11 Safety Notes This finger holder is designed only for use on the fingers of adults,so it should not be used on any other body parts. Never secure the finger holder with tape or such like. Doing somay cause hemostasia or dropsy. Notes on Use • Remove nail polish before taking measurements. • If no ...

12 Ending Measurements 1. Open the finger holder and remove the finger. • Measurement will stop automatically, and the display will gooff after 10 seconds. Notes on Use • If the instrument will not be used for a long period of time, remove thebatteries from the battery chamber.

13 How to Read the Measurement Values Pulse level meter: Indicates the pulse level in 8 levels (0 to 10%, fullscale if 10% or higher). The pulse level is defined as follows. (Forstable measurements, adjust the measuring point of the finger holderor rub or warm the measuring point to improve blood ci...

20 11. REFERENCE Measurement Principle Oxygen Saturation Monitor PULSOX-2 is a photometric instrumentthat non-invasively and continuously measures the oxyhemoglobinsaturation of arterial blood (SpO 2 ) and the pulse rate. SpO 2 is described by the equation: SpO 2 = C (HbO 2 ) × 100 (% SpO 2 ) C (HbO...

21 Relation between Oxygen Saturation and Partial Pressure The relation between oxygen saturation (SpO 2 , %) and oxygen partial pressure (PaO 2 , torr or mmHg) is shown in the graph below. SpO 2 is the oxygen saturation as measured by pulse oximeters. Oxygen Saturation vs. Oxygen Partial Pressure 1...
