Pulsoximetry; Predictive Thermometer - Riester ri-vital Mode D'emploi

7. pulsoximetry

7.1 sensor connector
the sensor connector (n) is located on the left side of the device. the sensor is
recessed to prevent damaging the sensor cable, so that the device housing protects the
connector. It is recommended that you leave the sensor on the device and use the coiler
(B) and the sensor holder (c) for storage. In order to correctly apply the spO2 sensor to
the patient, please read the corresponding operating manual for this accessory part.
7.2 spo2 measurement
after the sensor has been affixed to the patient, the segments of the bar indicator (a)
will start to pulsate. after a short time the readings (a) (B) will appear on the display.
the readings are updated once per second.
a symbol with crossed-through sensor appears in the status display (a) if the sensor is
not connected. the sensor symbol with arrow appears if the patient is not connected.
perfusion index:
Measurement of the perfusion index (PI), this PI allows evaluation of the peripheral
perfusion of the tissue measured, from which conclusions can be drawn about the
quality of the measurement and the blood circulation.
< 0.25 %
level 1
level 2 0.25 % - 0.5 %
level 3 0.5 % - 1.0 %
level 4 1.0 % - 2.0 %
level 5 2.0 % - 4.0 %
level 6 4.0 % - 8.0 %
level 7 > 8.0 %
7.3 pulse signal
with the pulse signal switched on, each detected pulse beat is indicated with a brief
acoustic signal. the signal's pitch changes with the value of the oxygen saturation. this
pulse signal can also be deactivated in the settings menu.
Please note: no alarm function

7.4 pulse display
If the patient is connected to the pulsoximeter, the pulse reading that is obtained in this
manner is always indicated.
If no spO2 measurement takes place, then after a successful blood pressure
measurement the device shows the oscillometrically determined pulse. Optionally,
the ri-vital
® can be ordered with Pearl pulsoxymeter technology (a process for pulse
amplification and artefact suppression).
8. Body temperature measurement With the

predictiVe thermometer

8.1 probe covers – application and removal
a)
Open the probe cover box by lifting and pulling the tab on the upper corner.
B) Insert the box with the probe covers from above into the slot. (In order to avoid
infections, never interchange or use opened boxes that have been used with blue or
red thermometer probes).
c) remove the thermometer probe from the slide compartment. this automatically
switches on the thermometer.
d)
as a reminder to apply or remove the probe cover, a probe symbol with flashing
probe cover is displayed before applying or removing the probe cover.
.
e) Insert the probe tip of the thermometer probe into a probe cover in the box. Press
the grip of the thermometer probe until the probe cover noticeably clicks into place.
f) take the relevant temperature reading (oral, axillar or rectal temperature).Please
use the respective thermometer probe for the purpose.
the measurement is concluded once the final temperature value is displayed
g) Press the upper button on the thermometer probe to eject the used probe cover into
a waste container.
h) remove, dispose of and replace the empty box.
