4. USING THE OXIMETER
4.1. DESCRIPTION
The Bluetooth LED flashes red when searching for the Bluetooth signal and is fixed red when
the connection is made.
If the screen shows “?”, it means the signal is unstable. You need to take the reading again.
The battery indicator flashes when the battery is low. The device must be recharged using the
USB cable (
See figure B page 2
).
4.2. PRECAUTIONS BEFORE USE
- Do not use this device near an Electrosurgical Unit (ESU), since it may function incorrectly as
a result.
- The pulse oximeter must be placed so that the pulse can be recorded correctly and the main
objective is to evaluate the oxygen saturation (SpO
2
) level. Check that nothing is interfering
with the readings.
- Do not use the device in an MRI (Magnetic Resonance Imaging) or CT (Computed Tomography)
environment.
- Do not use this device in situations requiring the presence of an alarm.
- Do not use the device in hazardous environment.
- This device is not designed to be used while the user is being transported.
- The device must not be used near or on top of another device.
- The device must not be used when it is charging.
- Do not insert anything into the device except the USB cable during charging.
- Respect the temperature ranges and humidity levels shown in the specifications.
Inaccurate readings may result from :
- Nail-polish (colorimetric interference) or artificial nails
- High levels of dysfunctional hemoglobin (carboxyhemoglobin or methemoglobin)
- Intravascular dyes (indocyanine green or methylene blue)
- Bright light. If necessary, protect the sensor positioning area
- Excessive movement of the user
- Defibrillators and interference from high-frequency electrosurgical devices
- Venous pulse
- Placing the sensor on a user with a blood-pressure cuff, an arterial or intravascular catheter
- High blood pressure, severe vasoconstriction, acute anemia or hypothermia
- Heart failure
- Stress
- Poor pulse quality (low perfusion)
- Low level of hemoglobin.
4.3. RECOMMENDATIONS BEFORE TAKING MEASUREMENTS
- When using the device for the first time, make sure that the battery has been charged via the
USB port. Connect the USB cable of the device to a computer to charge it. Once the device has
been charged, you can disconnect the USB cable.
- Avoid eating, smoking or exercising for 30 minutes before measuring your oxygen saturation.
- Remain calm for 15 minutes before the measurement.
- Keep still and do not speak during the measurement.
4.4. DOWNLOADING THE APPLICATION
The following information may be updated.
Download the BewellConnect® application to your smartphone or tablet :
- via the App Store or Google Play
- by scanning the QR Code on the side of the box.
Then click on the
My

The results are immediately transferred by the application via Bluetooth 4.0 Smart Ready.
4.5. HOW TO TAKE MEASUREMENTS
See figure C page 2
Insert your finger (generally the index finger) into the device. The fingernail must be facing upwards.
The device turns itself on automatically when a finger is inserted. The readings appear on the
device screen. When the result flashes, the data has been transferred to the application.
Important : the data will only be transferred to the application if the application is open while
the device is being used and Bluetooth 4.0 Smart Ready is activated.
The device switches off automatically after eight seconds.
If it is difficult to obtain a reading, try with the other hand or with another finger on the same hand.
5. CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE
- To clean the silicone inside the oximeter that comes into contact with the finger, use 70°
