SAFETY INFORMATION
Warning
●Federal law (USA) restricts this device to sale by or on the order of a
physician.
● Do not use the oximeter in an MRI environment.
●The use of accessories, probes, and cables other than those listed
in this manual may result in increased emission and/ or decreased
immunity of the device.
●The oximeter is intended only as an adjunct in subject assessment. It
must be used in conjugation with other methods of assessing clinical
signs and symptoms.
●
Explosion Hazard: Do not use the oximeter in an explosive atmosphere.
●If subjects’ monitoring sites have trauma, disability or other medical
status that make inaccurate results, operators should consult doctors
before use.
●Use probe manufactured by manufacturer. Using other manufacturers’
probes may cause improper oximeter performance. Also, do not use a
damaged probe.
●Because operating environments vary, use caution to ensure that all
audible alarms and indicators can be heard. Users must determine
the acceptable audible distance of all alarms.
● When a system fault occurs, the subject will no longer be monitored.
●The oximeter has to measure the pulse properly to obtain accurate
SpO2measurement. Blood flow restrictors (e.g., blood pressure
cuffs) may hinder pulse measurements. Remove any objects that
may hinder the performance of the oximeter.

Handheld Pulse Oximeter
Cautions
●The oximeter is not an apnea monitor.
●The oximeter determines the percentage of arterial oxygen saturation
of functional hemoglobin. Significant levels of dysfunctional
hemoglobin such as carboxyhemoglobin or methemoglobin may
affect the accuracy of the measurement.
●Cardiogreen and intravascular dyes, depending on the concentration,
may affect the accuracy of SpO2measurements.
●The performance of the oximeter might be affected by the presence
of a defibrillator.
●The oximeter may not work on all subjects. If you are unable to
achieve stable readings, discontinue use.
●The oximeter has monition tolerant software that minimizes the
likelihood of motion artifact being misinterpreted as good pulse
quality. In some circumstances, however, the oximeter may still
interpret motion as good pulse quality. Minimize subject motion as
much as possible.
●Verify that all visible indicators illuminate and that an audible
indicator sounds during the startup (initialization) sequence, if any
indicator is not lit or the audible indicator does not sound, do not use
the oximeter. Please contact your agent for help.
●Do not immerse the oximeter or probes in liquid to clean, and also
do not expose them to excessive moisture or liquids.
●
Do not use caustic or abrasive cleaning agents on the oximeter or probes.
●Do not mix new and old batteries at the same time. It may cause the
batteries to leak. Disposed of batteries properly.
●Batteries might leak chemicals if unused for a long period of time.
Remove the batteries if the oximeter is going to be stored for more
than one month.
● Batteries may leak or explode if used or disposed of improperly.
●The oximeter is a precision electronic instrument and must be
repaired by trained personnel only
●Follow local governing ordinances and recycling instructions regards
disposal or recycling of the device and device components. Follow
local governing ordinances and recycling instructions regards
disposal or recycling of the device and device components.

INTRODUCTION
►Intended for Use
The nu-beca Handheld Pulse Oximeter is indicated for use in measuring and
displaying functional oxygen saturation of arterial hemoglobin (SpO2) and pulse
rate. It is intended for patients during no-motion condition. The oximeter is suitable
for use at home, in hospital, clinical sites and home care environment.
This device is indicated for non-invasive spot checking or continuous monitoring.
►General Description
The oximeter is a digital handheld that displays numerical values for blood oxygen
saturation. It provides audible alarm for both medium and high priority conditions.
The range of the peak wavelengths and maximum optical output power of the light
emitted by the oximeter probe and the reading result can be especially useful to
clinicians.
The oximeter with reusable SpO2probe accessories operates on battery power for
up to 40 hours. The oximeter requires no routine calibration or maintenance other
than replacement of alkaline batteries. When the batteries are low, the indicator will
blink to warn users to replace the batteries.
►Principle of Measurement
The nu-beca Handheld Pulse Oximeter determines functional oxygen saturation
of arterial hemoglobin (SpO2) by measuring the absorption of red and infrared light
passing through perfused tissue. Changes in absorption caused by the pulsation of
blood in the vascular bed are used to determine oxygen saturation and pulse rate.

BEFORE USE
Low battery capacity is indicated with a flashing red light. We recommend that you
replace the new batteries if the low battery indicator turns red.
►Battery Replacement
Make sure the oximeter is switched off when replacing the batteries.
The oximeter is powered by 4 AA alkaline batteries. Replace new batteries by the
following steps.
STEP1. Loosen the screw at the back of the oximeter and remove the battery cover.
STEP2. Remove the old batteries from battery compartment.
STEP3. Insert four new AA alkaline batteries. Correctly align the polarities (+ and -)
with battery indication marks on the oximeter.
STEP4. Replace the battery cover and tighten the screw.
CAUTION!
1.Use only 1.5 AA new batteries with this device. Replace the batteries as soon
as possible after a low battery indicator appears.
2.If the oximeter does not work after installed the batteries. Reinstall the batteries.
