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.
− whilst taking a blood pressure measurement on the same arm using a cuff.
− on fingers that have nail varnish on, are dirty or have a plaster or other dressing on them.
− on large fingers that do not fit into the device easily (fingertip: width approx. > 20 mm,
thickness >15 mm).
− on fingers with anatomical changes, oedemas, scars or burns.
− on fingers that are too small, as with small children for example (width approx. < 10 mm,
thickness < 5 mm).
− on patients who are not steady at the site of application (e.g. trembling).
− near flammable or explosive gas mixtures.
Using the device for long periods may cause pain for people with circulatory disorders.
•
Therefore do not use the pulse oximeter for longer than approx. 2 hours on one finger.
The pulse oximeter displays a current measurement but cannot be used for continuous
•
monitoring.
The pulse oximeter does not have an alarm function and is therefore not suitable for evaluat-
•
ing medical results.
Do not self-diagnose or self-medicate on the basis of the measurements without consulting
•
your doctor. In particular, do not start taking any new medication or change the type and/or
dosage of any existing medication without prior approval.
Do not look directly inside the housing during the measurement. The red light and the invis-
•
ible 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 reliable diagnos-
tics for the pulse.
Non-observance of the following instructions can lead to incorrect or failed measurements.
