Section 1- Overview

Intended Use

The Pulse Oximeter is intended for spot checking in measuring and displaying
functional arterial oxygen saturation (SpO2), pulse rate and temperature of patients
in hospitals, physician's office, clinical settings and home care environment.
Target population: Adult, adolescent and child.

About the Pulse Oximeter

The device contains a dual light source (red LED and infrared red LED) and a photo
detector. Bone, tissue, pigmentation and venous vessels normally absorb a constant
amount of light over time. The arteriolar bed normally pulsates and absorbs variable
amounts of light during the pulsations. The ratio of light absorbed is translated in an
oxygen saturation measurement (SpO2). Because a measurement of SpO2 is
dependent on light from the device, excessive ambient light can interfere with this
measurement.
