Chapter 2: Intended Use and Monitor Features
The veterinary pulse oximeter is intended to be used for continuous monitoring of a patient’s
functional oxygen saturation (%SpO 2 ), pulse rate ( p ), pulse signal strength, and Pulse
amplitude Index (PI) readings. It is equipped with audible and visual alarms. It may be used by
veterinarians and trained veterinary professionals. It can be used on patients with low perfusion
or during patient motion. The V1030 may be used in the hospital or clinical environment.
WARNING! This device is intended for use by persons trained in veterinary professional
health care. The operator must be thoroughly familiar with the information in
this manual before using the device.
WARNING! The monitor was not designed or tested to be an apnea monitor.
Monitor Features
• Provides fast, reliable SpO 2 , pulse rate, and pulse signal strength measurements.
• Maintains accurate readings during periods of patient motion and when monitoring
patients with low perfusion.
• Ideally suited for use in veterinary facilities or clinical environments.
• Portable and lightweight. Weighs only 330 grams (12 ounces) with 4 “AA” batteries.
• Power options include four (4) standard “AA” (type IEC LR6) alkaline batteries, a
rechargeable Lithium Ion battery pack, or an AC power adapter.
• Rechargeable battery life is approximately thirty (30) hours (new battery).
• An easy to read battery gauge indicates the charge level and provides a low battery alert.
• Large, bright, easy-to-read LED display indicates SpO 2 and pulse rate measurements.
• 2 Nine-segment LED bar graphs indicate pulse signal strength and Pulse amplitude Index.
• An audible “beep” sounds with each pulse beat. The volume can be adjusted or turned off.
The pitch of the pulse “beep” corresponds to SpO 2 value.
• The alarm indicator on top of the oximeter lights up to communicate patient alarm
information.
• SpO 2 and pulse rate averaging settings are user-selectable.
• User-adjustable trend storage rate, ranging from 2 to 30 seconds per sample, provides
flexibility for many applications.
• Optional docking station transforms the device into a table top pulse oximeter, and can
also be used to recharge the monitor’s lithium Ion battery pack, and a spare battery pack.
• Optional printer allows for printing of trend information or real time data logs.
Theory of Operation
The pulse oximeter determines %SpO 2 and pulse rate by passing two wavelengths of low
intensity light, one red and one infrared, through body tissue to a photodetector. Information
about wavelength range can be especially useful to clinicians. Wavelength information for this
device can be found in the SpO 2 Specifications section of this manual.
