1. Product Overview
The Innovo Deluxe Fingertip Pulse Oximeter is designed to provide accurate measurements of blood oxygen saturation (SpO2) and pulse rate (PR) at your fingertip. This device is equipped with advanced features such as a Plethysmograph and Perfusion Index (PI) to enhance the reliability of readings, especially in conditions of low blood perfusion. Its compact and user-friendly design makes it suitable for sports enthusiasts, aviators, and home use.

Key Features:
- Accurate and Reliable: Improved LED and sensor for SpO2 and pulse rate measurement even at low blood perfusion.
- Plethysmograph and Perfusion Index (PI): Features that ensure accurate readings and inform you of pulse strength. A PI value less than 0.2% indicates potential issues like cold hands or improper positioning.
- Upgraded Hardware and Software: Includes auditory alarm, pulse detection beeps, and adjustable display brightness.
- Versatile Use: Ideal for climbers, skiers, bikers, aviators, and for tracking SpO2 and pulse rate before or after exercise.
- Ready to Use: Comes with 2x AAA batteries and a lanyard for immediate convenience.

2. Setup
2.1. Battery Installation
- Open the battery compartment cover located on the back of the device.
- Insert two AAA batteries into the compartment, ensuring correct polarity (+ and -).
- Close the battery compartment cover securely.
2.2. Attaching the Lanyard
The device comes with a lanyard for easy carrying and to prevent loss. Follow these steps to attach it:
- Insert the loop of the lanyard into the lanyard holes on the device.
- Thread the lanyard strap through the loop.
- Pull the lanyard strap until it is tight and secured.

3. Operating Instructions
3.1. Taking a Measurement
- Insert one of your fingers completely into the rubber opening of the oximeter with the nail surface upward.
- Press the power button on the front panel to turn on the oximeter.
- Keep your hand still during the measurement. Movement can affect accuracy.
- Read the measured data from the display screen. The SpO2 (blood oxygen saturation) and PRbpm (pulse rate) values will be shown. The Plethysmograph waveform and Perfusion Index (PI) will also be displayed.
- The device will automatically power off after approximately 8 seconds if no finger is detected, conserving battery life.

3.2. Understanding Your Readings
- SpO2 (%): This indicates the percentage of oxygen in your blood. Normal healthy adult values are typically between 95% and 100%.
- PRbpm: This is your pulse rate, measured in beats per minute.
- Plethysmograph: The waveform displayed on the screen. Each wave corresponds to a heartbeat, and the amplitude indicates the amount of blood detected. A stable, consistent waveform suggests a reliable reading.
- Perfusion Index (PI): This value reflects the strength of your pulse signal. A PI value below 0.2% may indicate that your finger is too cold or improperly positioned, potentially affecting reading accuracy. Warm your finger and reposition it directly under the LED lights for better results.
3.3. Display Orientation and Settings
The display orientation can be changed by briefly pressing the power button while the device is on. This allows for viewing the readings from different angles. The device also features adjustable alarm limits for SpO2 and pulse rate, and brightness settings, accessible through a menu by holding down the power button.
4. Maintenance
4.1. Cleaning
To clean the oximeter, wipe the surface with a soft cloth dampened with medical alcohol (70% isopropyl alcohol). Do not immerse the device in water or any cleaning solution. Ensure the device is completely dry before reuse.
4.2. Battery Replacement
When the battery indicator on the display shows low power, replace the batteries promptly to ensure accurate readings. Follow the battery installation steps in Section 2.1.
4.3. Storage
Store the oximeter in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight, extreme temperatures, and humidity. If the device will not be used for an extended period, remove the batteries to prevent leakage and damage.
5. Troubleshooting
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Display shows "Finger out" or no reading. | Finger not inserted correctly or too much movement. | Reinsert finger firmly and keep still. Ensure finger is directly under the LED lights. |
| Inaccurate or fluctuating readings. | Cold fingers, nail polish, excessive movement, or weak batteries. | Warm hands before measurement. Remove nail polish. Remain still. Replace batteries if low. Check PI value for signal strength. |
| Device does not turn on. | Batteries are dead or incorrectly installed. | Check battery polarity. Replace with new AAA batteries. |
If problems persist after attempting the above solutions, please contact Innovo customer support for further assistance.
