1. Included in Delivery

• 1x PO 60 pulse oximeter
• 2x 1.5 V AAA batteries
• 1x lanyard
• 1x belt bag

2. Intended Use

The Beurer PO 60 pulse oximeter is intended for non-invasive measurement of arterial oxygen saturation (SpO₂) and heart rate (pulse rate) in humans. It is suitable for both home and medical sector use.

3. Getting to Know Your Device

The pulse oximeter uses two light rays of differing wavelengths to measure oxygen saturation and heart rate. Low oxygen saturation may indicate underlying illnesses. Symptoms of low oxygen saturation can include shortness of breath, increased heart rate, weakness, nervousness, and sweating. Consult a doctor immediately if you experience acutely diminished oxygen saturation. This device is beneficial for individuals at risk, such as those with heart disease or asthma, as well as athletes and healthy individuals at high altitudes.

5. Warnings and Safety Notes

Read these instructions carefully to avoid personal injury or material damage. Ensure the package contents are complete and check the device for visible damage before use. Do not use the device if it is damp, on small children or babies, during MRI/CT scans, while taking a blood pressure measurement on the same arm, on fingers with nail varnish, dirt, or plasters, on fingers that are too large or too small, on patients with trembling, or near flammable gases. Prolonged use may cause discomfort for individuals with circulatory disorders; limit use to approximately 2 hours per finger. The device provides instantaneous measurements and is not for continuous monitoring. It does not have an alarm function. Do not self-diagnose or self-medicate. Avoid looking directly into the housing during measurement as the light can be harmful to your eyes. Supervise children around the device. Ensure fingers are clean and nails are short. Keep your hand and body steady during measurement. Measurements may be incorrect for individuals with cardiac arrhythmia, carbon monoxide poisoning, low blood pressure, jaundice, or those taking medication for vascular contraction. Medical dyes or abnormal haemoglobin levels can also affect accuracy. Protect the device from dust, shocks, moisture, extreme temperatures, and explosive materials.

Notes on handling batteries:

• Keep batteries out of reach of children.
• Observe polarity signs (+/-).
• If batteries leak, clean the compartment with a dry cloth and wear protective gloves.
• Protect batteries from excessive heat and do not throw them into fire.
• Do not charge or short-circuit batteries.
• Remove batteries if the device will not be used for an extended period.
• Use only identical or equivalent battery types and replace all batteries simultaneously.
• Do not use rechargeable batteries.
• Do not disassemble, open, or crush batteries.

6. Unit Description

• Lanyard holder: For attaching the lanyard.
• Function button: For switching on/off, Bluetooth® settings, and brightness adjustment.
• Finger opening: Where the finger is inserted for measurement.
• Display: Shows %SpO₂, PR bpm, pulse wave, pulse bar, and battery level.

7. Initial Use

7.1 Inserting the batteries

1. Slide open the battery compartment lid.
2. Insert two 1.5V AAA batteries, observing correct polarity.
3. Close the battery compartment cover.

7.2 Attaching the lanyard

1. Insert the narrow end of the lanyard through the holder.
2. Draw the other end of the lanyard through the loop at the narrow end and tighten.

8. Operation

1. Insert a finger into the finger opening and hold it steady.
2. Press the function button to start the measurement. Remain still during the measurement.
3. Measurement values will appear on the screen after a few seconds.

Function Button Functions:

• Switch-on: Briefly press to turn on the device.
• Bluetooth®: Press and hold for 5 seconds to access settings. Briefly press to toggle ON/OFF. Press and hold for 5 seconds to return to measurement mode. The device switches off automatically after 10 seconds of inactivity.
• Transferring measurements: See section 10.
• Brightness: Hold down the function button during operation to adjust display brightness.

Note: The display automatically orients itself (vertical/horizontal) for easy reading.

9. System Requirements for the App „beurer HealthManager“

• iOS from version 10.0
• AndroidTM from version 5.0
• Bluetooth® from version 4.0

10. Transfer of Measured Values via Bluetooth® Low Energy Technology

Ensure Bluetooth® is activated (ON) on both your smartphone and the pulse oximeter, and that the „beurer HealthManager“ app is open. For accurate data logging, connect the PO 60 to your smartphone before the first measurement. A PIN code will be displayed on the pulse oximeter for pairing.

Data Synchronization Options:

• Option 1: With the pulse oximeter off, press and hold the function button for 5 seconds. „SYNC“ will flash on the display. The device will attempt to connect to the app for approximately 10 seconds. Data is transferred automatically upon successful connection.
• Option 2: After measurements are taken, data is automatically sent to the app. „SYNC“ will flash on the display, and the device will attempt to connect for approximately 10 seconds. Data is transferred automatically upon successful connection. If Bluetooth® is deactivated, the message „OFF“ will appear.

Note: Bluetooth® activation and app usage are required for data transfers. Time and date are synchronized with the smartphone during each transfer.

11. Evaluating Measurement Results

WARNING: The following evaluation table is not applicable to individuals with pre-existing conditions (e.g., asthma, heart failure, respiratory diseases) or those at altitudes above 1500 meters. Always consult your doctor for evaluation if you have pre-existing conditions.

Decline in oxygen saturation depending on altitude:

Note: This table does not apply to individuals with pre-existing conditions. They may show signs of illness (e.g., hypoxia) at lower altitudes.

12. Maintenance/Cleaning

IMPORTANT: Do not use high-pressure sterilization. Do not immerse the pulse oximeter in water.

• Clean the housing and interior rubber surface with a soft cloth dampened with medical alcohol after each use.
• Replace batteries if a low battery status appears.
• Remove batteries if the device will not be used for more than one month to prevent leakage.

13. Storage

IMPORTANT: Store the pulse oximeter in a dry place (relative humidity ≤ 95%) with an ambient temperature between -40°C and 60°C. High humidity may shorten the service life or damage the device.

14. Disposal

Dispose of empty batteries through designated collection points or recycling centers. Do not dispose of batteries with household waste. Dispose of the device at a suitable local collection or recycling point in accordance with the EC Directive – WEEE. Contact local authorities for waste disposal information.
