Instructions for Use

Detailed instructions

This chapter contains all the information required by users of the device for safe, correct and accurate measurement. It includes a detailed and complete description of all the functions of the device, safety instructions and all the information required to understand the operation of the device.

5.1 FIRST TIME USE

5.1.1 BASIC FUNCTIONALITIES

MESI SPO2 MODULE package contains wireless MESI PULSE OXIMETER UNIT and FingerClip Sensor (CS10299). Before first use, the device needs to be paired with MESI mTABLET UNIT. Follow the instructions carefully.

5.1.2 ACTIVATION

When setting up the MESI SPO2 MODULE for the first time, it needs to be activated out of the shipping mode. The device will not respond until it is placed on the MESI LARGE CHARGING PLATE and a multifunctional button illuminates. It is recommended that, 5.1.2 ACTIVATION before initial use, the MESI SPO2 MODULE is fully charged.

5.1.3 TURNING ON THE MESI PULSE OXIMETER UNIT

MESI PULSE OXIMETER UNIT comes with an internal battery. Press the button on top of the MESI PULSE OXIMETER UNIT. If the green light f lashes, the module is ready for the next step. For more information on battery charging see the chapter 6.1 CHARGING THE BATTERY.

NOTE: The battery inside a completely new device is most likely not completely empty and can provide enough power to start the device up. Nonetheless, connect the device to the mains electricity using the AC/DC power supply before first use.

NOTE: When the battery needs to be replaced, the MESI mTABLET UNIT will display a battery warning. For more information see chapter 8 ERRORS.

5.1.4 AC/DC POWER SUPPLY AND BATTERY

The MESI PULSE OXIMETER UNIT uses two power sources. The mains electricity, using an AC/DC power supply for charging and battery power while performing measurement.

Connect the AC/DC power supply to a wall socket with a mains voltage of 100-240 V at 50-60 Hz and to the connector at the back of the device. The device is now recharging its battery. During this process the light on the module will be flashing orange. Only when the device is completely charged it will start flashing green. For more information see chapter 5.5 MULTIFUNCTIONAL LED BUTTON.

5.1.5 PAIRING

Before any measurements can be performed the MESI PULSE OXIMETER UNIT needs to be paired to the MESI mTABLET UNIT. Take the MESI mTABLET UNIT and open Doctor’s profile (for more information about user accounts see the USER PROFILE Chapter of the MESI mTABLET Instruction Manual).

Step 1

Go to User profile > Settings > Modules > +Add module

NOTE: While operating only with one MESI mTABLET UNIT, then performing this operation is required only once. In case of more MESI mTABLET UNITS this process will have to be repeated on each MESI mTABLET UNIT.

5.1.6 CONNECTING PATIENT CABLE

Before first use, during transportation and when storing for longer periods, the sensor should be disconnected from the MESI PULSE OXIMETER UNIT. To connect the FingerClip Sensor (CS10299), follow the next steps:

Step 1

Hold resting MESI PULSE OXIMETER UNIT and the FingerClip Sensor cable (CS10299) in your hands firmly.

Step 2

Connect the FingerClip Sensor (CS10299) to the MESI PULSE OXIMETER UNIT as shown below.

5.3 PERFORMING SpO₂ MEASUREMENT

Standard accessories include FingerClip Sensor (CS10299).

  1. Before first measurement it is advised for the patient to wash hands. This will reduce transmission of microorganisms and body secretions.

  2. Remove anything on the site of application that absorbs light (such as dried blood or nail polish).

  3. Warm the area where the FingerClip Sensor (CS10299) will be attached.

  4. Clear out any sources of environmental interference (high levels of light).

  5. Attach the FingerClip Sensor (CS10299) to the finger (usually middle or index finger) and try to minimize movement.

NOTE: For other sensors observe Instructions for use of the sensor available in the MESI package or contact your local distributor for more information.

5.3.1 STEP-BYSTEP SpO₂ MEASUREMENT

Step 1

On the MESI mTABLET UNIT select existing patient or add a new one. For additional information see chapter 5.2 PATIENT SELECTION.

MESI mTABLET SpO2 -  STEP-BYSTEP SpO₂ MEASUREMENT - Step 1

Step 2

After selecting the patient, select the SpO₂ application in application menu.

NOTE: If MESI PULSE OXIMETER UNIT has low battery or connectivity issues notifications will be displayed on instructions screen. In case of errors advise the chapters 8 ERRORS and 9 TROUBLESHOOTING.

Step 4

The measuring screen displays oxygen saturation level (%) and pulse rate (SpO₂).

Step 5

After about 30 s or when the SpO₂ values stabilize press DONE button on the bottom of the screen to record the current SpO₂ and heart rate values.

NOTE: The measurement of oxygen saturation can be affected by the following factors: ambient light, nail polish, skin pigment, damaged sensor, improper placement of sensor and muscle tremor.

NOTE: Poor peripheral perfusion or cold fingers can cause low perfusion, or blood f low, which can lead the oximeter to make an inaccurate reading. The application site can be warmed before measurement or the sensor should be repositioned.

5.3.2 ADITIONAL SETTINGS

During the SpO₂ measurement there are Additional settings and alerts, which can be changed:

  • The area of minimum and maximum saturation alert. After change this can be saved as a default values.

  • Alert volume – set the volume alert by sliding or tapping left/ right on the slide bar.

  • Pulse bar volume – set the pulse bar volume by sliding or tapping left/right on the slide bar.

  • Device volume – set the device volume by sliding or tapping left/right on the slide bar.

5.4 REVIEWING SpO₂ MEASUREMENT

5.4.1 MESI MTABLET RESULTS SCREEN

When the measurement process is completed, result will be displayed on the screen. It consists of five different areas: navigation area, numeric result of SpO₂ and HR, patient’s measurements history, comments on the result, and another navigation area.

5.4.1.1 Navigation area

The buttons in the navigation area can toggle between previous and next measurement of the patient. If the user is not satisfied with the measurement for any reason, it can be discarded or repeated. In case of uncertainty, the user can consult with other doctors by simply sending the measurement through the email.

5.4.1.2 Measurement information

The SpO₂ and pulse rate measurement can be viewed immediately on the MESI mTABLET UNIT for further analysis. With standard software the MESI PULSE OXIMETER UNIT is used for spot-checking of patients during no-motion conditions.

5.4.1.3 Patient measurement history

History holds an overview of measurements done by the same doctor on the same patient. It shows the trend of the patient’s results.

5.4.1.4 Comments area

A comment can be added to every measurement. It will be stored and always available together with recoding report.

5.5 MULTIFUNCTIONAL LED BUTTON

Even though most of the MESI PULSE OXIMETER UNIT control is done through the MESI mTABLET UNIT interface there is still a multifunctional LED button on top of the device. Next to basic colour light notification functionalities of this button there is also a possibility to perform some additional operations. These operations are based on the current status of the MESI PULSE OXIMETER UNIT.
