baby and air. Please read these instructions for use carefully, keep them for later use, make them accessible to other
users and follow the instructions.
With kind regards
Your Beurer team
1. Scope of delivery
1x PO 60 pulse oximeter, 2x 1.5 V AAA batteries
1x lanyard, 1x belt pouch, 1x this manual
,
2. Intended use
Only use the Beurer PO 60 pulse oximeter on humans to measure arterial oxygen saturation (SpOÿ) of hemoglobin
and heart rate (pulse rate). The pulse oximeter is suitable for use both in the private sphere (at home) and in the medical
field (hospitals, medical facilities).
3. To get to know each other
The Beurer PO 60 pulse oximeter is used for non-invasive measurement of arterial oxygen saturation (SpO2 ) and heart
rate (pulse rate). The oxygen saturation indicates what percentage of the hemoglobin in the arterial blood is loaded with
oxygen. It is therefore an important parameter for assessing respiratory function. The pulse oximeter uses two light beams
of different wavelengths to measure, which hit the finger inside the housing. A low oxygen saturation value is mainly due
to diseases (respiratory diseases, asthma, cardiac insufficiency, etc.).
The following symptoms occur more frequently in people with a low oxygen saturation value: shortness of breath, heart
rate increase, loss of performance, nervousness and sweating. A chronic and known reduced oxygen saturation requires
monitoring by your pulse oximeter under medical supervision. An acutely reduced oxygen saturation, with or without
accompanying symptoms, must be clarified immediately by a doctor, it can be a life-threatening situation. The pulse
oximeter is therefore particularly suitable for high-risk patients such as people with heart disease and asthmatics, but also
for athletes and healthy people who move at high altitudes (e.g. mountaineers, skiers or sports pilots).

5. Warnings and Precautions
Read these instructions for use carefully! Failure to follow the instructions below can cause personal injury or damage to
property. Keep the instructions for use and make them accessible to other users. Pass on these operating instructions if
the device is passed on.
WARNING
• Check that all parts specified in the scope of delivery are included.
• Check the pulse oximeter regularly to ensure that there is no visible damage before use and that the batteries are
sufficiently charged. If in doubt, do not use it and contact Beurer customer service or an authorized dealer.
• Do not use any additional parts that are not recommended by the manufacturer or offered as accessories.
• Under no circumstances may you open or repair the device, as otherwise it cannot be guaranteed that it will
function correctly. Failure to do so will void the warranty. For repairs, contact Beurer customer service or an
authorized dealer.
Use the pulse oximeter
ÿ NOT if you are allergic to rubber products.
ÿ NOT if the device or the application finger is wet.
ÿ NOT on small children or infants.
ÿ NOT during an MRI or CT scan.
ÿ NOT during a blood pressure measurement on the arm side with cuff application.
ÿ NOT on fingers with nail polish, dirt or plaster bandages.
ÿ NOT on thick fingers that cannot be easily inserted into the device (fingertip: width approx. > 20 mm,
thickness approx. >15 mm)
ÿ NOT on fingers with anatomical changes, edema, scars or burns.
ÿ NOT on fingers that are too thin and too small, such as those found in small children (width approx.
< 10 mm, thickness approx. < 5 mm).
ÿ NOT on patients who are restless at the application site (eg tremors).
ÿ NOT in the vicinity of flammable or explosive gas mixtures.
• Prolonged use of the pulse oximeter can cause pain in persons with circulatory disorders. Therefore, do not use
the pulse oximeter on a finger for more than about 2 hours.
• The pulse oximeter displays an instantaneous reading at a time, but cannot provide a continuous over
guard are used.
• The pulse oximeter does not have an alarm function and is therefore not suitable for medical evaluation
shear results.
• Do not carry self-diagnosis or treatment based on the measurement results without consultation
your treating doctor. In particular, do not start a new medication on your own and do not make any changes to the type
and/or dosage of an existing medication.
• Do not look directly into the inside of the housing during the measurement process. The red light and the invisible
Bare infrared light from the pulse oximeter is harmful to the eyes.
• This device is not intended to be used by persons (including children) with restricted physi
physical, sensory or mental abilities or lack of experience and/or lack of knowledge, unless they are
supervised by a person responsible for their safety or have received instructions from them on how to use
the device. Children should be supervised to ensure they do not play with the device. • The display of the
pulse wave and the pulse column do not allow any assessment of the pulse or blood flow
strength at the measurement location, but only serve to display the current optical signal variation at the
measurement location, but they do not enable reliable pulse diagnostics.
Failure to follow the instructions below can result in erroneous measurements or measurement failure.
• There should be no nail polish, artificial nails or other cosmetics on the measuring finger. • When
using the measuring finger, ensure that the fingernail is short enough for the fingertip to touch the sensor element
ments covered in the housing.
• Keep your hand, fingers and body still during the measurement process.
• In the case of people with cardiac arrhythmia, the measured SpOÿ and heart rate values may be incorrect or the
measurement may not be possible at all.
• Pulse oximeter readings are too high in case of carbon monoxide poisoning.
• In order not to falsify the measurement result, people should be in the immediate vicinity of the pulse oximeter
no strong light source (e.g. fluorescent lamp or direct sunlight) are located. • In people who have low
blood pressure, suffer from jaundice or are taking vascular medication
contraction, erroneous or falsified measurements can occur.
• In patients who have received clinical dyes in the past and in patients with
an abnormal hemoglobin occurrence is to be expected with a false measurement. This applies in particular to carbon
monoxide poisoning and methemoglobin poisoning, which are caused, for example, by the administration of local
anesthetics or when there is a methemoglobin reductase deficiency.
• Protect the pulse oximeter from dust, shock, moisture, extreme temperatures and explosives
Substances.
Notes on handling batteries • If
liquid from a battery cell contacts your skin or eyes, wash the affected area with
water and seek medical attention.
• Danger of swallowing! Small children could swallow batteries and choke on them. Therefore, keep
batteries out of the reach of small children!
• Pay attention to the plus (+) and minus (-) polarity markings.
• If a battery leaks, put on protective gloves and clean the battery compartment with a dry cloth.
• Protect batteries from excessive heat.
• Danger of explosion! Do not throw batteries into fire.
• Batteries must not be charged or short-circuited.
• If the device is not going to be used for a long time, remove the batteries from the battery compartment.
• Use only the same or equivalent type of battery. • Always replace all batteries
at the same time.
• Do not use rechargeable batteries!
• Do not disassemble, open or shred batteries.
