6. SPO₂MONITORING
6.1 Measurement Principle
SpO₂ plethysmogram measurement is employed to determine the oxygen saturation of hemoglobin in the arterial blood. The
SpO₂ parameter can also provide a pulse rate signal and pulse strength.
HowtheSpO₂Parameterworks
• SpO₂ is a non-invasive measurement of the functional oxygen saturation.
• Arterial oxygen saturation is measured by a method called pulse oximetery. It is a continuous, non-invasive method based
on the different spectra absorption of hemoglobin and oxyhemoglobin (called spectrophotometer principle). It measures
how much light, sent from light sources on one side of the sensor, is transmitted through animal tissue (such as a tongue),
to a receiver on the other side.
• The sensor measurement wavelengths are nominally 660nm for the red LED and 905nm for infrared LED. Maximum
optical power output for LED is 4mw.
• The amount of light transmitted depends on many factors, most of which are constant. However, one of these factors, the
blood ow in the arteries, varies with time, because it is pulsating. By measuring the light absorption during a pulsation,
it is possible to derive the oxygen saturation of the arterial blood. Detecting the pulsation gives a PLETH waveform, pulse
rate signal and pulse strength.
• The SpO₂ value, PR value, pulse strength and the PLETH waveform can be displayed on the main screen.
6.2ChoosingtheSensor
Sensor selection for SpO₂ measurement depends on the animal’s size. For a medium or large sized animal, you can choose
the large clip; for a small animal, you can choose the small clip. The Y-type veterinary SpO₂ sensor is a clip consisting of two
parts. The LEDs are placed in one part and the photodetector is placed in another part.
Please follow the steps and gure 6-1 below to use the Y-type veterinary SpO₂ sensor:
• Insert the sensor’s connector to the LifeVet PT SpO₂ socket.
• Turn on the monitor. The LCD screen will display the parameter monitoring screen.
• Attach the sensor to an appropriate site of the animal’s tongue.
• The readings will be displayed on the LED screen a moment later.
Figure 6-1: Attaching the sensor and clip to the animal’s tongue
Note!
Make sure to place the SpO₂ sensor on the tongue in the correct direction. The LED part of the sensor should be at
the backside of the animal hand and the photodetector part at the inside.Make sure to attach the tongue and make
sure the light source is the topside of the tongue.
• To acquire accurate results, please read data until the sensor is steadily placed.
• Readings may not be accurate when either the sensor or the animal is moving.

6.3 Measurement Limitations
If the accuracy of any measurement does not seem reasonable, rst check the animal’s vital signs by an alternate method.
Then check the instrument for proper function.
Inaccuratemeasurementsmaybecausedby:
• Incorrect sensor application or use
• High-frequency electrical noise, such as noise from electrosurgical apparatus connected to the system
• Signicant levels of dysfunctional hemoglobins (e. g. carboxyhemoglobin or methemoglobin)
• Signicant concentrations of dysfunctional hemoglobin, such as carboxyhemoglobin and methemoglobin
• Intravascular dyes such as indocyanine green or methylene blue
• Exposure to excessive illumination, such as surgical lamps (especially ones with a xenon light source), bilirubin lamps,
uorescent lights, infrared heating lamps, or direct sunlight (exposure to excessive illumination can be corrected by
covering the sensor with a dark material)
• Excessive animal motion
• Venous pulsations
• SpO₂ is too low
• Improper sensor installation or incorrect contact position of the animal
• Placement of a sensor on the same extremity with a blood pressure cuff, arterial catheter, or intravascular line
Lossofpulsesignalcanoccurinthefollowingsituation:
• The sensor is too tight
• There is excessive illumination from light sources such as a surgical lamp, a bilirubin lamp, or sunlight
• A blood pressure cuff is inated on the same extremity as the one with a SpO₂ sensor attached
• The animal has hypotension, severe vasoconstriction, severe anemia, or hypothermia
• There is arterial occlusion proximal to the sensor
• The animal is in cardiac arrest or in shock
6.4 Precautions
Note!
Do not perform SpO₂ monitoring and NIBP measurements on the same arm simultaneously. Obstruction of blood
ow during NIBP measurements may adversely affect the reading of the SpO₂ value.

15
USER MANUAL LIFEVET PT HANDHELD PULSE OXIMETER
T [phone] | F [phone] | [e-mail] | www.eickemeyer.com
Warning!
• Check if the sensor cable is in normal condition before monitoring. Do not use the SpO₂ sensor once the
package or the sensor is found damaged.
• Remove the SpO₂ sensor from the animal after measurement.
• As with any medical equipment, carefully route animal cabling to reduce the possibility of animal entanglement
or strangulation. Cables of electrical surgical equipment should not be winded around that of the SpO₂ sensor.
• Do not put the sensor on extremities with arterial catheter or venous syringe.
• If no pulse is found or the reading is unreasonable, rst check the animal’s condition, and then check the sensor
installation and connection with the LifeVet PT, nally ask the qualied engineer to check the device and the
SpO₂ sensor for proper functions.
• Don’t use the LifeVet PT to measure animals whose pulse rate is lower than 25 bpm or exceed 400 bpm, which
may cause incorrect results.
• Prolonged and continuous monitoring may increase jeopardy of unexpected change of dermal condition such
as abnormal sensitivity, rubescence, vesicle, repressive putrescence, and so on. It is especially important to
check more frequently the sensor placement of animal of poor perfusion or immature dermographia by light
collimation and proper attaching strictly according to changes of the skin. Check per 2–3 hours the sensor
placement and move it when the skin deteriorates.
• Make sure no contamination or scar exists in the site where the sensor is placed. Otherwise, the measured
result may be incorrect because the signal received by the sensor is affected.
• Please use the SpO₂ sensor supplied by the LifeVet PT.
• When used on different animals, the LifeVet PT is prone to crossed contamination, which should be prevented
and controlled by the user. Disinfection is recommended before using the SpO₂ sensor on other animals.
Caution!
SpO₂ sensors are precision and fragile. Avoid pressure and knock. Hold the probe and cable carefully and lightly.
When you do not use it, you should coil up the probe and cable into a loose circle. If the wire inside the cable is
tensely pulled, it may cause mechanical damage to the probe and the cable.
7. TEMPERATURE MONITORING
7.1 Measurement Steps
You can plug the probe directly into the monitor with a reusable TEMP probe and apply the TEMP probe securely to the
animal. Then switch on the machine.
Warning!
• Verify probe cables fault detection before the beginning of monitoring phase. Unplug the temperature probe
cable from the socket, the screen will display the error message “TEMP SENSOR OFF” and the audible alarm is
activated.
• The calibration of the temperature measurement is necessary every two years (or as frequently as dictated by
your Hospital Procedures Policy). When you need to calibrate the temperature measurement, contact
EICKEMEYER® please.
