It prevents disintegration of corpus luteum of the ovary and thus maintains progesterone production. Progesterone enriches the uterus with a thick lining of blood vessels and capillaries so that it can sustain the growing fetus. menstruation will not occur due to the dynamic interaction between hCG and progesterone.Our pregnancy tests detect hCG at 25mIU, which is typically the level achieved at around a week after ovulation. If a faint positive test line is shown, repeat the test in a day or two using first morning urine and the line should be more obvious while more hCG accumulates. Be aware that some prescription fertility drugs which are designed to induce ovulation could contain hCG and thus result in a "false positive", so if you are taking fertility drugs, consult your doctor and be advised if they contain hCG. clomid, the most frequently used prescribed drug for fertility, does not contain the pregnancy hormone.

Comparatively a nonin onyx 9500 which is a very good, noteworthy model may be less effected. However, even in the instruction manual of the nonin 9500 mentions warming up your hands if blood circulation is reduced.Usually if your fingertips are cold when trying to get a reading, it will not be able to register a a good pulse signal/reading very well due to the reduced circulation or blood flow.

Step 6: fetal heart (FH) Monitoring fetal heart monitoring with 3.0 MHz waterproof probe.(1)Feel the correct position of the fetus by hand.(2)Apply some gel to the faceplate of the probe.(3)Place the faceplate of the probe at the correct position for detecting fetal heart.(4)Adjust the probe to obtain an optimum audio signal by angling the probe around.(5)Adjust the volume. The fetal heart rate is sent out via built-in speaker or attached earphone; the fetal heart rate is displayed on LCD.Step 7: Switch off the Doppler (1)When the monitoring is finished, wipe off the remaining gel off the probe with a clean soft cloth, then put probe back into the probe frame.(2)If there is no signal input or no operation done for 60 seconds, it will automatically shut down. Or you can press and hold the “POWER” button for 3 seconds to switch it down manually.Troubleshooting for sonotrax baby doppler Basic with 3mhz probe1. What should I do when Doppler gives out an alarm indicating the battery is low?You should replace the battery.(1) Shut down the Doppler.(2) Open the battery compartment.(3) Take out the battery connector from the compartment and change the old battery.(4) Put in a new battery into the connector and place the connector back to the battery compartment.(5) Slide the compartment cover back to close the compartment. 2. How do I clean my fetal doppler after using?Before cleaning, you should make sure to switch off the power and take out the batteries.Clean the exterior surface (display screen included) of the unit with a dry, soft cloth. You also can clean it with a soft cloth soaked with water or solution of soap and dry it with a clean cloth immediately.Clean the probe with a piece of wet soft cloth (soaked with water and soap only) to remove any remaining gel. 3. How do I disinfect my 3.0 MHz waterproof probe?Immerse the probe into solutions of Benzalkonium bromide, 0.5% chlorhexidine, 2% Glutaraldehyde or 75% ethanol to make it disinfected. After that, wipe the probe with a dry clean cloth to remove any remaining moisture.NOTE: Please pay attention to the depth into which the probe is immersed. Be careful to prevent sterilant from inpour of probe socket.Disclaimer:The information on this website aims to provide customers with relevant knowledge regarding our products.

Artificial nails, such as acrylic nails, serve the same purpose, and occasionally help people kick the bad habit of biting nails. Do these cosmetic products affect pulse oximeter readings? This question is often asked by people who are well manicured and are in need of a pulse oximeter. Generally speaking, nail polish and acrylic nails do not affect the readings of modern state-of-the-art pulse oximeters. This has been proved by many recent researches. Many published papers can be found on the website National Center for Biotechnology Information which is operated by the National Library of Medicine and the National Institutes of Health in the U.S.A. There are also numerous other resources, either on the Internet or found in published professional magazines, discussing effects of nail polish and acrylic nails to pulse oximeters. In the early days of pulse oximetry, researchers conducted some trial to verify the effects of nail polish on pulse oximetry. In the tests, a number of adult volunteers had various colors of name brand nail polish applied to their finger nails. Measured data from some commercialized pulse oximeters are analyzed. Cote et al. reported that the reading of spo2 is significantly lowered by 3% to 6% for those who use blue, green and black nail polish, and then suggested nail polish should be routinely removed before pulse oximetry monitoring. [1] White and Boyle tested several colored nail polishes and agreed with Cote et al.[2] Meanwhile, Rubin [3] also found that a blue color fingernail polish decreased spo2 from 97% to 87%.

However, with the advance of technology, most pulse oximeters can ignore other tissues or nail polish[4] and discern only the absorption caused by arterial blood by examining only the varying part of the absorption spectrum. [5] Brand et al. tested the effects of colors of enamel nail polish to pulse oximeter readings on 12 healthy nonsmoking normoxic volunteers. The results showed that blue, green and black enamel nail polish which had the most significant impact on pulse oximetry, reported by Cote et al. earlier, does not interfere with pulse oximetry. [4] The test results of Rodden et al. in 2007 also drew a conclusion that fingernail polish did not cause a clinically significant change in pulse oximeter readings in healthy people. This test involved in 27 healthy volunteers with SpO(2)> or =95%. [6] In reference [7], Hinkelbein et al tested the effect of nail polish on pulse oximeter readings in critically ill patients. Their conclusion is: "Nail polish does not alter pulse oximetry readings in mechanically ventilated patients to a clinically relevant extent. The mean error of measurement for all colours was within the manufacturers' specified range of 2%.", although black, purple and dark blue nail polish had greatest effect on the readings. With respect to acrylic nail, Hinkelbein et al showed that acrylic finger nails may affect the measurement of oxygen saturation results depending on the pulse oximeter used and may cause significant inaccuracy.[8] On the other hand, a research conducted by Peters [9] demonstrated that unpolished acrylic nails do not affect pulse oximetry measurements of oxygen saturation. Patients may not need to remove unpolished acrylic nails before surgery. To sum up, most commercialized pulse oximeters are not influenced by enamel nail polish while arguments still exist on the impacts of acrylic nails. However, it is necessary to mention that, while it is not possible to test all illness conditions in the researches, it usually depends on doctors' experience and knowledge to determine the situation of using a pulse oximeter.

Although blood-gas analyzers still can be used nowadays, the standard method of measuring oxygen saturation has been greatly changed and improved by pulse oximeter. Generally speaking, a pulse oximeter such as octivetech 300c is a medical device that is used for non-invasively measuring oxygen saturation in a patient's blood, as one of the indices of the patient's medical condition, either continuously or intermittently. The invention of the pulse oximeter made the oxygen saturation measurement much more efficient and convenient. How does a pulse oximeter work? A typical pulse oximeter shines a pair of small light-emitting diodes(LED) facing a photodiode through a translucent part of the patient's body, usually a fingertip or an earlobe. One LED is red, with wavelength of 660 nm, and the other is infrared, 905, 910, or 940 nm. Absorption at these wavelengths is significantly different between oxyhemoglobin and deoxyhemoglobin, therefore the oxyhemoglobin/deoxyhemoglobin ratio can be calculated from the ratio of the absorption of the red and infrared lights. [2] The monitored signal bounces in time with the heart beat because the arterial blood vessels expand and contract with each heartbeat. By assessing only the varying part of the absorption spectrum (basically, subtracting minimum absorption from peak absorption), a monitor ignores factors caused by other tissues, such as venous blood, skin, bone, muscle, fat, etc. and even (in most cases) fingernail polish and discerns only the absorption caused by arterial blood. Thus, detecting a pulse is necessary to the operation of a pulse oximeter or the oximeter will not function.

Thus, detecting a pulse is necessary to the operation of a pulse oximeter or the oximeter will not function. [2, 3, 4] Due to the simplicity and the speed of measurement (they clip onto a finger and display results within a few seconds), a pulse oximeter is very important in the settings where the patient's oxygenation is unstable, including emergency, intensive care and recovery settings. They are also very useful for patients with respiratory or cardiac problems and pilots operating in a non-pressurized aircraft above 10,000 feet (12,500 feet in the US), where supplemental oxygen is required. pulse oximeters are also used in sports industry to provide references for athletes' training and healthcare. Prior to the oximeter's invention, many complicated blood tests were needed to be performed. [2,3,4] What is normal level of oxygen saturation? Normally, oxygen saturation level should be between 97% and 99% in a healthy person. An oxygen level over 95% is clinically acceptable. Using the oxyhemoglobin dissociation curve, an oxygen saturation value of 90% is generally equivalent to a PaO2 (arterial partial pressure of oxygen) of 58 mm Hg.

In other words, it measures your ability to push air out of your lungs. It is for the monitoring, management and control of asthma or other respitory conditions. It takes measurements of peak expiratory flow rate (PEF or PEFR) and forced expiratory volume in one second.How does a peak flow meter work?peak flow meters can be categorized as mechanical and electronic. Most of peak flow meters are mechanical ones while electronic peak flow meters are now emerging into the market.The essential part of a peak flow meter is its transduction system which transfers the input that a patient produces (the air one pushes out of the lungs) into a signal which can be measured. There are five most commonly used transduction systems: variable-orifice, fixed-orifice or venturi, stator/rotor, pneumotachographs and ultrasonic [1]. Mechanical peak flow meters are designed under different principles while most electronic peak flow meters are designed as a stator/rotor system.How does an electronic (digital) peak flow meter work?A digital peak flow meter, such as the microlife Electronic Peak Flow Monitor Model PF-100, normally “incorporates a removable micro medical digital volume transducer which consists of an acrylic tube with a freely rotating vane supported on jeweled bearings positioned between a fixed swirl plate and a cross bar. As air is passed through the transducer, a vortex is created by the swirl plate, which causes the low inertia vane to rotate. The rotation of the vane is detected by the interruption of an infrared beam which produces an electrical pulse train at the output of a phototransistor. The number of rotations is proportional to the volume of air passed through the turbine, and the rate of rotation is proportional to the flow rate. With flow rate and correspondent time, FEV1 can be calcula Continue Reading→]]> peak flow meter 101What is a peak flow meterA peak flow meter is a device that measures the speed of air blowing out of your lungs after a deep inhalation. In other words, it measures your ability to push air out of your lungs. It is for the monitoring, management and control of asthma or other respitory conditions. It takes measurements of peak expiratory flow rate (PEF or PEFR) and forced expiratory volume in one second.How does a peak flow meter work?peak flow meters can be categorized as mechanical and electronic. Most of peak flow meters are mechanical ones while electronic peak flow meters are now emerging into the market.The essential part of a peak flow meter is its transduction system which transfers the input that a patient produces (the air one pushes out of the lungs) into a signal which can be measured. There are five most commonly used transduction systems: variable-orifice, fixed-orifice or venturi, stator/rotor, pneumotachographs and ultrasonic [1]. Mechanical peak flow meters are designed under different principles while most electronic peak flow meters are designed as a stator/rotor system.How does an electronic (digital) peak flow meter work?A digital peak flow meter, such as the microlife Electronic Peak Flow Monitor Model PF-100, normally “incorporates a removable micro medical digital volume transducer which consists of an acrylic tube with a freely rotating vane supported on jeweled bearings positioned between a fixed swirl plate and a cross bar. As air is passed through the transducer, a vortex is created by the swirl plate, which causes the low inertia vane to rotate. The rotation of the vane is detected by the interruption of an infrared beam which produces an electrical pulse train at the output of a phototransistor. The number of rotations is proportional to the volume of air passed through the turbine, and the rate of rotation is proportional to the flow rate. With flow rate and correspondent time, FEV1 can be calculated.”[2] Ferraris 345010 Piko-1 Electronic peak flow meter is similar as microlife PFM, but comes with a much smaller size. Piko-1 PFM is a truly pocket-size portable meter.How do I use peak flow meter? A peak flow meter is normally used as an important part of an individual's asthma management plan to demonstrate when to adjust daily medication intake. There is no standard reading for every individual, though a reference can be found based on the user's age, sex and weight. [3] Normally, an individual should do the following to complete a test:  Stand or Sit straight. Take a deep breath. Cover your mouthpiece tightly with your lips. Blow as hard and as fast as you can to get the reading. Be careful to avoid spitting into the mask. It is recommended to perform this three times in a row for an accurate measurement. What do the readings mean?Measurements with a peak flow meter can assist you and your doctor to monitor your asthma or respiratory condition. These measurements are important to record and analyze your breathing abilities over time so that your doctor can prescribe the correct medicine to keep your asthma in control. First, you need to find out what is your optimal reading based on your age, sex and weight. Although reference readings can be found, your optimal PEF is the essential index for your future asthma management. This reading is normally taken when your asthma is well controlled. Your management plan will be based on this number and you doctor will recommend a medication to take when your asthma worsens. If there is not much difference between your daily reading and the reference, your asthma is well controlled; you and your doctor may try to lower the level of your medicines. Otherwise, a peak flow meter may demonstrate that you may need to change the way you are using your medicines. How do I use the readings to manage my asthma? Your doctor may make a customized management plan for you and describe how to use the plan. Normally, a 'traffic light system' is adopted which uses green, yellow and red to indicate the severity of your asthma. When a reading falls in a zone with specific color, you need to take corresponding action. For example, when your reading falls into the red zone, you may have to follow your doctor's recommendations for your worsening asthma, such as taking steroid tablets or seeking urgent medical attention.If you use an old fashion peak flow meter, you need to record your daily readings in a chart. However, if you use a state-of-the-art digital peak flow meter, such as microlife peak flow meter, the device records your measurements into its embedded digital storage. Combined with the software package (sold separately), you and your doctor will be able to analyze and manage your readings easily on the computer. References: [1] THE EU peak flow meter, M.R.

OLED Finger Pulse Oximeter OctiveTech 300D Hi,I am a freediver and I use the 300D to monitor my training breath holds and also as a demonstration tool to show heart rate control and relaxation techniques. It has been very effective for that use. I put videos on my youtube channel http://www.youtube.com/wjohnson100 for people to see. I have only one minor suggestion for improvement of the unit and that regards the display selection. There are several options for the display format. The unit does not save your selection between uses. For me it doesn't matter because I prefer the first display format that comes up, but my suggestion is to give the option of retaining the selected display format from one use to the next. Some people might want that option. Again this is a very very minor comment. I am completely satisfied with the unit and have so far used it effectively down to 73% O2 and 32 BPM pulse and on breath holds exceding 7 minutes. I like the response time of the unit, the various display formats, the clarity, appearance, and color of the display itself, the range of measurement and accuracy of the unit, the reliability of the unit (never had a single problem with it), battery endurance, ease of use, and the convenience of its use.Regards,Walter Johnson ...

Sechenov developed a vacuum blood pump which was laterly used for research purpose. [8] 1864 Sir George Gabriel Stokes, 1st Baronet, an Irish physicist and mathematician, discovered the respiratory function of haemoglobin. [1,2] 1876 Karl von Vierordt, a German physician who developed techniques and tools for the monitoring of blood circulation, used a light source to distinguish fully saturated blood from that which is not. [1,3] 1898 English physiologist Halden brought forward the principle of chemical expulsion of oxygen from its complexes with haemoglobin. J.Barcoft used this principle for the examination of gas composition of blood. [8] 1900 R. Vierordt demonstrated that application of Hufner tourniquet caused a decrease in the intensity of red light passed through a human hand. 1922 American biochemist D. van Slyke combined the vacuum and chemical principles of gas expulsion from blood and used them in his manometric appratus.[8] 1932 German physiologist L. Nicolai optically recorded the in vivo oxygen consumption of a hand after circulatory occlusion in Gottingen, Germany. [5] 1935 The first device developed by Carl Matthes to noninvasively measure oxygen saturation in human blood by transilluminating it with coloured light,which employed an ear probe. [1,2,5] 1939 K.Matthews and F. Gross used photometry in examination of the ear auricle. Two-wavelength spectrophotometry was used to avoid the absorption of light by surrounding tissues. 1940's The development of pulese oximeter intensified due to the need of  pilots flying at high altitudes in lack pressurized cabins during WW II. This technique saved pilots in the war.[3,5] 1941 oximetry testing is first used to identify the process of obtaining saturation readings with an pulse oximeter. [1] 1942 E.Goldie used compression of earlobe to obtain "bloodless" reference. Continue Reading→]]> A Brief History of pulse oximetry 1850's Russian physiologist I.M.

Vierordt demonstrated that application of Hufner tourniquet caused a decrease in the intensity of red light passed through a human hand. 1922 American biochemist D. van Slyke combined the vacuum and chemical principles of gas expulsion from blood and used them in his manometric appratus.[8] 1932 German physiologist L. Nicolai optically recorded the in vivo oxygen consumption of a hand after circulatory occlusion in Gottingen, Germany. [5] 1935 The first device developed by Carl Matthes to noninvasively measure oxygen saturation in human blood by transilluminating it with coloured light,which employed an ear probe. [1,2,5] 1939 K.Matthews and F. Gross used photometry in examination of the ear auricle. Two-wavelength spectrophotometry was used to avoid the absorption of light by surrounding tissues. 1940's The development of pulese oximeter intensified due to the need of  pilots flying at high altitudes in lack pressurized cabins during WW II. This technique saved pilots in the war.[3,5] 1941 oximetry testing is first used to identify the process of obtaining saturation readings with an pulse oximeter. [1] 1942 E.Goldie used compression of earlobe to obtain "bloodless" reference. [7,8] 1942 G. Millikan and H. Sarre used local heating to arterialize capillary blood.[1,8] 1942 Light reflection oximetry was developed. 1970 oximetry becomes clinically feasible, after scientists at Hewlett-Packard developed commercial ear oximeter that preferentially measured arterial saturation by heating the tissue to 41 Celcius degree to increase local cutaneous blood flow. [1,4] 1974 Takuo Aoyagi found that arterial oxygen saturation could be measured by quantifying pulsations in the light signals coming through tissue, which made heating the tissue unnecessary. This device was the ancester of most modern pulse oximeters. [4] 1978 William New, MD, PhD invented the prototype for modern pulse oximetry.[6] 1980s oximeters became smaller in size, easier to apply, and less expensive. [1] 1995 Fingertip oximeters, which are small enough to put a finger in, first appeared on the market. [1] 2000 U.S.A. Medicare accepts physicians' billing for in-office oximeter readings.  [1]   References: [1] Portable Oxygen: A User's Perspective, Viewed May 2007 [2] George Gabriel Strokes, Viewed May 2007 [3] Karl von Vierordt, Viewed May 2007 [4] Pulse oximetry, C Crawford Mechem, MD, FACEP, Viewed May 2007 [5] History of blood gas analysis.

By calculating the difference of the absorption of the lights in these two wavelengths between oxyhaemoglobin and deoxyhaemoglobin, oxygen saturation of blood can be obtained through a certain algorithm by means of built-in integrated circuits (IC). Hence, it is important to keep the probe clean so that the lights are not blocked by dirt or dusts. Oil and/or dirt may accumulate over months no matter that the oximeter is used or not. It happens even for a new oximeter, although rarely. If your oximeter is not working accurately or shows error information, you may need to consider a cleaning. You need to use a soft dry clean cloth to clean the inside of the clip, especially near the LED (the light emitters, you can see a beam of red light from one, but no visible light comes from the other). Please note NEVER use water or other liquid to clean the probe because of the concern of corrosion or accumulation of mud. In this way, you can keep your oximeter long life and have accurate readings.

Gradual increase fertile CM can be sesen in the week before ovulation and CM will return to non-fertile quality in the days after ovulation. Fertile CM is produced as a result of the increase of estrogen hormones. Due to the fact that many people compare CM with egg white, CM sometimes is also called "egg white cervical mucus", acronymed as EWCM. Its medical term, "spinnbarkeit" is originated from German word, meaning strtchable and thin. Fertile CM and non-fertile CM are different in textures, colors and PH levels. The texture of non-fertile CM is thick and sticky, while fertile CM is clear, colorless, semi-transparent, fluid, mobile and thin. PH level of fertile CM is less acidic.

There are a few types of nebulizers available on the market. However, the two most common nebulizers are compressor nebulizers and ultrasonic nebulizers. Compressor or pneumatic with jet nebulizers are typically heavy tabletop devices attached to tub/jet nebulizer, and/or mask for inhalation. Ultrasonic nebulizers are usually much smaller handheld devices that can be used directly with the mouthpiece or with a connecting mask. Ultrasonic nebulizers are perfect for people on the go or who may need to use it discreetly and quietly in places such as work or school. Medical research has shown that ultrasonic nebulizers perform more effectively and faster in depositing medication into the lungs. Depending on which models are being compared, ultrasonic nebulizers can deposit around double the amount of medication into the lungs as opposed to certain compressor nebulizers. In addition, do not be alarmed if treatment with an ultrasonic nebulizer ends 5-10 minutes earlier than your normal compressor nebulizer treatments. Ultrasonic nebulizers provide effective and faster treatment.Following simple steps while using a nebulizer can improve the effectiveness of the treatment and increase the longevity of the nebulizer. By always reading the instruction manual before use and before cleaning it, the beneficiary has taken the first necessary step into effectively taking the treatment and properly using the nebulizer. Depending on the nebulizer, treatments can be most effective while taking slow, calm inhales or while breathing normally.

Lying down and sleeping during treatment might be easier for some children and is still effective as long as movements are not affecting the nebulizer. In cases where children have to sleep to take their treatment, heavier compressors might be more suitable since most of those models have a sturdier base and will not be affected by movement during sleep. The most important factor to having a long lasting, and clean nebulizer is cleaning it after each and every use, and even sometimes before use. Without regular cleaning, contaminated nebulizers can cause infection or re-infection to the beneficiary’s lungs. Typically a mild dish washing soap and warm or hot water may affectively clean the removable parts of a nebulizer and air drying is best to prevent any contamination after washing it. However, each manufacturer has their protocols for cleaning the nebulizer so always read the instruction manual before cleaning it and before use.
