Overview
The document provides technical information about a Fingertip Pulse Oximeter, a medical device used to measure blood oxygen saturation (SpO2) and pulse rate non-invasively.
Main Sections
1. Specifications
- Measurement Parameters: Blood oxygen saturation (SpO2) and pulse rate.
- Measurement Range: Typically SpO2 from 70% to 100%, pulse rate from 30 to 250 beats per minute.
- Accuracy: SpO2 accuracy usually ±2% in the 70%-100% range; pulse rate accuracy ±2 beats per minute or ±2%.
- Display: OLED or LED screen showing SpO2, pulse rate, and pulse waveform or bar graph.
- Power Supply: Battery operated, often using AAA batteries.
2. Operating Procedures
- Place the device on the fingertip ensuring proper fit.
- Turn on the device; wait for stable readings.
- Read SpO2 and pulse rate values on the display.
- Remove device after measurement.
3. Standards and Compliance
- Compliance with medical device standards such as ISO 80601-2-61 for pulse oximeters.
- Electrical safety and electromagnetic compatibility standards.
4. Recommendations and Best Practices
- Ensure finger is clean and warm for accurate readings.
- Minimize movement during measurement to avoid artifacts.
- Use in appropriate ambient light conditions to prevent interference.
- Regularly check battery status to ensure device reliability.
5. Limitations
- Accuracy may be affected by poor circulation, nail polish, or skin pigmentation.
- Not a substitute for professional medical diagnosis.
Summary of Key Data
The device provides quick, non-invasive monitoring of oxygen saturation and pulse rate with reasonable accuracy within specified ranges. Proper usage and adherence to guidelines are critical for reliable results.
