2. Intended use
Only use the Beurer PO 30 pulse oximeter on humans to measure the arterial oxygen saturation
(SpO₂) of haemoglobin and the heart rate (pulse rate). The pulse oximeter is suitable for private
use (at home) as well as for use in the medical sector (hospitals, medical establishments).
3. Getting to know your device
The Beurer PO 30 pulse oximeter provides a non-invasive measurement of the arterial oxygen
saturation (SpO ) and the heart rate (pulse rate). Oxygen saturation indicates the percentage of
2
haemoglobin in arterial blood that is loaded with oxygen. Therefore it is an important parameter
for assessing the respiratory function. To take a measurement, the pulse oximeter uses two rays
of light with differing wavelengths, which strike the finger inserted inside the housing. A low
oxygen saturation value generally indicates underlying illnesses (respiratory diseases, asthma,
heart failure etc.).
People with a low oxygen saturation value are more likely to experience the following symptoms:
shortness of breath, increased heart rate, weakness, nervousness and outbreaks of sweating. If
oxygen saturation is known to be chronically diminished, it requires monitoring using the pulse
oximeter under medical supervision. If you have acutely diminished oxygen saturation, with or
without the accompanying symptoms, you must consult a doctor immediately as it could lead
to a life-threatening situation. The pulse oximeter is particularly suitable for patients at risk such
as people with heart disease or asthma, but also for athletes and healthy people who exercise at
high altitude (e.g. mountaineers, skiers or amateur pilots).
