Pulse Oximeter Instructions for

This

Use

explains how to use the Pulse
Oximeter to measure your blood
oxygen level (%SpO
rate from the comfort and
convenience of your home. It also
explains how to maintain, clean,
and troubleshoot the Pulse
Oximeter and gives a number of
safety precautions you should
follow to assure safe, reliable and
accurate measurements.

In only a few minutes every day
you can provide these
measurements to your healthcare
provider so that he/she can make
better decisions about your care. In

your health care and quality of life.

How the System Works

With this system, the Pulse
Oximeter measurements are
immediately sent to your Home
Hub or TeleStation, which then
automatically transmits them over
your telephone line to your
healthcare provider’s computer.
While the system uses your
telephone to transmit the

measurement, feel free to talk on
you phone at any time -- the system
is “smart” enough to know when
the phone line is open. It will wait
and then send the information after
you hang up.

Keeping the System
Working

If at any time you suspect
something is wrong with the Pulse
Oximeter or any part of the
Telemonitoring System,
immediately contact your
healthcare provider. Philips will
replace any defective device. You
can also cross-check your results
with another Pulse Oximeter if
additional measurement devices of
the same type are available to you.

Thank You!

Thank you for taking an active role
in your home healthcare plan.
Philips and your healthcare
provider applaud your efforts to
actively participate in you health
care plan.
