IChoice OX200 - Pulse Oximeter + Relaxation Coach Manual

PRECAUTIONS FOR USE

1. Read the manual carefully before use.
2. The fingertip sensor is sensitive to motion. Keep your hand still while in use.
3. The fingertip sensor requires a sufficient blood flow to obtain proper readings. Poor blood circulation can result in inaccurate readings. If your hands are cold or you have poor circulation, warm up your hands before attempting to obtain a reading.
4. A tourniquet, blood pressure cuff or other blood flow hindrances may also result in inaccurate readings.
5. Nail polish and/or acrylic nails may also affect the readings. We reccommend turning your finger on it's side when in use.
6. Your finger must be clean for a proper reading.
7. The fingertip sensor must be clean for a proper reading.
8. If a reading is difficult to obtain, switch to another finger or to the other hand.
9. There are a number of other conditions which may lead to an inaccurate reading including but not limited to recent medical tests that included an injection of dyes, use of arterial catheters, a weak pulse, low levels of hemoglobin in the blood, low perfusion (the quality of your pulse), elevated levels of dysfunctional hemoglobin, the strength and type of light that you are in while using the pulse oximeter and the existence of transmitters within certain ranges of the sensor during use.
10. The sensor will not alert you if your readings are out of normal range. There is no SpO 2 alarms; it is not for continuous monitoring, as indicated by the symbol.
11. Explosion hazard: Do not use the sensor in an explosive atmosphere.
    Inaccurate measurements may be caused by FACTORS INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO:
12. Ethylene oxide sterilizing or immersing the sensors in liquid.
13. Significant levels of dysfunctional hemoglobin (such ascarbonxyhemoglobin or methemoglobin).
14. Intravascular dyes such as indocyanine green or methylene blue.
15. SpO 2 measurements may be adversely affected in the presence of high ambient light such as direct sunlight. In bright light conditions, cover the sensor area if necessary.
16. Excessive user movement.
17. High-frequency electrosurgical interference and defibrillators.
18. Venous pulsations.
19. Hypotension, severe vasoconstriction, severe anemia or hypothermia.

1. The pulse bar indicates the adequacy of Pulse Rate and SpO If the bar shows less than 30%, readings may be inaccurate.
2. If the screen displays the signal strength symbol (?), the unit is having trouble getting a reading. Keep your hands still and retry.

GENERAL USE INSTRUCTIONS

1. Open the clamp as shown in the picture above. Using your thumb and pointer, gently squeeze the back end of the unit. Place one of your fingers into the opening. Your finger should be inserted fully.
2. The unit will automatically turn on when the unit is opened and a finger is inserted. It will automatically begin taking a reading. Remember to keep your hands still for the reading. Do not shake your finger during the test. It is recommended that you do not move your body while taking a reading.
3. The display will automatically show your pulse rate and oxygen level readings after a few seconds. Note: Your pulse rate will not stabilize. It will constantly change as your pulse rate is based on your heart beats.
4. When there is no signal, a low signal is detected, or a finger is removed, the unit will power off automatically.

FAQ

What is a Pulse Oximeter?
A pulse oximeter is a non-invasive device that monitors blood oxygen saturation (SpO 2 ) and pulse rate (heart rate). Pulse oximeters provide an easy way of assessing your blood oxygen level and pulse rate.

What is SpO 2?
SpO 2 is also known as oxygen saturation. Oxygen saturation is a measure of how much oxygen the blood is carrying as a percentage of the maximum it could carry.

What is a normal reading?
Pulse Rate - The normal resting range for pulse rate is typically considered from 60-100 beats per minute. Ask your health professional this question as it pertains to you. Oxygen Saturation - The normal range for SpO 2 is typically considered from 95%-99%. The SpO 2 measurement may be lower for people who live at high altitudes. Ask your health professional this question as it pertains to you.

What kind of conditions may cause an inaccurate reading?
Cold hands, poor circulation, weak pulse, movement, fingernail polish and acrylic nails may cause inaccurate results.

The SpO 2 is not changing – is it stuck?
Your SpO 2 reading will not change rapidly like the pulse rate reading. It may vary by 1%-2%.

The pulse rate is changing rapidly – is it broken?
Your heart rate changes with emotions, excitement and exercise. It is normal for the readings to fluctuate.

When do I charge the battery?
The battery indicator on the display will blink when charging is needed. A stable battery icon indicates the unit is fully charged.
