ViATOM Bluetooth Pulse Oximeter User Manual

1. Introduction

The ViATOM Bluetooth Pulse Oximeter is a compact, non-invasive device designed for spot-checking and continuous monitoring of blood oxygen saturation (SpO2), pulse rate (PR), and perfusion index (PI). Utilizing advanced infrared light technology, it provides accurate and reliable measurements for health monitoring. This device is suitable for use by adults and children in home environments, sports, or aviation. It features an OLED display for clear readings and can connect to a mobile application for data storage and trend analysis.

1.1 Key Features

• Accurate and Fast Measurement: Advanced finger sensor uses infrared light to capture body movements and collect precise SpO2, PI, and heart rate information.
• APP for iOS & Android: Receives data from the oximeter and automatically saves it (only when the APP is running) to display real-time data, graphical reports, and trends.
• Instant Start: Simply wear the oximeter to begin. O2, pulse rate, and PI values are measured and displayed on the clear OLED screen.
• Alarm for Abnormal Readings: Screen flashes to warn you if values are outside preset thresholds.
• Built-in Memory: Stores up to 12 groups of records directly on the device. Unlimited historical data can be saved via the APP.
• Auto On & Off: Device automatically powers on when a finger is inserted and off when removed.

5.3 Bluetooth Pairing

1. Ensure Bluetooth is enabled on your smartphone.
2. Open the ViHealth app.
3. Insert your finger into the oximeter to turn it on.
4. Within the app, navigate to the device connection section (usually indicated by a Bluetooth icon or "Connect Device").
5. Select the ViATOM Pulse Oximeter from the list of available devices. The device name might appear as "Checkme O2" or similar.
6. Once connected, the app will display "Connected" and begin receiving real-time data from the oximeter.

6. Operating Instructions

6.1 Taking a Measurement

1. Ensure the oximeter has batteries installed and is clean.
2. Open the clamp of the oximeter.
3. Insert one of your fingers (preferably the index or middle finger) fully into the finger chamber, ensuring the nail is facing upwards towards the display.
4. Release the clamp. The device will automatically turn on and begin measurement.
5. Keep your hand still during the measurement. Movement can affect accuracy.
6. Readings for SpO2, Pulse Rate, and PI will appear on the OLED display within a few seconds.
7. The device features an "Auto On & Off" function, meaning it will automatically turn off after approximately 8 seconds of inactivity (when no finger is detected).

6.2 Interpreting Readings

• SpO2 (%): Blood Oxygen Saturation. Normal values typically range from 95% to 100%.
• PR (bpm): Pulse Rate (Heart Rate) in beats per minute. Normal adult resting heart rate is usually between 60 and 100 bpm.
• PI (%): Perfusion Index. Indicates the strength of the pulse signal at the measurement site. Higher PI values generally indicate a stronger signal.
• Pulse Waveform: A graphical representation of your pulse, indicating the regularity and strength of your heartbeat.

6.3 Alarm for Abnormal Readings

The oximeter is equipped with an alarm function. If your blood oxygen saturation, pulse rate, or PI values fall below or rise above the preset thresholds, the oximeter's screen will flash to warn you. These thresholds can often be customized within the ViHealth app.

6.4 Spot Check vs. Continuous Mode

The device supports both quick spot checks and continuous monitoring, depending on your needs and app settings.

6.5 Using the ViHealth App

The ViHealth app enhances the functionality of your oximeter:

• Real-time Data: View live SpO2, PR, and PI readings directly on your phone.
• Data Storage: The app automatically saves measurement data (only when the app is running and connected). The oximeter itself has built-in memory for up to 12 groups of records, which can be browsed directly on the device. Unlimited historical data can be saved via the app.
• Graphical Reports: Generate and view graphical reports of your blood oxygen saturation and heart rate trends over time.
• Data Sharing: Easily share your graphical reports (as images) with healthcare professionals or family members.
• Settings: Adjust alarm thresholds, display brightness, and other device settings through the app.

7. Maintenance

7.1 Cleaning the Device

• Before cleaning, ensure the device is turned off and batteries are removed if storing for a long period.
