CHAPTER 1 General Information
Oxygen saturation is a percentage of oxyhemoglobin (HbO2) capacity, compounded with oxygen, by all combinative hemoglobin (Hb) capacity in blood. In other words, it is the consistency of oxyhemoglobin in blood. It is a very important parameter for the Respiratory Circulation System. Many respiratory diseases can result in low oxygen saturation in human blood. Additionally, the following factors can reduce oxygen saturation: Automatic regulation of organ dysfunction caused by Anesthesia, Intensive Postoperative Trauma, and injuries caused by some medical examinations. That situation might result in light-headedness, asthenia, and vomiting. Therefore, it is very important to know the oxygen saturation of a patient so that doctors can find problems in a timely manner.
The pulse oximeter integrated with Bluetooth® wireless technology is designed to monitor vital signs, such as SpO2 and pulse rate anytime, anywhere.
Measuring Principle
An experience formula of data process is established taking use of Lambert-Beer Law according to Spectrum Absorption Characteristics of Reductive hemoglobin(HbR) and Oxyhemoglobin (HbO2) in red light and near-infrared light zones. The photoelectric oxyhemoglobin inspection technology is adopted in accordance with capacity pulse scanning and recording technology so that two beams of different wavelengths of lights (660nm red light and 940nm near-infrared light) can be focused onto a human nail tip through perspective clamp finger-type sensor. Then measured signal can be obtained by a photosensitive element, information acquired through which will be shown on the display through the process in electronic circuits and microprocessors.

Field strengths from fixed transmitters, such as base stations for radio (cellular/cordless) telephones and land mobile radios, amateur radio, AM, and FM radio broadcasts and TV broadcasts cannot be predicted theoretically with accuracy. To assess the electromagnetic environment due to fixed RF transmitters, an electromagnetic site survey should be considered. If the measured field strength in the location in which the MD300C318T PULSE OXIMETER is used exceeds the applicable RF compliance level above, the MD300C318T PULSE OXIMETER should be observed to verify normal operation.If abnormal performance is observed, additional measures may be necessary, such as reorienting or relocating the MD300C318T PULSE OXIMETER.
