ENGLISH OPERATOR’S MANUAL Pulse Oximeter ri-fox N
General Description Oxygen Saturation is a very important parameter for the Respiratory Circulation System. Many respiratory diseases can result in oxygen saturation being lowered in human blood. Additionally, the following factors can reduce oxygen saturation: organ dysfunction caused by anesthesia, intensive postoperative trauma, injuries caused by some medical examinations. That situation might result in light-headedness, asthenia, and vomiting.
Product Operation Scope ri-fox N is a portable non-invasive, spot-check, oxygen saturation of arterial hemoglobin (SpO2) and pulse rate of adult and pediatric patients at home and hospital (including clinical use in internal medicine/surgery, anesthesia, etc). The device is not intended for continuous monitoring. The ri-fox N requires no routine calibration or maintenance other than replacement of batteries. Technical Specifications 1. Display: LED 2.
4. Power Requirements: Two AAA alkaline Batteries Power consumption: Less than 30mA Low power indication: Battery Life: Two AAA 1.5V, 800mAh alkaline batteries could be continuously operated as long as 30 hours. 5. Dimension: Length: 66mm Width: 39mm Height: 32mm Weight: 34g (without batteries) 6. Environment Requirements: Operation Temperature: 5°C~40°C Storage Temperature: -20~55°C Ambient Humidity: ≤80%, no condensation in operation; ≤93%, no condensation in storage 7.
Precautions for use 1. Do not use the pulse oximeter in an MRI or CT environment 2. Do not use the pulse oximeter in situations where alarms are required. The device has no alarms. 3. Explosion hazard: Do not use the pulse oximeter in an explosive atmosphere. 4. The pulse oximeter is intended only as an adjunct in patient assessment. It must be used in conjunction with other methods of assessing clinical signs and symptoms. 5.
9. Inaccurate measurements may be caused by autoclaving, ethylene oxide sterilizing, or immersing the sensors in liquid may cause inaccurate readings. 10. SpO2 measurements may be adversely affected in the presence of high ambient light. Shield the sensor area if necessary. 11. Excessive patient movement may cause inaccurate readings. 12. Placement of a sensor on an extremity with a blood pressure cuff, arterial catheter, or intravascular line may cause inaccurate readings. 13.

Brief Description of Front Panel Pulse low indicator Oxygen Saturation %SpO2 Pulse Bar graph Pulse Rate PR BPM The Pulse Bar graph displays the strength of the pulse rate signal. The height of the bar graph shows the patient’s pulse strength. Battery Installation Press the button down! 1. Put the two AAA batteries into battery cassette in correct polarities. 2.
Maintenance and Storage 1. Replace batteries in time when low voltage lamp is lighted. 2. Clean surface of the ri-fox N before it is used in diagnosis for patients. 3. Remove batteries inside the battery cassette if the oximeter will not be used for a long time. 4. It is best to preserve the product in a place where ambient temperature is –20~55°C and humidity is <93%, no condensation. 5. It is recommended that the product should be kept in a dry environment anytime.
