1. Product Overview
Thank you for purchasing LOX100 Fingertip Pulse Oximeter.The main use
of this product is for measuring patients oxygen saturation (SpO2), Pulse
Rate (PR) and Perfusion Index (PI). Perfusion Index (PI) is related to the
strength of the patients pulse at the site of measurement. PI is measured
as a percentage(%) and the optimal value is 20% indicating a very strong
pulse. The product includes both visual and audible alerts for high/low
SpO2 and Pulse Rate. The applied part of the LOX100 is constructed from
silica gel. Please carefully read the User Manual before use.

2. Intended Use
The LOX100 Fingertip Oximeter is intended for use in homes or hospitals
for non-invasive measurement of oxygen saturation, pulse rate and
perfusion index. The device can be used for both children and adults.This
device is intended only for spot checking.

3. Principles of measurement
The measuring principles of pulse oximeter is based on Lambert-Beer
law, The spectrum absorption characteristics is different of Reductive
hemoglobin(RHb) and Oxyhemoglobin (Hbo2) in red light and near-
infrared light zones. The pulse oximeter calculate Spo2, PR and PI
from the light intensity absorption difference by measuring the ratio of
absorbed red and infrared light with each pulse.
