Do not look directly inside the housing during the measurement. The red light and the

invisible infra-red light in the pulse oximeter are harmful to your eyes.
This device is not intended for use by people (including children) with restricted

physical, sensory or mental skills or a lack of experience and/or a lack of knowledge,

Ensure that the finger nail on the finger to be measured is short enough that the

For people with cardiac arrhythmia, the measurement values of SpO₂ and the heart

rate may be incorrect or the measurement may not be possible at all.
In cases of carbon monoxide poisoning, the pulse oximeter displays a measurement
