Beurer PO 30 Anleitung Seite 17

Non-observance of the following instructions can lead to incorrect or failed measurements.
There must not be any nail varnish, artificial nails or other cosmetics on the finger to be
•
measured.
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.
•
For people with cardiac arrhythmia, the measurement values of SpO₂ and the heart rate may
•
be incorrect or the measurement may not be possible at all.
In cases of carbon monoxide poisoning, the pulse oximeter displays a measurement value
•
that is too high.
To avoid falsifying the measuring result, there should not be any strong light sources (e.g.
•
fluorescent lamps or direct sunlight) in the immediate vicinity of the pulse oximeter.
People with low blood pressure, who suffer from jaundice or take medication for vascular
•
contraction, may experience incorrect or falsified measurements.
Incorrect measurements are likely for patients who have been administered medical dye in
•
the past or for those who have abnormal haemoglobin levels. This applies in particular for
cases of carbon monoxide poisoning and methaemoglobin poisoning, which can occur for
example from the administration of local anaesthetics or from an existing methaemoglobin
reductase deficiency.
Protect the pulse oximeter from dust, shocks, moisture, extreme temperatures and explosive
•
materials.
