1. Scope of delivery
1x PO 30 pulse oximeter, 2x 1.5 V AAA batteries LR03, 1x neck strap, 1x belt pouch, 1x these instructions
for use
2. Intended use
Only use the Beurer PO 30 pulse oximeter on humans to measure arterial oxygen saturation (SpOÿ) of
hemoglobin and heart rate (pulse rate).
The pulse oximeter is suitable for use in the private environment (at home) as well as in the medical field
(hospitals, medical facilities).
3. To get to know each other
The Beurer PO 30 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, increased heart rate, 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
patients at risk 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 observe the following instructions can cause
personal injury or damage to property. Keep the instructions for use
instructions 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
become.
• Under no circumstances may you open or repair the device, as otherwise it cannot be guaranteed that
it will function properly. 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
(Finger tip: width approx. > 20 mm, thickness approx. >15 mm).
ÿ NOT on fingers with anatomical changes, edema, scars or burns
gen.
ÿ NOT on fingers that are too thin and too small, such as those of small children
occur (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 always shows an instantaneous reading, but cannot be used for continuous
monitoring. • The pulse oximeter does not have an alarm function and is therefore not suitable for
evaluation
medical results.
• Based on the measurement results, do not conduct self-diagnosis or treatment without
consultation with your treating doctor. In particular, do not start any new medication yourself 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 infrared light from the pulse oximeter are harmful to the eyes.
• This device is not intended to be used by people (including children) with restricted physical,
sensory or mental abilities or lack of experience and/or knowledge, unless they are supervised by a
person responsible for their safety or received instructions from her 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 may 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 cover the sensor
elements in the housing.
• Keep your hand, fingers and body still during the measurement process.
• In the case of people with cardiac arrhythmias, 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, there should be no strong light sources (eg fluorescent
lamps or direct sunlight) in the immediate vicinity of the pulse oximeter.
• People who have low blood pressure, suffer from jaundice or are taking medication that causes
vasoconstriction may have erroneous or falsified measurements.
• Patients who have received clinical dyes in the past and patients with abnormal hemoglobin levels are
likely to be biased. This applies in particular to carbon monoxide poisoning and methaemoglobin
poisoning, which are caused, for example, by the administration of local anesthetics or when there is a
methaemoglobin reductase deficiency.
• Protect the pulse oximeter from dust, shock, moisture and extreme temperatures
and explosive substances.
Notes on handling batteries
• If liquid from a battery cell comes into contact with skin or eyes that are affected
wash the 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 has leaked, put on protective gloves and remove the battery compartment
clean 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.
