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.

• 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.

6. Product Intended Use
Intended Use:
Fingertip Pulse Oximeter 18710 is a portable non-invasive, spot-check, oxygen saturation
of arterial hemoglobin (SpO2) and pulse rate of adult and pediatric users at home or
while exercising.Not for continuously monitoring.
The 18710 requires no routine calibration or maintenance other than replacement of
batteries.
7. Operation Instructions
7.1 Installing two AAA batteries into battery cassette before covering its cover.
7.2 Open the clamp as illustrated in the picture below
7.3 Plug one of fi ngers into rubber hole of the Oximeter (it is best to plug the fi nger
thoroughly) before releasing the clamp
7.4 Press the switch button once on front panel.
7.5 Keep your nger and body still while taking measurements.
7.6 Read correspondent datum from display screen.
7.7 One display mode.

8
Turn on the Oximeter. Each time you press the power switch, the Oximeter will
reset the display and restart its measurements.
When your fi nger is plugged into the Oximeter, your nail surface must be upward.
Brief Description of Front Panel
User pulse quality signals are indicated as such by the amplitude of the bar graph.
The higher the amplitude, the stronger the pulse signal.

Cleaning the 18710
Clean inside of Oximeter with a soft cloth dampened with 70% isopropyl alcohol. Clean the
test fi nger using alcohol before and after each test.
Do not pour or spray and liquids onto the Oximeter. Do not allow any liquid to enter any
openings in the device. Allow the Oximeter to dry thoroughly before reusing.
13. Calibrating the 18710
• The functional tester cannot be used to assess the accuracy of the Oximeter.
• The test methods used to establish the SpO2 accuracy is clinical testing. The oximeter
used to measure the arterial hemoglobin oxygen saturation levels and these levels are to
be compared to the levels determined from arterial blood sampling with a CO-oximeter.
