The PulseOx 7500^TM is the world’s first monitor for extended monitoring of blood oxygen saturation and heart rate to use reflectance pulse oximetry (RPO).

Package Includes

Wrist pulse Oximeter
Carrying Case

The PulseOx 7500 incorporates SPO Medical’s unique reflectance technology in ambulatory and sleep-related applications, the PulseOx 7500^TM has been designed for maximum user comfort and ease-of-use. It uniquely places the sensor at the based of the finger so it operates as a ring sensor. Traditionally, devices for longer term monitoring are located at the finger tip using clip devices, and they can be awkward and uncomfortable for the user.

Main Features:

*	Long-lasting battery - provides extended, portable monitoring of blood oxygen saturation and heart rate for over 300 hours of battery life, much longer than conventional devices.
*	Highly resistant to many forms of motion, reducing its susceptibility to the motion artifacts which typical pulse oximetry devices produce
*	Nail polish tolerant - no matter how dark the color.
*	Compatible with commercially available software used in sleep apnea applications.
*	One year manufacturers warranty and 24/7 on-line user support.

What is Pulse Oximetry?
Pulse oximetry is a very important non-invasive process used to measure blood oxygen saturation levels (SpO2) by monitoring the percentage of hemoglobin (Hb), which is saturated with oxygen as well as measuring heart rate. This procedure has been used regularly in hospitals during the past twenty years and is established as an essential measurement in medical practice, to ensure maintenance of adequate oxygen and prevention of respiratory difficulty. In many disease states, oxygen saturation is one of the most important vital signs to monitor.

Transmission Pulse Oximetry
There are two methods to measure pulse oximetry: by transmission through a body part or by reflection. In general, the transmission method can only be used on limited areas of the body, such as fingers, earlobes, etc. Furthermore, in some instances when the transmission method is used, physiological conditions such as stress and temperature can affect the accuracy of pulse oximetry readings.

The Power Challenge
Because pulse oximetry measurements taken on-site in an emergency, at local medical practices, and/or in home care, can save lives and curtail intervention costs, mobile units have been developed. However, they have not been incorporated into the mainstream because their power requirements often make them impractical. In addition, the technical complexities involved when a patient cannot be absolutely stationary have produced unreliable results, since pulse oximetry measurement traditionally have been less accurate during movement.

SPO Medical's Reflectance Technique and Low-Power Advantage
Responding to the need for life-saving information in the field where people cannot be absolutely stationary, SPO Medical developed patented sensors that work accurately during physical activity. This technique uses a reflectance method whereby a very small sensor placed on the body at various locations has the ability to measure oxygen saturation and heart pulse rate. Typical motion artifacts have been compensated for within the system algorithms.

SPO Medical has patented technology that uses the reflectance technique and incorporates it into portable devices that are as reliable as a thermometer or blood pressure cuff. Moreover, these devices operate at a power requirement approximately 1/100th of that compared to commercially available systems. This puts pulse oximetry into the hands medical practitioners and emergency personnel on-site for the safety and benefit of all, and offers the opportunity to create new commercial and consumer applications.

The Wireless Functionality
SPO Medical has developed its system to operate in an RF wireless mode. Typical operating frequencies include 866 Mhz. for Europe and 915 Mhz. for North American markets in accordance with FCC requirements. Standard distance for wireless transmission is 15 m (50 feet) with an expanded range through modifying system sensitivity. IR technology is also available for short-range wireless data transmission.

Ongoing Development
Building on its core competencies, SPO Medical continues to develop new, innovative product applications. For instance, SPO Medical is currently investigating the non-invasive monitoring of:

Blood pressure using reflectance oximetry

Billirubin levels

Cholesterol levels

Monitoring glucose levels in blood

Hemoglobin count in blood

OEM Technical Specifications
SPO Medical will customize products based on customers' technical requirements where possible. Oximetry measurements using a reflectance mode can be configured with or without wireless functionality. The base OEM specifications are for a 1" (25 mm) diameter disc (or square form factor), which incorporates all required components for calculating and measuring saturation and heart pulse rate. The data is sent to the host system by a communication link. Typical average power requirement for operating the total system in this reflectance mode is 3mW. Options include reusable or disposable sensors, a variety of printed circuit designs in accordance to customer specific needs, and our assistance in the product integration stage as required.
