Product Description
The Attendant Sock-Style Fingertip Pulse Oximeter is a
portable noninvasive way to spot-check the oxygen saturation
of arterial hemoglobin (SpO2) and pulse rate of adults in
nursing homes, hospitals and LongTerm Care communities.
The device is suitable for home use only when prescribed by
a licensed healthcare professional. NOT FOR CONTINUOUS
MONITORING.The Oximeter requires no routine calibration or
maintenance other than the replacement of the battery.
Product Properties
Operation of the Oximeter is simple and convenient.
The device is small and light, weighing about 2.5 oz.
(50 g) including battery. Power consumption is low, and
the one AAA battery can be operated continuously for
up to 8 hours. The low-battery indicator will light on the
display screen when the battery needs to be replaced.
To conserve battery life, the device automatically powers
off after 8 seconds if no finger is present in the device.
Warnings
BEFORE USE, CAREFULLY READ THIS ENTIRE MANUAL.
• WARNING – EXPLOSION HAZARD: DO NOT USE THE
DEVICE IN AN EXPLOSIVE ATMOSPHERE. Operation of
device may be affected by the use of an electrosurgical unit
(ESU). Do not use the device in an MRI or CT environment.
• WARNING – Do not use where SpO2or other alarms are
required. THE DEVICE HAS NO ALARMS.
• WARNING – Do not use if resident has hypotension,
severe vasoconstriction, severe anemia or hypothermia. Do
not use if the resident is in cardiac arrest or is in shock.
• WARNING – Verify nothing is hindering the pulse
measurement before relying on the SpO2measurement.
The device must be able to measure the pulse properly
to obtain an accurate SpO2measurement. Any of the
following, or a combination of the following, may cause
inaccurate test results:
• Significant levels of dysfunctional hemoglobins (such as
carboxyhemoglobin or methemoglobin)
• Intravascular dyes, such as indocyanine green or methylene blue
• Excessive resident movement
• High-frequency electrosurgical interference and defibrillators

Warnings (cont.)
• Venous pulsations
• Fingernail polish or false fingernails
• Placement of a sensor on an extremity with a blood
pressure cuff, arterial catheter or intravascular line
• High ambient light levels
• WARNING – The device is intended only as an adjunct in
resident assessment. It must be used in conjunction with
other methods of assessing clinical signs and symptoms.
The device is not intended for continuous monitoring.
• WARNING – Check skin integrity, circulatory status
and correct alignment of finger prior to use. Check the
device sensor application site frequently to determine
the positioning of the sensor, circulation and skin
sensitivity of the resident. Do not stretch the lining
in the opening of the device when inserting finger.
This may cause inaccurate readings or skin blisters.
Prolonged use or resident's condition may require
changing sensor site periodically.
• CAUTION – Do not sterilize the device using autoclaving
or ethylene oxide sterilizing, or immerse the device in liquid,
which may cause inaccurate readings. The device is not
intended for sterilization.

Calibration & Accuracy Verification
• The device cannot be calibrated in the field by the
end user.
• If you suspect the device is providing inaccurate results,
use a second device to verify accuracy. Do not rely on
results you suspect to be inaccurate.
• Immediately discontinue use of the device if it provides
inaccurate readings.
Maintenance, Storage & Disposal
• Replace the battery as soon as the low-battery indicator
on the display screen is lit.
• Clean the surface of the device before it is used in
diagnosis of residents.
• Remove the battery if the device will not be used for an
extended period of time.
• Store the device in a place where ambient temperatures
range from -4º to 131ºF (-20º to 55ºC). A low-humidity
environment is recommended.
Cleaning
• Use a soft cloth dampened with 70% isopropyl alcohol to
clean the silicone that comes into contact with the finger
during testing. Also clean the finger using alcohol before
and after each test.
• CAUTION – Do not pour or spray any liquids
onto the device, and do not allow any liquid to enter
any openings in the device. Allow the device to dry
thoroughly before reusing.
Follow local ordinances and recycling instructions regarding
disposal or recycling of the device and device components,
including batteries.
Measurement Principle
The Oximeter is calibrated to display functional oxygen
saturation using the principles of the Lambert Beer Law,
according to Spectrum Absorption Characteristics of
Reductive Hemoglobin(R Hb) and Oxyhemoglobin
(O2Hb) in red and near-infrared zones. Using Photoelectric
Oxyhemoglobin Inspection Technology and Capacity
Pulse Scanning and Recording Technology, the Oximeter
measures SpO2and pulse rate by shining two beams
of differing wavelengths of light (660nm red and 940nm
near infrared) through the tip of the fingernail. The
Oximeter measures the amount of each wavelength
of light that passes through the fingernail using a
photosensitive element. The microprocessor analyzes
these measurements, determines the SpO2level and
pulse rate of the resident, and displays this information
on the LCD display.
