6.1.2 Spot Checking
The oximeter device will start to measure and display values of % SpO
2
and pulse rate (bpm) at
refreshing intervals of one second (SpO
2
averaging time is 12 seconds). In order to insure optimum
accuracy, please note the following:
Do not secure the device with tape.
Ensure that the tested hand has unrestricted blood flow.
Do not select a testing site near potential electrical interference.
FREQUENCY OF INSPECTION OF APPLICATION SITE FOR SKIN INTEGRITY
Inspect the application site, for intact skin, every four hours. If there is any change in the skin
integrity, remove the Oxitone 1000M to alternate wrist site.
6.2. NUMERIC DISPLAY – SPO2
A SpO2 reading is associated with correct device placement, measuring small physiological changes
during the measurement, and acceptable levels of arterial perfusion at the measurement site.
Inaccurate measurements may be caused by:
• Elevated levels of carboxyhemoglobin (COHb)
• Elevated levels of methemoglobin (Met Hb)
• Intravascular dyes such as indocyanine green or methylene blue
• Elevated levels of Bilirubin
• Severe anemia
• Low arterial perfusion
• Motion artifact
6.3. NUMERIC DISPLAY – PULSE RATE
The pulse rate displayed on the Oxitone 1000M may differ slightly from the heart rate displayed on
ECG monitors due to differences in averaging times.
