Finger Pulse Oximeter Parameters - OctiveTech 300-series

1. Overview

This document contains an overview of suggested operating parameters for the OctiveTech series of Finger Pulse Oximeters (http://www.clinicalguard.com/digit-pulse-oximeters-c-25.html). This document is intended to be a guide only, and should not be used as a substitute for clinical diagnosis performed by a licensed practitioner.

2. Extended Specifications

Spo2 Measurements Pulse Rate Range: 0% - 100%
Resolution: 1% 30-254 BPM
Resolution: ±1bpm Accuracy: 80% - 99%, ±2% Accuracy: ±2bpm or ±2% Accuracy: 70% - 79%, ±3% Accuracy: 0% - 69%, unspecified

3. Measurement Interpretation

This section contains a guideline on various levels of blood oxygen and heart rate that are within tolerable ranges.

3.1 Oxygen Saturation

Measurement Critical Notes Spo2 > 95% N Normal healthy individual Spo2 91% - 95% N Clinically acceptable, but low. Patient may be a smoker, or be unhealthy. Spo2 70% - 90% Y Hypoxemia. Unhealthy and unsafe level. Spo2 < 70% Y Extreme lack of oxygen, ischemic diseases may occur. The OctiveTech 300-series of Oximeters is not calibrated to detect readings lower than 70%.

3.2 Resting Pulse Rate

Measurement Critical Notes PR <40 BMP Y Below healthy resting heart rates. OctiveTech 300-series does not detect pulse rates lower than 30BMP. PR 40-60 BPM Y/N Resting heart rate for sleeping. PR 60-100 BPM N Healthy adult resting heartrate. PR 100 BPM – 220 BPM Y Acceptable if measured during exercise. Not acceptable if resting heartrate. PR > 220 BPM Y Abnormally high heart rate. The OctiveTech 300-series does not detect heart rates > 254 BPM.

More Information

Finger pulse oximeter (http://www.clinicalguard.com/digit-pulse-oximeters-c-25.html)  uses light-emitting diodes (LED) to emit red light and infrared light whose wavelengths are 660nm and 940nm respectively. By calculating the difference of the absorption of the lights in these two wavelengths between oxyhaemoglobin and deoxyhaemoglobin, oxygen saturation of blood can be obtained through a certain algorithm by means of built-in integrated circuits (IC). Hence, it is important to keep the probe clean so that the lights are not blocked by dirt or dusts.

Oil and/or dirt may accumulate over months no matter that the oximeter is used or not. It happens even for a new oximeter, although rarely. If your oximeter is not working accurately or shows error information, you may need to consider a cleaning. You need to use a soft dry clean cloth to clean the inside of the clip, especially near the LED (the light emitters, you can see a beam of red light from one, but no visible light comes from the other). Please note NEVER use water or other liquid to clean the probe because of the concern of corrosion or accumulation of mud.

In this way, you can keep your oximeter (http://www.clinicalguard.com/digit-pulse-oximeters-c-25.html) long life and have accurate readings. If you unfortunately have your oximeter damaged or dysfunctional, please check out our website http://www.clinicalguard.com to choose a reliable oximeter (http://www.clinicalguard.com/digit-pulse-oximeters-c-25.html).
