SAFETY INFORMATION
Pulse oximeters are sensitive to motion artefacts. Therefore keep hands still while taking a reading.
Pulse Oximeters require sufficient blood flow to obtain proper readings. If your hands are cold or you have poor circulation, warm your hands by
rubbing them together or use another method before attempting to obtain a reading. A tourniquet, blood pressure cuff or other blood flow
hindrances may also result in inaccurate readings.
Fingernail polish or acrylic nails obstruct the light transmission and may also result in inaccurate readings.
Your finger and the pulse oximeter must be clean for proper reading.
If a reading is different to obtain, switch to another finger or to the other hand.
Inaccurate measurement results may also caused by:
dysfunctional hemoglobin or low hemoglobin
the use of intravascular dyes
high ambient light
excessive patient movement
high-frequency electrosurgical interference and defibrillators
venous pulsations
placement of a sensor on an extremity with a blood pressure cuff, arterial catheter, or intravascular line
patients suffering from hypotension, severe vasoconstriction, severe anemia, or hypothermia
cardiac arrest or shock
false fingernails
circulatory disorder
The Pulse Oximeter will not alert you if your readings are out of normal range.
Explosion hazard: Do not use the Pulse Oximeter in an explosive atmosphere.
The device is not suitable for continuous blood oxygen monitoring.
To ensure a correct sensor alignment and skin integrity, the maximum application time on a single measurement place should be less than half an
hour.
In order to ensure correct sensor alignment and skin integrity, the maximum application time at a single site for our device should be less than 4
fours.
Operation of the Pulse Oximeter may be affected by the use of an electrosurgical unit (ESU).
Do not use the Pulse Oximeter in an MRI or CT environment.
The Pulse Oximeter is intended only as an adjunct in patient assessment. It must be used in conjunction with other methods of assessing clinical
signs and symptoms advised by a professional physician.
The device is not autoclavable and is not intended for sterilization or for cleaning with liquids.
This equipment is not intended for use during patient transport outside the healthcare facility.
This equipment should not be used adjacent to or stacked with other equipment.
The device must not be used with accessories, detachable parts and other materials not described in the instructions for use.
Please do not attempt to repair the unit yourself in the event of malfunctions. Stop using the device and conact the service centre.
The materials that contact with the patient’s skin have been tested to be in tolerance. In case you should detect skin irritations etc., stop using the
device and contact a doctor.
The swallowing of small parts like packaging bag, battery, battery cover and so on may cause suffocation.
In case of an unstable signal the measurement values may be faulty. Do not use these values as reference values.
SAFETY NOTES FOR BATTERIES
Do not disassemble batteries
Never leave any low battery in the battery compartment since it may leak and cause damage to the unit
Increased risk of leakage. Avoid contact with skin, eyes and mucous membranes
If battery acid comes in contact with any of these parts, rinse the affected area with copious amounts of fresh water and seek medical attention
immediately
If a battery has been swallowed, seek medical attention immediately
Insert the batteries correctly, observing the polarity
Keep batteries out of children`s reach
Do not attempt to recharge batteries. Do not short circuit. Do not throw into a fire. There is a danger of explosion.
Do not throw used batteries into the household refuse; put them in a hazardous waste container or take them to a battery collection point, at the
shop where they were purchased
