Monitoring

Once powered on and properly connected, the device will begin monitoring. The OLED screen will display real-time data:

• SpO2 Value Display: Shows your current blood oxygen saturation level.
• Pulse Rate Value Indicator: Displays your current pulse rate (heart rate).
• SpO2 Waveform Display: A graphical representation of your SpO2 changes over time.
• Nose Air Flow Display Indicator: Shows the pattern of your nasal airflow, crucial for sleep apnea monitoring.
• Battery Capacity Indicator: Displays the remaining battery life.
• Time Display: Shows the current time.
• Bar Graph Indicator: Provides a visual representation of pulse strength.

Alarms

The device is equipped with alarms to alert the user to important conditions:

• Low Power Alarm: Indicates when the battery is running low and requires charging.
• Finger-Out Alarm: Alerts if the oximeter probe is not properly attached or has come off the finger.
• Exceeded Limits Alarm: Notifies the user if measured parameters (e.g., SpO2, pulse rate) fall outside predefined safe limits. These limits can often be configured in the device settings or accompanying software.

Maintenance

• Cleaning: Regularly clean the device surface with a soft, dry cloth. For disinfection, use a cloth lightly dampened with medical alcohol (75% ethanol). Do not immerse the device in water or any cleaning solutions.
• Sensor Care: Keep the oximeter probe clean and free from dust or debris. Handle the sensor gently to avoid damage.
• Nasal Tube Care: The nasal tube should be cleaned or replaced regularly according to hygiene recommendations. Consult a healthcare professional for specific guidance on tube replacement frequency.
• Battery Charging: Ensure the device is charged regularly to maintain optimal performance. Avoid completely draining the battery for extended periods.
• Storage: Store the device in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight, extreme temperatures, and high humidity.
• Software Updates: If applicable, periodically check the manufacturer's website for any software or firmware updates for the device.
