Apnea: A sleep disorder in which breathing starts and stops.
Naloxone: A medication approved by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) designed to rapidly
reverse opioid overdose and OIRD.
Obstructive Sleep Apnea (OSA): Obstructive sleep apnea occurs when the muscles that support the
soft tissues in your throat, such as your tongue and soft palate, temporarily relax. When these muscles
relax, your airway is narrowed or closed, and breathing is momentarily cut off.

6
Opioid Induced Respiratory Depression (OIRD): A side effect of opioids that causes breathing to be
slowed or stopped.
Oxygenated Blood: Arterial blood where oxygen is bound to hemoglobin.
Perfusion: The bodily process of delivering blood to the capillary beds.
Physiological: The functions of biological systems and organs.
Pulse Oximeter: A medical device that uses a sensor to indirectly measure oxygen saturation of blood
and pulse rate.

Preventing Opioid Overdoses (SAMHSA)
WARNING: It is strongly recommended supervision be provided with naloxone. Please make sure that
anyone providing supervision is aware of signs of opioid overdose and understands how to help.
Opioid overdoses are deadly.
To help prevent opioid overdoses it is important to avoid using opioids without supervision. The Opioid
Halo System is designed as a tool to help increase awareness and recognition to prevent opioid
overdoses.
The most important part of this solution is that people are aware of signs of opioid overdose and
understand how to help. Let someone know about this product and share how they can recognize and
help if there is an opioid overdose.
SAMHSA1recommends 5 steps to help prevent opioid overdoses.
STEP 1 – Evaluate for Signs of Opioid Overdose
•Are they unconscious or unable to wake up?
•Are they having difficulty breathing?
•Are their fingernails or lips turning blue?
If you think they are having overdose, try to wake them up:
•Call their name.
•Rub your knuckles on the bone in the middle of their chest.
STEP 2 – Call 911 for Help
•If they are not responding or cannot stay responsive, call 911 to get help. Opioid overdose is
an emergency.
STEP 3 – Administer Naloxone
•If you still suspect they are overdosing, administer naloxone.
•Administer a 2nd dose of naloxone if not responding 2 to 3 minutes after the first dose.
STEP 4 – Support the Person’s Breathing
•Keep their airway clear.
STEP 5 – Monitor the Person’s Response
•Naloxone can cause opioid withdrawal symptoms to return or only last of short duration.
Watch them to make sure they do not start to overdose again.

Performance Warnings
WARNING: It is strongly recommended supervision be provided with naloxone. Please make sure that
anyone providing supervision is aware of signs of opioid overdose and understands how to help.
WARNING: Opioid Halo alarms may be less specific to OIRD when other medical conditions are
present (e.g., Obstructive Sleep Apnea). However, due to the emergency condition that opioid overdoses
can cause, the US CDC and SAMHSA recommend assuming any suspected opioid overdose be treated
as an actual opioid overdose.
WARNING: Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) can increase the risk of false OIRD alarms by causing
oxygenation instability trends that can be mistaken as OIRD, which can disrupt sleep. If you have or think
you have OSA, seek advice from your Healthcare provider.
CAUTION: Do not use the Opioid Halo System as an apnea monitor. The Opioid Halo System is not
designed to detect apnea.
CAUTION: The Opioid Halo System is not a replacement for individuals that require post-surgical
monitoring directed by a physician.
CAUTION: The following factors can affect the effectiveness of Opioid Halo:
•Sensor is applied incorrectly.
•Restricted blood flow to the sensor site.
•Sensor site has nail polish, acrylic nails, glitter, etc.
•A sensor site with moisture, birthmarks, skin discoloration, or foreign objects that block the
sensor.
•Placed near other devices that may interfere with its operation.
•Excessive movement of the sensor is present.
•Possible medical conditions (e.g., Obstructive Sleep Apnea).
CAUTION: To ensure proper notification function, check the following occasionally:

For Supervisors or Caregivers
WARNING: Do not wait for an alarm. If you suspect someone is having an opioid overdose, call 911
and administer naloxone, if needed!
WARNING: If you suspect an opioid overdose, the CDC and SAMHSA recommend treating it as an
actual opioid overdose.
WARNING: Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) can increase the risk of false OIRD alarms. The Opioid
Halo utilizes the instability trends in oxygenation biomarker data caused by opioid induced respiratory
depression (OIRD). OSA can also cause oxygenation instability trends that can be mistaken as OIRD.
However, if you suspect an opioid overdose, the CDC and SAMHSA recommend treating it as an actual
opioid overdose.
WARNING: When used for monitoring someone on supplemental oxygen, periodically check on their
breathing. High flow rates (>2.0 L/min) of supplemental oxygen can indicate high oxygen level readings
even if they are having trouble breathing. The Opioid Halo System is not indicated for O2flow rates >2.0
L/min.
CAUTION: Relocate the Home Medical Hub if necessary. However, keep the Home Medical Hub in
the line of site of the sensor to ensure the most reliable Bluetooth connection.

Risks and Benefits
Opioid Induced Respiratory Depression (OIRD)
One of the side effects of opioids is the risk of OIRD. OIRD affects your body’s ability to work normally
including breathing.
When OIRD occurs and you stop breathing, your blood oxygen level can drop or desaturate or become
very unstable. Without enough oxygen in your blood, your brain, organs, and tissues can be damaged
and may fail.
The Opioid Halo System provides Opioid Halo that works to monitor your blood oxygenation biomarker
data (e.g., SpO2, Pulse Rate) to detect severe risk for OIRD. The Opioid Halo analyzes the stability of
your oxygenation to detect a risk of an opioid overdose. Because other medical conditions can also
cause instability in your oxygenation (e.g., obstructive sleep apnea), you may also get an alarm for an
oxygenation issue that is not opioid related. Regardless, if there is an alarm and you suspect or know
someone has taken opioids it is better to act as if they maybe having an opioid overdose.
According to US CDC1, the recognition of opioid overdoses can be difficult. If unsure it is best to treat the
situation like an overdose - it could save a life. Call 911 or seek medical care for the individual. Do not
leave the person alone. Signs of overdose may include:
•Small, constricted "pinpoint pupils"
•Falling asleep or loss of consciousness
•Slow, shallow breathing
•Choking or gurgling sounds
•Limp body
•Pale, blue, or cold skin

16
Risks of Opioid Halo
•Supplemental oxygen greater than 2.0 L/min will add oxygen to the blood. This may delay
the detection of OIRD.
•Opioids can stop breathing immediately. In these cases, the Opioid Halo may not alarm soon
fast enough. Make sure that anyone providing supervision is aware of signs of opioid
overdose and understands how to help.
•Because there are skin-contacting components, there is a risk of skin irritation, pressure
injury, and general discomfort while a sensor or cuff is applied to a user. Periodically check
the areas where the user’s skin contacts with the sensor or blood pressure cuff to prevent
potential issues.
Benefits of Opioid Halo
•The Opioid Halo System is equipped with audible and visual physiological alarms that can
alert potential opioid overdose.
•The Opioid Halo System can add your emergency contacts to provide increased awareness
to an opioid overdose.
•The Opioid Halo System can trigger a wellness call if your oxygenation is showing signs of
an opioid overdose.
