2 Applications
Please read this important information!
2.1 Intended Use / Use for Intended Purpose
SECULIFE SP BASE is a digital pulse oximetry simulator. It is intended as a testing
instrument for patient monitors. It produces pulses of infrared and red light to simu-
late various combinations of oxygen saturations, heart rates, and perfusion indices.
At the same time it reads the signals from a connected patient monitor.
SECULIFE SP BASE is also designed to function as an accessory for the patient
simulator SECULIFE PS300. SECULIFE SP BASE adds the simulation of SpO2 to
the patient simulator‘s range of parameters.
This instrument must not be used as a medical device. That means, the instrument
is intended for testing only and must never be used in diagnostics, treatment or any
other capacity where it would come in contact with a patient.
Safety of the operator, as well as that of the instrument, is only assured when it’s
used for its intended purpose.
2.2 Use for Other than Intended Purpose
Using the instrument for any purposes other than those described in the con-
densed operating instructions or these instrument operating instructions is contrary
to use for intended purpose.

or consequential damage resulting from improper or incorrect use of the product, in
particular due to failure to observe the product documentation. Furthermore, all
guarantee claims are rendered null and void in such cases.
2.4 Opening the Instrument / Repairs
The instrument may only be opened by authorized, trained personnel in order to
ensure flawless, safe operation and to assure that the guarantee isn’t rendered null
and void. Even original replacement parts may only be installed by authorized,
trained personnel.
Unauthorized modifications to the instrument are prohibited.
If it can be ascertained that the instrument has been opened by unauthorized per-
sonnel, no guarantee claims can be honored by the manufacturer with regard to
personal safety, measuring accuracy, compliance with applicable safety measures
or any consequential damages.
Nor does Gossen Metrawatt GmbH assume any liability for data loss.
