CHOICEMMED Finger Pulse Oximeter Instruction Manual

Introduction

The CHOICEMMED Finger Pulse Oximeter is a non-invasive device designed for spot-checking blood oxygen saturation (SpO2) and pulse rate (PR) in adults and children. It is intended for home use and provides a convenient way to monitor these vital signs.

Important: This device is not intended for continuous monitoring or medical diagnosis. Consult a healthcare professional for interpretation of results and medical advice.

2. Attaching the Lanyard

Thread the thin end of the lanyard through the loop hole on the side of the oximeter. Then, thread the thicker end of the lanyard through the thin loop and pull to secure it.

Operating Instructions

1. Taking a Measurement

1. Ensure the oximeter has batteries installed.
2. Open the clamp of the oximeter.
3. Insert one of your fingers (preferably the index, middle, or ring finger) into the rubber opening of the oximeter, ensuring your fingernail is facing upwards towards the display.
4. Release the clamp, allowing the oximeter to gently close on your finger.
5. Press the power button once to turn on the device.
6. Keep your hand still and avoid movement during the measurement.
7. The readings for SpO2 (blood oxygen saturation) and PR (pulse rate) will appear on the display within a few seconds.
8. The device will automatically power off after approximately 8 seconds of inactivity.

2. Understanding the Display

The oximeter features a bright LED display that shows your SpO2 and Pulse Rate. The display direction can be changed for easy viewing.

• %SpO2: Blood Oxygen Saturation level.
• PR BPM: Pulse Rate in beats per minute.
• Pulse Bar Graph: Indicates the strength of the pulse.
• Battery Indicator: Shows the remaining battery life.

Maintenance

Cleaning the Oximeter

• Clean the surface of the oximeter before and after each use.
• Use a soft cloth dampened with medical alcohol (70% isopropyl alcohol) to wipe the surface.
• Do not immerse the oximeter in water or any other cleaning solution.
• Avoid using abrasive cleaners or corrosive chemicals.
• Ensure the device is completely dry before storage or next use.

Battery Replacement and Storage

• Replace batteries when the low power indicator appears on the display.
• If the oximeter will not be used for an extended period (more than 3 months), remove the batteries to prevent leakage and damage to the device.
• Store the oximeter in its carrying case in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight, extreme temperatures, and moisture.
