sure and pulse rate in the adult and pediatric populaon. Do not use this
device on infants or person who cannot express their intenon.
1.3 Safety Informaon
To assure the correct use of the ear thermometer, basic safety measures should
always be followed including the warnings and cauons lied in this instrucon

mediately and refrain from further use. Contact our service department (see
front cover).
• The device may not be used near a nuclear magnec tomographic resonance.
• Using components that are not part of the scope of delivery can produce
faulty measurements (Excepon: baery replacement).
• DO NOT subject the monitor to strong shocks such as dropping the unit on
the oor.
• DO NOT damage the baeries. If baery uid gets in your eyes, immediately

1.3.1 Operang the Device

English
• Store the device in a clean, safe locaon.
• DO NOT disassemble the Smart Pulse Oximeter.
• DO NOT use the Smart Pulse Oximeter in a MRI or CT environment.
• DO NOT use the Pulse Oximeter in the presence of ammable anesthecs.
• Explosion hazard: DO NOT use the Smart Pulse Oximeter in an explosive at-
mosphere.
• Chemicals from OLED panel are toxic if ingested. Use cauon if the device
display screen is broken.
• The Smart Pulse Oximeter is intended only as an adjunct in paent assess-
ment. It must be used in conjuncon with other methods of assessing clinical
signs and symptoms.
• Check the Pulse Oximeter applicaon site frequently to determine skin sen-
sivity of the paent.
• Prolonged use or the paent’s condion may require changing the site peri-
odically. Change nger and check skin integrity, circulatory status.
• Use only 1.5V alkaline baeries with this device. Other type of baery may

1.3.1.2 Cauons
• Signicant levels of dysfunconal hemoglobin may cause inaccurate readings.
• Measurements may be aected by dyes such as indocyanine green and meth-
ylene blue.
• Measurements may be aected by upper ambient light (e.g. direct sunlight).
• Excessive user movement may cause inaccuracy.
• Upper-frequency electrosurgical interference may cause inaccurate readings.
• Venous pulsaons may cause inaccurate readings
• Placement of Pulse Oximeter on an extremity with a blood pressure cu, arte-
rial catheter, or intravascular line may cause inaccurate readings.
• Users with hypotension, severe vasoconstricon, anemia, and/or hypother-
mia may cause inaccuracy.
• Autoclaving, ethylene oxide sterilizing, or immersing the pulse oximeter in
liquid may cause inaccurate measurements.
• Excessive user movement may cause inaccurate readings
• All NantLife devices are designed to be compliant with rules and regulaons

General informaon about oxygen saturaon in blood:
Your oxygen saturaon in blood uctuates throughout the day. Hypoxemia, or low
blood oxygen, describes a lower than normal level of oxygen in your blood. In order
to funcon properly, your body needs a constant level of oxygen circulang in the
blood to cells and ssues. When this level of oxygen falls below a certain amount,
hypoxemia occurs and you may experience shortness of breath.
Your doctor determines whether you have hypoxemia by measuring your blood oxy-
gen level — the amount of oxygen traveling in your arteries. Your blood oxygen can
be measured by tesng a sample of blood from an artery. (Resource: Mayo Family
Health Book, Fourth Edion)
NantLife pulse oximeter, a small device that clips on your nger, measures the satu-
raon of oxygen in your blood; the results are oen used as an esmate of blood
oxygen levels. Normal pulse oximeter readings range from 95 to 100 percent, under
most circumstances. Values under 90 percent are considered low.
If you monitor your blood oxygen regularly, you will discover more about your
body’s reacons to external inuences (e.g. stress, air polluon or exercise), and
you will be able to consciously develop a healthier lifestyle.
1.4 Before Taking a Measurement
9

Your healthcare providers want to get an accurate picture of your blood oxy-
gen levels and chart what happens over me. Your doctor will evaluate the
data you have stored, once you share it with her/him, and will immediately
have a beer overview of the course of your blood oxygen measurements. You
will be controlling and supporng the monitoring of your doctor’s treatment.
• Avoid eang, drinking alcohol, smoking, exercising, and bathing for more
than 30 minutes before taking your measurement.
• Rest for 10 minutes before taking the measurement.
• Do not take measurement during stressful mes.
• Remain sll during measurement.
• Try to measure your oxygen saturaon in blood at about the same me every
day for consistency.
