Thank you for purchasing a LANAFORM® "PULSE OXIMETER".
This pulse oximeter permits the simple, reliable, non-invasive and continuous measurement of blood
oxygen saturation and the pulse rate of both adults and children.
A FEW WORDS ABOUT THE PUlSE OXIMETER...
EN
1. Field of application of the device
A pulse oximeter can be used to measure the functional oxygen saturation of arterial haemoglobin (SpO2)
and heart rate. Placed on your finger, it can be used not only at home but also in a sports context, by
medical-social organisations, etc. This device is not intended to be used for continuous monitoring.
2. General description
A pulse oximeter is a non-invasive method used to measure the oxygen saturation level in the blood (SpO2)
by testing the haemoglobin percentage saturated with oxygen as well as measuring heart rate. This process
has been in regular use for over 20 years and has become an essential test in medical practice for making
sure that oxygen levels are maintained and breathing difficulties are prevented.
The oxygen saturation value may be considered as dangerous if it is lower than 90% in the case of arterial
blood. The normal value is 100% under normal atmospheric conditions.
LANAFORM'S oximeter has the advantage of taking up little space, enjoys low energy consumption, is easy
to handle and is portable.
When you place your finger in the photoelectric sensor, a diagnosis of the haemoglobin saturation values
measured as well as the heart rate are displayed directly.
3. Principle of measurement
The principle of measurement is based on the Beer-Lambert law. The principle is based on the emission of
two lights (red and infrared) of 640 and 940 nm respectively and the measurement of their absorption by
the pulsatile flux. The sensor comprises two diodes emitting a red light which must be located opposite an
