Intended Use
This device is a pulse oximeter that combines the monitor and
sensor into one assembly that measures SpO
pulse strength on the finger. It may be used as a spot check device in
the home, hospital or clinical environments, including patient ground
transport in clinical and EMS (Emergency Medical Services) settings.
The pulse oximeter will provide reliable measurements on patients
ranging from pediatric to adults. The oximeter will operate accurately
over an ambient temperature range of 32 to 131°F (0 to 55°C).
This device is not intended for continuous patient monitoring. There are
no audible or visible patient alarms.
