1. General Description
Thank you for purchasing OxyWatch C15D pulse oximeter. This
oximeter can be used to measure your blood oxygen saturation (in %
SpO2) and your pulse rate. It should be used for spot monitoring only
and not for continuous monitoring.
The OxyWatch C15D Finger-Unit spot check oximeter is only for sports
and aviation use. It is ideal for use during sports activities, mountain
climbing and piloting airplanes. It is not intended to diagnosis any
medical condition or to be used in medical applications.
2. Package Contents
1. OxyWatch C15D Pulse Oximeter
2. Lanyard
3. User Manual
4. Carrying Pouch
5. 2 AAA Batteries
1. Read the manual carefully before use.
2. Pulse oximeters are sensitive to motion artifacts. Keep hands still
while taking a reading.
3. Pulse oximeters require sufcient blood ow to obtain proper readings.
Poor blood circulation can result in inaccurate readings. If your hands
are cold or you have poor circulation, warm your hands by rubbing
them together or use another method before attempting to obtain a
reading. A tourniquet, blood pressure cuff or other blood ow
hindrances may also result in inaccurate readings.
4. Fingernail polish or acrylic nails obstruct the light transmission and
may also result in inaccurate readings.
5. Your nger must be clean for a proper reading.
6. The pulse oximeter must be clean for a proper reading.
7. If a reading is difcult to obtain, switch to another nger or to the other hand.
8. There are a number of other conditions which may lead to an
inaccurate reading including but not limited to recent medical tests that
included an injection of dyes, use of arterial catheters, a weak pulse,
low levels of hemoglobin in the blood, low perfusion (the quality of
your pulse), elevated levels of dysfunctional hemoglobin, the strength
and type of light that you are in while using the pulse oximeter and the
existence of cell phones, radios, and xed transmitters within certain
ranges of the pulse oximeter during use.
9. The pulse oximeter will not alert you if your readings are out of
normal range.
10. Explosion hazard: Do not use the pulse oximeter in an explosive
atmosphere.
11. The pulse oximeter has no SpO2alarms; it is not for continuous
monitoring, as indicated by the symbol.
3. Precautions for Use
NOTE: Install the batteries in right polarity. Incorrect placement may
cause damage to the bracket.
NOTE: Remove the batteries if the pulse oximeter will not be used for
long periods of time.
3. The battery indicator symbol on the front panel display will light when
the battery voltage is too low for normal operation of the pulse oximeter.
Replace the batteries when indicator symbol lights.
5. Using the Oximeter
3. Press the switch button one time on front panel to turn the pulse oximeter on.
1. Open the clamp as shown in the picture.
2. Place one of your ngers into the rubber
opening of the pulse oximeter (your nger
should touch the bottom portion) before
releasing the clamp.
1. Install two AAA batteries
into the battery compartment.
Match the plus (+) and minus
(-) signs in the compartment.
If the polarities are not
matched, damage may be
caused to the oximeter.
2. Slide the battery door cover
horizontally along the arrow
as shown in the picture.
4. Battery Installation
2. Signicant levels of dysfunctional hemoglobin (such as carbonxy-
hemoglobin or methemoglobin).
3. Intravascular dyes such as indocyanine green or methylene blue.
4. SpO2measurements may be adversely affected in the presence of
high ambient light such as direct sunlight. In bright light conditions,
cover the sensor area if necessary.
5. Excessive user movement.
6. High-frequency electrosurgical interference and debrillators.
7. Venous pulsations.
8. The user has hypotension, severe vasoconstriction, severe anemia or
hypothermia.
9. Fingernail polish or false ngernails may cause inaccurate SpO2
readings.
1. Autoclaving, ethylene oxide sterilizing or immersing the sensors in liquid.
In addition to items described in the Precautions for Use, inaccurate
measurements may be caused by FACTORS INCLUDING BUT NOT
LIMITED TO:
Slide Cover
7. Brief Description of Front Panel
The height of the Pulse Bar graph indicates the intensity of the pulse and
signal strength. The bar should be greater than 30% for a proper reading.
6. Maintenance
1. Clean the pulse oximeter and sensor with a soft cloth dampened with
isopropyl alcohol. Do not pour or spray any liquids onto the pulse
oximeter. Do not allow any liquid to enter any openings in the device.
Allow the pulse oximeter to dry thoroughly before reusing.
(The rubber inside of the pulse oximeter is composed of medical
grade rubber. It is non-toxic and is not harmful to the skin.)
2. The pulse oximeter requires no routine calibration or maintenance
other than replacement of the batteries.
4. Keep your hands still for the reading. Do not shake your nger during
the test. It is recommended that you do not move your body while
taking a reading.
5. Read the data from the display screen.
7. When you press the power switch for more than one second, the
brightness of the pulse oximeter will be changed by degrees. There
are 10 levels of brightness. The default level is level four.
8. When no signal or low signal is detected, the pulse oximeter will
power off automatically in 8 seconds.
6. There are four display modes. After turning on the pulse oximeter,
each time you press the power switch, the pulse oximeter will switch
to another display mode.

Battery Installation What is a Pulse Oximeter?
A pulse oximeter is a non-invasive device that
indirectly monitors blood oxygen saturation (SpO2)
and pulse rate (heart rate). It displays both blood
oxygen saturation (SpO2) and pulse rate (heart
rate). Pulse oximeters provide an easy way of
assessing your blood oxygen level and pulse rate.
What is SpO2?
SpO2is also known as oxygen saturation. Oxygen
saturation is a measure of how much oxygen the
blood is carrying as a percentage of the maximum
it could carry.
What is the normal range of SpO2?
The normal range for SpO2is typically considered
from 95%~99%. The SpO2measurement may be
lower for people who live at high altitudes. Ask
your health professional this question as it pertains
to you.
What is the normal range for pulse rate?
The normal resting range for pulse rate is typically
considered from 60~100 beats per minute. Ask
your health professional this question as it pertains
to you.
What kind of conditions may cause an
inaccurate reading?
Cold hands, poor circulation, very weak pulse,
movement, ngernail polish and acrylic nails may
cause inaccurate results.
The SpO2is not changing – it’s stuck?
SpO2does not change like pulse rate. It is slow to
change.
The pulse rate is changing rapidly.
Your heart rate changes with emotions, excitement
and exercise.
I do not see the battery light indicator.
The battery light indicator only appears when the
battery is low.
Place one of your ngers into the pulse oximeter to
the end and press the switch button one time on front
panel to turn it on.
Operation Instruction
Tie the lanyard through the hole in the rear of the
pulse oximeter.
