 General Description

Oxygen saturation indicates the percentage of hemoglobin in arterial blood that is loaded with oxygen. This is a very important parameter for the respiratory circulation system.
Many respiratory diseases can result in lower oxygen saturation within human blood.

Following factors can reduce oxygen saturation:  Automatic regulation of organ dysfunction caused by anesthesia, intensive postoperative trauma, injuries caused by some medical examinations. These situations may result in light-headedness, asthenia, and vomiting. Therefore, it is very important to know the oxygen saturation of a patient so that
doctors can detect problems in a timely manner.

Measurement Principles

Principle of this fingertip pulse oximeter: A mathematical formula is established making use of Lambert-Beer Law according to spectrum absorption characteristics of
deoxygenated hemoglobin (Hb) and oxyhemoglobin (HbO2) in red and near-infrared zones.

Operation principle of this device: Photoelectric oxyhemoglobin inspection technology is adopted in accordance with capacity pulse scanning and recording technology so that two beams of different wavelengths of lights (660 nm red and 905 nm near-infrared light) can be focused onto a human nail tip through a clamping finger-type sensor. A
the measured signal obtained by a photosensitive element will be shown on the display through the process in electronic circuits and microprocessors.

Diagram of Operation Principle 10 :

  1. Red and infrared-ray emission tube.
  2. Red and infrared-ray receipt tube.

Directions for Use

  1. Insert the batteries as described in the «Inserting the batteries 7» section.
  2. Insert one finger (nail side up; index or middle finger is recommended) into the finger opening of the device. Be sure to fully insert the finger so that the sensors are completely covered by the finger.
  3. Release the device allowing it to clamp down on the finger.
  4. Press the ON/OFF button 1 to turn the device on.
  5. Do not shake your finger during the test. It is recommended that you do not move your body whilst taking a reading.
  6.  Your measurement values will appear on the screen after a few seconds.
  7.  Remove your finger from the device. The display will indicate «Finger Out».
  8.  The device will automatically switch off after approx.
    8 seconds after the finger is removed from the device.
    microlife OXY 300 Fingertip Pulse Oximeter - Symbols 18 The height of bar graph 5 is an indication of the pulse and signal strength. The bar should be greater than 30 % for a proper reading.
    microlife OXY 300 Fingertip Pulse Oximeter - Symbols 18The device must be able to measure the pulse properly to obtain an accurate SpO2 measurement.
    Verify that nothing is hindering the pulse measurement before relying on the SpO2 measurement.
    microlife OXY 300 Fingertip Pulse Oximeter - Symbols 18The maximum application time at a single site should be less than 30 minutes, in order to ensure correct sensor alignment and skin integrity.

Inaccurate measurements may occur if:

  •  The patient suffers from significant levels of dysfunctional hemoglobin (such as carboxyhemoglobin or methemoglobin).
  • Intravascular dyes such as indocyanine green or methylene blue have been injected into the patient.
  •  Used in the presence of high ambient light (e.g. direct sunlight). Shield the sensor area with a surgical towel if necessary.
  •  There is excessive patient movement.
  •  The patient experiences venous pulsations.
  •  The patient has hypotension, severe vasoconstriction, severe anemia, or hypothermia.
  •  The patient is in cardiac arrest or is in shock.
  •  Fingernail polish or false fingernails are applied.

Inserting the batteries 7

After you have unpacked your device, first insert the batteries. The battery compartment is on the bottom of the device. Remove the battery cover by sliding it in the direction
