LIMITATIONS AND CONTRAINDICATIONS

wheezo® is not intended for diagnostic use. wheezo® is intended to detect and record abnormal breath sounds (continuous adventitious breath sounds/CABS) at the windpipe (trachea), reported as WheezeRate in adults and children (2 years and older). A licensed health care professional's advice is required to understand the meaning and importance of the wheezo® readings.

OPERATING ENVIRONMENT

wheezo® has been designed for use in a quiet environment e.g. home, school or office. It is not designed to be used in direct air currents (e.g. wind), source of heat or cold, direct sun rays or other source of light or energy, dust, sand or any other chemical substances or performance will be affected.

WARNINGS

If the user is feeling breathless, or experiencing other symptoms, it is important to prioritise treatment over taking a wheeze rate. Do not delay treatment. Regardless of the wheeze rate, if the user has signs and symptoms such as chest tightness, shortness of breath, coughing or wheezing, they should always follow their healthcare professional's advice. Electromagnetic interference (EMI) can occur in the home health care environment as control over other equipment cannot be guaranteed. Interference from other equipment can be recognized by interruption during recording. If this occurs, one of the following error messages will appear on the application screen: Something went wrong. (Error code: 266) - Try again
Couldn't find my breath sensor. Make sure it is switched on and within range - Try again There is no essential performance for the wheezo® device for the purpose of wheeze recording. The basic safety of the device is not affected if the recording is interrupted. Continuous transmission of breath sounds and background sounds to the respiri™ app over Bluetooth demonstrates the immunity to sources of electromagnetic interference. This has been demonstrated by complying with the standard IEC 60601-1-2. Moving away from the source of interference will usually allow the device to operate normally. Sources of interference may include communication equipment, wireless communication devices, household appliances, and industrial equipment. Examples are radio frequency identification systems (RFID), FM radio, television, cellular network of mobile phones, security systems, and microwave ovens. Portable RF communications equipment (including peripherals such as antenna cables and external antennas) should be used no closer than 30 cm (12 inches) to any part of wheezo® including cables specified by the manufacturer. Otherwise, degradation of the performance of this equipment could result.
