working principle of orientation sensor
used in oximeter, there is a small metal ball which is
movable within its compartment of the
orientation-sensor. Therefore you can hear a slight
“clatter” sound when you wave or shake the oximeter. It
is normal and not caused by unwanted part.

2 Battery Installation
Figure 2 Battery Installation
1. Refer to Figure2, insert two AAA size batteries into
the battery compartment properly.
2. Replace the cover.
Please make sure that the batteries are correctly
installed, or incorrect installation may cause the
device not to work.

Figure 3 Put finger into the Oximeter
2. Put finger into the rubber cushions of the clip (make
sure the finger is in the correct position), and then
clip the finger.
3. The device will power on automatically in 2 seconds,
and start to display software version number.

automatically. You have to enable it next time
manually.
Notes: Notes: The pulse beep has the pitch-tone feature
(when SpO2value is higher than 90%), that means, the
beeping tone changes according to the SpO2value.
3.2 Over-limit indication and beep silence
When measuring, if SpO2value or pulse rate value
exceeds the preset limit, the device will beep
automatically and the value which exceeds limit on the
screen will flash. The detailed information refers to
chapter 4.
When the beep sound is activated by over-limit, it will
become silence at the following situations:
1. When SpO2and PR value return to normal range.
2. Press Display Key to mute. If this over-limit
event continues, the oximeter will resume beeping
sound automatically later in 2 minutes.
3. Remove the finger from the oximeter or SpO2
probe.
