Chapter 1 Precautions, Warnings and Symbol
1.1 Precautions
Do not attempt to repair the pulse oximeter by yourself.
Only certified engineers should maintain and repair it.
Change the contact position between the oximeter
probe and the finger periodically if your finger feels sore
or is uncomfortable.
Stop immediately if you have broken skin or the blood
circulation of your finger is affected during prolonged
use.
This product is not designed to be used by newborn
babies.
Seek medical care if the measured value goes beyond

3
the normal range and you are sure that the device is
not malfunctioning.
The pulse oximeter uses infrared light (invisible to your
eyes) to measure your SpO2level. Hence, please do
not stare at the light emitting components of the
oximeter to avoid potential eye damage and/or
blindness.
This pulse oximeter is not a medical device and is not
intended to diagnose and/or treat any medical condition
or disease. It is intended for non-medical use by healthy
people to monitor their pulse rate and blood oxygen
levels. It is for sports and/or aviation use. People who
need SpO2and pulse rate measurements because of a
medical condition should consult with their physician.

4
The following factors may affect the performance and accuracy
of the oximeter:
The oximeter is used in an environment with
high-frequency devices, such as high-frequency
electric knives and/or CT apparatuses.
Ambient light intensity that is too bright. Hence, please
avoid direct exposure to strong light (such as beams
from operating lamps or sunlight) during measurement.
The probe of the oximeter is placed on the same arm
that a blood pressure cuff, arterial duct or intravenous
injection is placed.
The user suffers from hypotension, severe vascular
atrophy, severe anemia, or low oxygen.
The user is in sudden cardiac arrest or shock state.
The user is wearing nail polish or artificial nails.

1.2 Warnings
Warning: Do not use the oximeter in an environment
with any flammable gases, flammable anesthetic, or
other flammable substances.
Warning: Keep unit and lanyard away from children as
the included lanyard may pose as an entanglement or
choking hazard to small children. Adult supervision is
required; never leave children unattended with unit or
lanyard.
Warning: Do not throw the batteries into fire, as that
may cause an explosion.
Warning: Do not attempt to charge the included
batteries, as that could cause leakage, fire disaster, or
even explosion. Dispose the used batteries in
accordance to the local laws and regulations.

6
Warning: Do not use the oximeter in an MRI or CT
environment.
Caution: Do not operate the oximeter if it is wet.Avoid
moving the oximeter from a cold to a hot and humid
environment.
Caution: Install the batteries properly before powering
on the oximeter for normal use. Please remove the
batteries if you are not planning to use the oximeter
for an extended period of time.
Caution: Close the battery cover when the device is in
use.

Chapter 2 About This Product
2.1 Overview
SpO2stands for peripheral capillary oxygen saturation. Oxygen
saturation is defined as the ratio of oxyhemoglobin (HbO2) to the
total concentration of hemoglobin (i.e. Oxyhemoglobin +
reduced hemoglobin) present in the blood. It is an important
physiological parameter involved in respiration and circulation.
The Pulse Oximeter feature herein is small, portable,
non-invasive and easy to use. The user only needs to insert a
finger into the chamber to measure his/her SpO2level and pulse
rate.
2.2 Working Principles
Oxygenated blood absorbs light
preferentially at 905nm (near
infrared light), whereas
deoxygenated blood absorbs
light preferentially at 660nm
(red light). A pulse oximeter
works by passing a beam of red
and infrared light through a pulsating capillary bed and then
Light Emitting
Diode
Light beams
sensor

10
measure the amount of red and infrared light emerging from the
tissues via a sensor. To improve accuracy, the iP900AP uses a
proprietary algorithm to collect data from pulsatile arterial blood
and excludes local noise from the tissues. The relative
absorption of light by oxyhemoglobin (HbO) and
deoxyhemoglobin is then calculated according to the
Beer-Lambert's law and a quantitative measurement of the
users’ oxyhemoglobin status i.e. Oxygen saturation level (SpO2)
is derived.
Due to the sensitivity of the pulse oximeter, finger should be kept
stationary during measurement. It is recommended that you use
this device for measurement before or after sports. Do not use
for continuous monitoring.
2.3 Intended Use
The Innovo® iP900AP Finger Pulse Oximeter is a portable
non-invasive device intended for spot-checking of oxygen
saturation of arterial hemoglobin (SpO2) and pulse rate (PR) of
adult and children (>2 years old).

11
2.4 Product Features
Lightweight, portable and easy to use
Six different display options
Dual-color OLED screen to show measured values,
plethysmograph, bar graph and perfusion index
Large font display
Preset alarm function
Low Battery indicator
Automatic shut down if no signal is detected after 10
seconds
Low power consumption. Two 1.5 VAAA batteries will
allow the pulse oximeter to operate for approximately 30
hours.
2.5 Limitations
The pulse oximeter works by measuring the amount of
oxygenated hemoglobin in your blood over a period of time. Spot
check pulse oximeter takes 1-2 readings every second and
takes an average of 4-6 readings before displaying the result.
Hence, you will have to wait at least 4-6 seconds before a result
will be displayed on the monitor. If the pulse oximeter fails to
detect blood flow for the first few seconds, the results will be

12
delayed accordingly.
The pulse oximeter does not work for people with naturally small
fingers or low peripheral blood flow. This is because the pulse
oximeter could not detect enough blood for a measurement.
Please note that prolonged use of a pulse oximeter, hypotension,
vasoconstriction, hypothermia and certain medications can lead
to low or restricted blood flow. Nail polish can also impede the
pulse oximeter from taking a reading.
Finally, it is generally accepted that the saturation percentage is
unreliable on the steep part (around 60 mm Hg) of the
oxyhemoglobin dissociation curve.
2.6 Innovative Features of the iP900AP
The iP900AP is designed to address and alleviate some of the
above problems by
1) Increasing the sensitivity of the sensor to allow user to
measure his/her SpO2levels and Pulse Rate (PR) at blood
perfusion index (PI) as low as 0.2%.

13
2) Using a self-adjusting smart spring system to fit user’s finger
snugly but not too tight as to impede blood flow that may lead to
a low PI.
3) Using soft, hypoallergenic medical grade silicone in the finger
chamber to minimize discomfort to user’s finger.
4) Using solid ABS plastic to block ambient light from reaching
the sensor so that the signal to background ratio and the
accuracy of the measurement is dramatically increased.
5) Adding two invaluable features, the plethysmograph and the
perfusion index (PI), that help user determine the optimal time to
get an accurate and reliable reading every time (See Chapter
3.3.7 about plethysmograph and perfusion index ).
