WARNING
Note:
IMPORTANT
ÿ if the device or the finger you are using is damp.
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).

ÿ on small children or babies.
The Beurer PO 30 pulse oximeter provides a non-invasive measurement of the arterial oxygen saturation
(SpO2 ) and the heart rate (pulse rate). Oxygen saturation indicates the percentage of 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.).

Operating
Only use the Beurer PO 30 pulse oximeter on humans to measure the arterial oxygen saturation
(SpOÿ) 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).

The following table informs you of the effects of various altitudes on oxygen saturation value and its impact on
the human body. The following table does NOT apply to people with certain pre-existing conditions (e.g.
asthma, heart failure, respiratory diseases etc.). People with pre existing conditions can show signs of illness
(e.g. hypoxia) at lower altitudes.

Under no circumstances should you hold the pulse oximeter under water, as this can cause liquid to enter and
