 The function of this device may be compromised when
used close to strong electromagnetic fields such as
mobile phones or radio installations and we recom-
mend a distance of at least 1 m (according to 60601-1-
2 table 5). In cases where you suspect this to be
unavoidable, please verify if the device is working prop-
erly before use.
 Do not use the device in an MRI or CT environment.
 This device is not intended for continuous monitoring.
 Do not sterilize this device using autoclaving or
ethylene oxide sterilizing. This device is not intended
for sterilization.
 If the device is not going to be used for a prolonged
period the batteries should be removed.
Ensure that children do not use this device unsu-
pervised; some parts are small enough to be
swallowed. Be aware of the risk of strangulation in
case this device is supplied with cables or tubes.
Use of this device is not intended as a substitute
for a consultation with your doctor.

3. General Description

Oxygen saturation indicates the percentage of hemoglobin
in arterial blood that is loaded with oxygen. This is a very
important parameter for the respiratory circulation system.
OXY 500 BT
Many respiratory diseases can result in lower oxygen satu-
ration within human blood.
Following factors can reduce oxygen saturation: Auto-
matic regulation of organ dysfunction caused by anes-
thesia, intensive postoperative trauma, injuries caused by
some medical examinations. These situations may result in
light-headedness, asthenia and vomiting. Therefore, it is
very important to know the oxygen saturation of a patient
so that doctors can detect problems in a timely manner.

4. Measurement Principles

Principle of this fingertip pulse oximeter: A mathemat-
ical formula is established making use of Lambert Beer
Law according to spectrum absorption characteristics of
deoxygenated hemoglobin (Hb) and oxyhemoglobin
(HbO ) in red and near-infrared zones.

Operation principle of this device: Photoelectric oxyhe-
moglobin inspection technology is adopted in accordance
with capacity pulse scanning and recording technology, so
that two beams of different wavelength of lights (660 nm
red and 905 nm near infrared light) can be focused onto a
human nail tip through a clamping finger-type sensor. A
measured signal obtained by a photosensitive element, will
be shown on the display through process in electronic
circuits and microprocessor.

5. Directions for Use

1. Insert the batteries as described in the «Inserting the
batteries 6» section.
2. Insert one finger (nail side up; index or middle finger is
recommended) into the finger opening of the device.
Be sure to fully insert the finger so that the sensors are
completely covered by the finger.
3. Release the device allowing it to clamp down on the
finger.
4. Press the ON/OFF button 1 to turn the device on.
5. Do not shake your finger during the test. It is recom-
mended that you do not move your body whilst taking
a reading.
6. Your measurement values will appear on the screen
after a few seconds.
7. Remove your finger from the device.
8. The device will automatically switch off after approx.
10±2 seconds after the finger is removed from the
device.

The height of the bar graph 4 is an indication of
the pulse and signal strength. The bar should be
greater than 30 % for a proper reading.
