Fingertip Pulse Oximeter

1.Measurement principle
The Oximeter displays functional oxygen saturation. The oximeter’s algorithm uses the
Lambert Beer Law according to Spectrum Absorption Characteristics of Reductive hemoglobin
(RHb) and Oxyhemoglobin (O2 Hb) in glow and near-infrared zones. Operation principle
of the instrument is Photoelectric Oxyhemoglobin Inspection Technology is adopted in
accordance with Capacity Pulse Scanning and Recording Technology, so that two beams of
different wavelength of lights (660nm glow and 880nm near infrared light) can be focused
onto human nail tip through perspective clamp fi nger-type sensor.Then measured signal
can be obtained by a photosensitive element, information acquired through which will be
shown on two groups of LEDs through process in electronic circuits and microprocessor.
2.Precautions for use
• Operation of 18710 may be affected by the use of an electrosurgical unit (ESU).
• The 18710 must be able to measure the pulse properly to obtain an accurate SpO2
measurement.Verify that nothing is hindering the pulse measurement before replying on
the SpO2 measurement.
• Do not use the 18710 in an MRI or CT environment
• Do not use the 18710 in situations where alarms are required. The device has no alarms.
• Explosion hazard: Do not use the 18710 in an explosive atmosphere.
• The 18710 is intended only for non-medical use for healthy people to monitor their pulse
and blood oxygen levels while exercising.

4
• Check the pulse oximeter sensor application site frequently to determine the positioning
of the sensor and circulation and skin sensitivity of the user.
• Before use, carefully read the manual.
• The 18710 has no SpO2 alarms, it is not for continuous monitoring, as indicated by the
symbol.
• Prolonged use or the user’s condition may require changing the sensor site
periodically. It is recommended that the sensor should not be applied to the same finger
for over 2 hours.
3. Inaccurate measurements may be caused by
• Do not sterilize the device using autoclaving, ethylene oxide sterilizing, or immersing
the sensors in liquid which may cause inaccurate readings.The device is not intended
for sterilization.
• Signi cant levels of dysfunctional hemoglobin’s (such as carbonxy- hemoglobin or met
hemoglobin)
• Intravascular dyes such as indocyanine green or methylene blue
• SpO2 measurements may be adversely affected in the presence of high ambient light.
Shield the sensor area from direct sunlight or indoor lighting.
• Excessive user movement
• High-frequency electrosurgical interference and de brillators

5
• Venous pulsations
• Placement of a sensor on an extremity with a blood pressure cuff, arterial catheter, or
intravascular line
• The user has hypotension, severe vasoconstriction, severe anemia, or hypothermia
• The user is in cardiac arrest or is in shock
• Fingernail polish or false  ngernails may cause inaccurate SpO2 readings.
• Follow local ordinances and recycling instructions regarding disposal or recycling of the
device and device components,including batteries.

Oxymètre de pouls digital

1. Principe de fonctionnement
Cet oxymètre permet d’affi cher le taux de saturation d’oxygène fonctionnel. Le principe de
l’oxymètre est le suivant : les calculs sont effectués à l’aide d’une formule empirique basée
sur la loi de Lambert Beer portant sur les caractéristiques d’absorption de spectre de
l’hémoglobine (R-Hb) et de l’oxyhémoglobine (O2-Hb) dans la gamme visible et proche
infrarouge. Le principe de fonctionnement de l’appareil repose sur la technologie de l’analyse
photoélectrique de l’oxyhémoglobine, et e le mesure de leur absorption par le  ux pulsatile du
sang. Deux faisceaux de différentes longueurs d’onde (660 nm visible, 880 nm infrarouge) diri-
gés sur un ongle humain et lus par un capteur situé dans une pincette dans laquelle on insère
un doigt. Le résidu spectral peut être lu par une cellule photosensible, et le résultat du calcul
est af ché à l’aide de deux groupes de segments sur un écran ACL après traitement par
des circuits électroniques et un microprocesseur.
2. Précautions pour l’utilisation
• L’appareil 18710 peut être affecté par l’utilisation d’un appareil électrochirurgical (ESU).
• L’appareil 18710 doit pouvoir mesurer le pouls correctement a n de calculer une valeur
exacte de SpO2. Assurez-vous que la mesure du pouls est correcte avant de vous fi er
aux mesures de SpO2.
• N’utilisez pas l’appareil 18710 dans un environnement d’IRM ou de TD
• N’utilisez pas l’appareil 18710 lorsqu’un mécanisme d’alarme est requis. Cet appareil ne
comporte pas d’alarme. and blood oxygen levels while exercising.

20
• Risque d’explosion : n’utilisez pas l’appareil 18710 dans une atmosphère explosive.
• Les 18710 sont seulement pour l’utilisation non-medicale pour les gens en bonne sante
controller leurs niveaus d’oxygene de snag et de pouls en exercant.
• Examinez le site d’application de l’oxymètre fréquemment a n d’évaluer la position de
l’appareil, la circulation sanguine et l’état de l’épiderme du utilisateur.
• Lisez attentivement le guide avant d’utiliser l’appareil.
• L’appareil 18710 ne comporte pas de système d’alarme. Il n’est pas prévu pour une
surveillance continue, comme en témoigne le symbole.
• Une utilisation prolongée ou l’état du utilisateur peut exiger que l’appareil soit déplacé
régulièrement. Pour la lecture par sonde d’oxymétrie, il est conseillé de changer de doigt
toutes les 2 heures.
3. Facteurs pouvant induire des erreurs de mesure
• • Ne stérilisez pas l’appareil à l’autoclave, à l’aide d’oxyéthylène ou par immersion dans un
liquide, car ceci pourrait fausser les résultats. L’appareil ne doit pas être stérilisé.
• Un taux élevé d’hémoglobine dysfonctionnelle (comme la carboxyhémoglobine ou la
méthémoglobine).
