1. Introduction
The CONTEC CMS50D2 Digital Finger Pulse Oximeter is designed for non-invasive spot-check measurement of functional oxygen saturation of arterial hemoglobin (SpO2), pulse rate (PR), and Perfusion Index (PI). This device is suitable for use at home, in clinics, and hospitals. It features a clear display with adjustable brightness, pulse waveform, and automatic power-saving standby.
Key Features:
- Accurate SpO₂ Monitoring: Real-time blood oxygen saturation (SpO₂) display helps track oxygen levels quickly and reliably.
- Pulse Rate with Waveform & Bar Graph: Displays pulse rate (PR) along with a visual bar graph and pulse waveform.
- Perfusion Index (PI) Display (Optional): Provides insight into blood circulation and signal strength.
- Smart Battery Indicators: Low-battery alert and battery power level display.
- Auto Power-Saving Standby: Automatically switches to standby mode when not in use.
- Multiple Display Modes & Adjustable Brightness: User-friendly screen with adjustable brightness for clear visibility.
2. Safety Information
- Consult a medical professional for interpretation of readings. This device is not intended for continuous monitoring or self-diagnosis.
- Do not use the oximeter in an MRI or CT environment.
- Keep out of reach of children.
- Do not use on infants or individuals with very small fingers.
- Avoid using the device on the same arm as a blood pressure cuff or arterial catheter.
- Do not immerse the device in water or other liquids.
- Dispose of batteries according to local regulations.
