WARNING – To reduce the risk of serious personal injury:
• Do not use the pulse oximeter:
– if you are allergic to rubber products.
– if the device or the finger you are using is damp.
– on small children or babies.
– during an MRI or CT scan.
– while taking a blood pressure measurement on the same arm.
– on fingers that have nail polish, are dirty, have other coatings on them, or have false nails applied.
– on large fingers that do not fit into the device easily (fingertip width greater than 0.8 in / 20 mm or thickness greater than 0.6 in / 15 mm).
– on fingers with anatomical changes, edemas, scars or burns.
– on fingers that are too small, as with small children for example (width approx. < 0.4 in / 10 mm, thickness approx. < 0.2 in / 5 mm).
– on patients who are not steady at the site of application (e.g. trembling).
– near flammable or explosive gas mixtures.
• Extended use may cause pain for people with circulatory disorders. Do not use the pulse oximeter for longer than two hours on one finger.
• The pulse oximeter displays an instantaneous measurement but should not be used for continuous monitoring.
• Measurements are for your information only – they are no substitute for a medical examination. Discuss the measurements with your doctor and never base any
medical decisions on them (e.g. medicines and their administration).
• The pulse oximeter is not for continuous monitoring and does not have alarm functions. Never use this unit in situations where alarms are required.
• Check the pulse oximeter regularly before use to ensure that there is no visible damage to the device and the batteries are still sufficiently charged. In case of
doubt, do not use the device and contact customer services or an authorized retailer.
• Do not use any additional parts that are not recommended by the manufacturer.
• Under no circumstances should you open or repair the device yourself. Failure to comply will result in voiding of the warranty. For repairs, please contact customer
services or an authorized retailer.
• Do not look directly inside the housing during the measurement. The red light and the invisible infra-red light in the pulse oximeter are harmful to your eyes.
• This device is not intended for use by people (including children) with restricted physical, sensory or mental skills or a lack of experience and/or a lack of knowledge,
unless they are supervised by a person who has responsibility for their safety or they receive instructions from this person on how to use the device. Children
should be supervised around the device to ensure they do not play with it.
• Neither of the displays for the pulse wave and pulse bar allows the strength of the pulse or circulation to be evaluated at the measurement site. Rather, they are
exclusively used to display the current visual signal variation at the measurement site and do not enable diagnostics for the pulse.
CAUTION – To reduce the risk of personal injury or product/property damage:
• Non-observance of the following instructions can lead to incorrect or failed measurements.
• Ensure that the finger nail on the finger to be measured is short enough that the fingertip covers the sensor element in the housing.
• Keep your hand, finger and body steady during the measurement.
• In cases of carbon monoxide poisoning, the pulse oximeter will display a measurement value that is too high.
• To avoid incorrect results, there should not be any strong light sources (e.g. fluorescent lamps or direct sunlight) in the immediate vicinity of the pulse oximeter.
• Protect the pulse oximeter from dust, shocks, moisture, extreme temperatures and explosive materials.
ENGLISH
Battery Handling Safety Precautions
• Use only the size and type of batteries specified.
• Be sure to follow the correct polarity when installing the batteries. Reversed batteries may cause damage to the device.
• Do not mix different types of batteries together (e.g. Alkaline and Carbon-zinc or rechargeable batteries) or old batteries with fresh ones. Always replace batteries
as a simultaneous set.
• If the batteries in the device are depleted or the device will not be used for a long period of time, remove the batteries to prevent damage or injury from possible
battery leakage.
• Do not try to recharge batteries not intended to be recharged; they can overheat and rupture (follow battery manufacturer’s directions).
• Do not dispose of batteries in fire, batteries may explode or leak.
• Clean the battery contacts and also those of the device prior to battery installation.
• Remove discharged batteries from the product and dispose/recycle in compliance with all applicable laws.
• Keep batteries away from children and pets. Batteries may be harmful if swallowed. Should a child or pet swallow a battery, seek medical assistance immediately.
Notes on electromagnetic compatibility
• The device is suitable for use in all environments listed in these instructions for use, including domestic environments.
• The use of the device may be limited in the presence of electromagnetic disturbances. This could result in issues such as error messages or the failure of the
display/device.
• Avoid using this device directly next to other devices or stacked on top of other devices, as this could lead to faulty operation. If, however, it is necessary to use
the device in the manner stated, this device as well as the other devices must be monitored to ensure they are working properly.
• The use of accessories other than those specified or provided by the manufacturer of this device can lead to an increase in electromagnetic emissions or a decrease
in the device’s electromagnetic immunity; this can result in faulty operation.
• Failure to comply with the above can impair the performance of the device.
2. Intended Use
The Pulse Oximeter is a non-invasive device intended for the spot-check of saturation of arterial hemoglobin (SpO₂) and the pulse rate of adult in home use
environments. This device is not intended for continuous monitoring. The device can be multi-used. Solely for use with sporting and aviation activities. Intended to
monitor heart rate during exercise.
