JB7401-INS-LABRevA07 13
4 Measurement
Measuring Principle
SpO2 monitoring is a non-invasive technique used to measure the amount of oxygenated
hemoglobin and pulse rate by measuring the absorption of selected wavelengths of light.
The light generated in the probe passes through the tissue and is converted into electri-
cal signals by the photodetector in the probe. The PM-50 processes the electrical signal
and displays digital values for SpO2 and pulse rate on the LCD. The displayed SpO2 value
is of functional saturation.
The sensor measurement wavelengths are nominally 660nm for the red LED and 940nm
for infrared LED. The maximum optical power output for LED is 4mW.

Precautions
Note: Do not perform SpO2 monitoring and NIBP measurements on the same arm
simultaneously. Obstruction of blood flow during NIBP measurements may adversely
affect the reading of the SpO2 value.
Note: A measurement shall last longer than 15 seconds. Otherwise, new data of next
measurement can’t be added to the same patient.
Note: Do not use the PM-50 for prolonged monitoring.

WARNING: Inspect the sensor cable before monitoring. Do not use the SpO2 sensor if the
package or the sensor is damaged.

WARNING: Do not use the PM-50 to measure patients whose pulse rate is lower than
25bpm, which may cause incorrect results.

WARNING: Remove the SpO2 sensor from the patient immediately after measurement.

WARNING: Route cables carefully to reduce the possibility of patient entanglement or


strangulation. Cables of electrical surgical equipment should not be wound around that of
the SpO2 sensor.

WARNING: Do not put the sensor on extremities with arterial catheter or venous syringe.

WARNING: If no pulse is found or the reading is unreasonable, first check the patient’s
condition, and then check the device and the SpO2 sensor for proper function.

WARNING: Do not reuse disposable SpO2 sensors.

WARNING: Ensure that no obstruction (contamination, scar tissue, acrylic fingernails,


fingernail polish, etc.) exists at the site where the sensor is placed. Otherwise, the
measured result may be incorrect because the signal received by the sensor is affected.

14 JB7401-INS-LABRevA07
WARNING: When used on different patients, the PM-50 is prone to cross-contamination,
which should be prevented and controlled by the user. Disinfect the SpO2 sensor before
use with other patients.

Measuring Steps
Sensor selection for SpO2 measurement depends on the patient type. For an adult pa-
tient, choose a finger SpO2 sensor. Refer to the following procedures for adult and child
measurement.

Measurement, Adult or Child


Follow the steps below to use the adult or child finger SpO2 sensor:
1. Select the appropriate sensor (adult or child) *.

*Note: Use adult sensor for patient weighing > 30 kg (66 lb.).
Use child sensor for child weighing 10 - 50 kg (22 - 110 lb.)
2. Insert the sensor’s connector in the PM-50’s dual-purpose socket.
3. Turn on the PM-50 to enter standby mode.
4. Attach the sensor to an appropriate site on the patient.

Figure 4-1 Placing the adult SpO2 Sensor

5. The readings will be displayed on the PM-50’s LCD a moment later.

Note: Place the SpO2 sensor cable at the backside of the patient hand. Ensure that the
fingernail is just opposite to the light emitted from the sensor.
Note: To acquire accurate results, please read data until the sensor is steadily placed.
Note: Readings may not be accurate when either the sensor or the patient is moving.

JB7401-INS-LABRevA07 15
Measuring Limitations
If the accuracy of any measurement does not seem reasonable, first check the patient’s
vital signs using an alternate method, then check the device for proper function.

Inaccurate measurements may be caused by:


• Incorrect sensor application or use.
• Significant levels of dysfunctional hemoglobins (e.g., carboxyhemoglobin or methe-
moglobin).
• Intravascular dyes such as indocyanine green or methylene blue.
• Exposure to excessive illumination, such as surgical lamps (especially ones with a xe-
non light source), bilirubin lamps, fluorescent lights, infrared heating lamps, or direct
sunlight (exposure to excessive illumination can be corrected by covering the sensor
with a dark material).
• Excessive patient motion.
• Venous pulsations.
• Placement of a sensor on the same extremity with a blood pressure cuff, arterial cath-
eter, or intravascular line.
• Acrylic fingernails and/or dark fingernail polish.

Loss of pulse signal can occur in the following situations:


• The sensor is too tight.
• There is excessive illumination from light sources such as a surgical lamp, a bilirubin
lamp, or sunlight.
• A blood pressure cuff is inflated on the same extremity as the one with a SpO2 sensor
attached.
• The patient has hypotension, severe vasoconstriction, severe anemia, or hypother-
mia.
• There is arterial occlusion proximal to the sensor.
• The patient is in cardiac arrest or shock.

16 JB7401-INS-LABRevA07
5 Other Functions
Data Management
Data Storage
The PM-50 oximeter has internal memory to store data. The memory is divided into the
ID Data Zone and the Trend Data Zone.
The ID Data Zone is capable of storing 100 patients’ ID data (ID, as shown below) at
most. When the number exceeds 100, new data will automatically overwrite the oldest
data.

ID001 data ID002 data ID003 data …… ID100 data

One ID data includes:


• Number of the SpO2 and pulse rate values stored to this ID.
• Maximum SpO2 value of this ID.
• Minimum SpO2 value of this ID.
• Average SpO2 value of this ID.
• Maximum PR value of this ID.
• Minimum PR value of this ID.
• Average PR value of this ID.
The Trend Data Zone is capable of storing 200 trend data (TD, as shown below) at most.
When the number exceeds 200, new data will automatically overwrite the oldest data.

TD 001 TD 002 TD 003 …… TD 200

The first trend data will be stored 15 seconds after the pulse is found. Thereafter one
trend data will be stored every 2 minutes. One trend data includes:
• Average SpO2 value within the 2 minutes.
• Average PR value within the 2 minutes.

Note: The first trend data are the instant values of SpO2 and PR.
Note: A patient’s ID data are calculated from all measured trend data of that patient.
Note: Once the trend data of a patient is covered, all trend data of that patient will be
deleted; however, the ID data will not be deleted.

JB7401-INS-LABRevA07 17
Data Adding
The previously stored ID number appears on the LCD when a finger is inserted into the
SpO2 sensor. It will keep blinking for 8 seconds after the pulse is found.
• Press the Confirm ID button before the ID number stops blinking; the PM-50 will set
the ID number as current patient ID. The data measured thereafter will be superadd-
ed to the previous ID.
• If the user doesn’t press the Confirm ID button before the ID number stops blinking, a
new ID number, which is the blinking number plus 1, will be set as the current patient
ID.
The Confirm ID button is of no use when the current ID number is 000, which will auto-
matically change to 001 when the pulse is found.

Data Protection
The PM-50 has data protection function. When the power is turned off accidentally dur-
ing the process of storing a data, the PM-50 will evaluate completeness of the last stored
data when it is turned back on. If the data is complete, it will be validated; otherwise it
will be invalidated.

Data Deletion
Press the Delete ID button in standby mode; the message DELETE ALL? will be displayed
as shown in Figure 5 1.

Figure 5-1 Figure 5-2

• To delete all stored data: Press the Delete ID button again. As shown in Figure
5-2, the message ALL DELETED will be displayed for 2 seconds. The PM-50 will
then switch back to standby mode, the ID number will restore to 000, and the
Memory Full and ID Full symbols will disappear.
• To not delete all stored data: Do not press the Delete ID button; wait for 10 seconds.
The DELETE ALL? message will disappear automatically and the previous operation
will be cancelled. The PM-50 will then switch back to the previous mode.
