English Dear User, Thank you for purchasing the SPO PulseOx 5500 Finger Unit (the “PulseOx”). By purchasing this pulse oximeter, you have chosen a high quality device. SPO is convinced you will be fully satisfied with your new pulse oximeter. Please take a few moments to review the following instructions before using this PulseOx for the first time. If you still have questions, please contact your local dealer for assistance or SPO Medical at [email protected] Attention: see Instructions for Use Statement of Use: Spot-check pulse oximetry Safety: Self-diagnosis of measured results and selftreatment are dangerous. Please follow your physician's instructions. Diseases that cause peripheral circulatory disturbance may cause incorrect readings (including, but not limited to diabetics, hyperlipidemia, hypertension and arterial sclerosis). Carboxyhemoglobin and/or dyes may cause erroneous readings. The PulseOx 5500 is not intended for use as an apnea monitor. Do not use cellular phones near the PulseOx – this may cause interference. The PulseOx 5500 is a precision electro-optical device that, with the exception of replacing the battery, has no user serviceable or adjustable components inside. The PulseOx must be serviced by trained SPO Medical personnel only. If the PulseOx is mechanically damaged or the LCD presentation is blurred, the device must not be used. If elastic thimble changes its color (gray or white) or is not elastic enough (the PulseOx falls from the finger) it is not recommended to use the unit. The PulseOx is not - water-proof. Water penetration invalidates the warranty. Please note that the PulseOx includes a battery that should be disposed of in accordance with local environmental regulations. The pulse rate indicator is not suitable for monitoring the frequency of cardiac pacemakers. The PulseOx should only be used on intact skin. The use of this PulseOx 5500 by patients with special needs should be supervised by his/her caregiver.
