Intended Use
The Advantage 2200 is a handheld non-invasive device intended for spot-checking of oxygen saturation of arterial hemoglobin (SpO2) and Pulse Rate of adult, adolescent, and child patients in hospitals, hospital-type facilities, and homecare.
Contraindications:
- The patient suffers from significant levels of dysfunctional hemoglobins (such as carboxyhemoglobin or methemoglobin).
- Intravascular dyes such as indocyanine green or methylene blue have been injected into the patient.
- Used in the presence of high ambient light (e.g., direct sunlight).
Shield the sensor area with a surgical towel if necessary. - There is excessive patient movement.
- The patient experiences venous pulsations.
- The patient has hypotension, severe vasoconstriction, severe anemia, or hypothermia.
- The patient is in cardiac arrest or is in shock.
- Fingernail polish or false fingernails as may cause inaccurate SpO2 readings.

General Warnings
WARNING: Keep the Advantage 2200 away from young children. Small items such as the battery cover, battery, and lanyard are choking hazards.
WARNING: Certain activities may pose a risk of injury, including strangulation if the lanyard should become wrapped around your neck. Use the lanyard with caution.
WARNING: Explosion hazard: Do not use the pulse oximeter in an explosive, oxygen-enriched, environment.
CAUTION: Only a healthcare professional is qualified to interpret SpO2 measurements. This device is NOT intended to replace regular medical checkups.
CAUTION: It is recommended that your physician review your procedure for using this device.
CAUTION: SpO2 readings obtained by this device should be verified before prescribing or making adjustments to any medications. Under no circumstances should YOU alter the dosages of any drugs prescribed by your doctor.
CAUTION: Excessive movement of the pulse oximeter during measurement may cause inaccurate readings. Limit finger movement as much as possible when using the device.
CAUTION: The pulse oximeter is not intended for continuous monitoring.
CAUTION: Do not place the pulse oximeter on the same hand/arm when using a blood pressure monitor.
CAUTION: This pulse oximeter has no alarms. It will not sound if the amount of oxygen in your blood is low or if the pulse rate is too high or too low.
CAUTION: These pulse oximeter readings may be adversely affected in the presence of high ambient light. Shield the device if necessary.
CAUTION: Do not immerse the pulse oximeter in liquid or clean with agents that are not listed in this User’s Guide.
CAUTION: Any of the following conditions may reduce the performance of the pulse oximeter:
- Very bright or flickering light
- Weak pulse
- Low hemoglobin
- Arterial catheters
- Nail polish and/or artificial nails
- Any tests recently performed on you that required the injection of intravascular dyes
CAUTION: The pulse oximeter may not function if you have poor circulation. Rub your fingers to increase circulation or try an alternate finger if you are having trouble obtaining readings.
CAUTION: Batteries can leak or explode if used or disposed of improperly. Remove the battery if the pulse oximeter will not be used for more than 30 days.
CAUTION: Do not use the pulse oximeter outside the specified operating and storage temperature ranges.
CAUTION: Do not use the pulse oximeter for more than 30 minutes without relocating the device to another finger.
CAUTION: Do not tamper with the pulse oximeter.
CAUTION: Radios, cell phones, or other similar devices may affect the pulse oximeter and should be kept at least 7 feet away from the device.
CAUTION: Use in emergency vehicles with communication systems may affect the accuracy of the pulse oximeter.
CAUTION: Field strengths from fixed transmitters (radio, phone base stations, AM/FM radio or TV broadcast towers) may affect the accuracy of the pulse oximeter.
CAUTION: Follow local ordinances and recycling instructions regarding disposal or recycling of the Advantage 2200 including batteries.
CAUTION: The Advantage 2200 is a precision electronic instrument and must be serviced by ADC’s service department.
Battery Installation (Figure 1)
- Slide off battery cover in direction of the arrow.
- Put the two AAA batteries into the battery compartment, observing correct polarity.
- Slide the battery cover on by reversing Step #1.
Note:
- Battery polarity should be observed to prevent damage to the device.
- When the battery is low, the battery indicator symbol on the display will flash. Replace the low battery as soon as possible. Remove the battery if the device will not be used for more than 30 days.
Strap Installation (Figure 2)
- Thread the thinner end of the strap through the loop.
- Thread the thicker end of the strap through the threaded end and pull tightly.
Operation Instructions (Figure 3)
- Hold the Advantage 2200 with the display screen facing toward you as shown in Figure 3. Gently squeeze the hinged end and insert one finger into the device fully. Release the hinged end to allow the device to clamp down onto the finger. Be sure the finger is fully inserted. (When your finger is inserted into the device, your nail surface must be facing the same side as the display.)
- Press the power button on the front panel once.
- Remain still while taking a measurement and avoid applying pressure to the clamped device while in use.
- The device will display a reading once it has had a moment to begin measurement.
Note:
- The rubber inside the oximeter that touches the finger may be cleaned with alcohol.
- For best results, keep the Advantage 2200 at heart or chest level. The index (pointer) finger is recommended.
- While on the finger, do not press the Advantage 2200 against any surface and do not squeeze it or hold the device.
- The internal spring provides the correct pressure. Additional pressure may affect readings.
Reading Your Results
After measurement begins, you will see three pieces of information displayed on your pulse oximeter:
- A pulse bar graph display corresponding with your pulse beat will be shown. The height of the bar graph shows your pulse strength.
- Your pulse rate will be displayed as BPM or beats per minute.
- The amount of oxygen in your blood will be displayed as SpO2%.
Changing Directions of the Display
When you first power on the unit, the display will orient it with the numbers facing the person wearing the device. The display can be re-orientated to face the other direction if desired.
- To change the direction of the display, press the power button while the unit is displaying a reading.
Note: By default, the unit will always display the readout facing the wearer.
Maintenance and Storage
- When the low-power indicator comes on, you must replace the batteries.
- The surface of the pulse oximeter that comes into contact with your finger should be kept clean.
- When storing the pulse oximeter for more than 30 days, remove the batteries.
- When storing the pulse oximeter, ensure that the temperature is between -13°F to 158°F (-25°C to 70°C) with relative humidity less than or equal to 93%.
- Store the pulse oximeter in a dry environment. Exposure to moisture may decrease the lifespan of your device.
- Batteries should be disposed of in accordance with local and state laws.
Cleaning the Pulse Oximeter
Clean the rubber touching the finger inside of the device with a soft dampened cloth with 70% isopropyl alcohol, and clean the test finger using alcohol before and after each test. Do not pour or spray any liquids onto the pulse oximeter, and do not allow any liquids to enter any openings in the device. Allow the device to dry thoroughly before reusing.
