− if you are allergic to rubber products.

− whilst taking a blood pressure measurement on the same arm using a cuff.
− on fingers that have nail varnish on, are dirty or have a plaster or other dressing on
them.
− on large fingers that do not fit into the device easily (fingertip: width approx. > 20
mm, thickness >15 mm).
− on fingers with anatomical changes, oedemas, scars or burns.
− on fingers that are too small, as with small children for example (width approx. < 10
mm, thickness < 5 mm).
− on patients who are not steady at the site of application (e.g. trembling).
− near flammable or explosive gas mixtures.
Using the device for long periods may cause pain for people with circulatory disor-
•
ders. Therefore do not use the pulse oximeter for longer than approx. 2 hours on one
finger.
The pulse oximeter displays a current measurement but cannot be used for continu-
•
ous monitoring.
The pulse oximeter does not have an alarm function and is therefore not suitable for
•
evaluating medical results.
Do not self-diagnose or self-medicate on the basis of the measurements without
•
consulting your doctor. In particular, do not start taking any new medication or
change the type and/or dosage of any existing medication without prior approval.
