Securing the Wristband and Attaching the Sensor
The POD is automatically activated when a sensor is connected. When the POD’s Connection Status indicator flashes green, a connection is
established with the display unit. When it flashes amber, no connection is established. The POD’s wristband can either be reused or discarded after
use, as desired. It may be cut to length to accommodate a variety of patient arm sizes.
Connecting to the POD from a Master Device
The POD can be connected to any compatible Bluetooth-enabled device with supporting software. To create a connection to a compatible device,
refer to that device’s user instructions.
Important! The POD is a slave device, so users must connect from the master device. The POD does not initiate a connection.

Accuracy
Proper sensor placement is critical for good performance. Some factors that may degrade pulse oximeter performance include the following:
• incorrect sensor type
• poor pulse quality
• venous pulsations
• anemia or low hemoglobin concentrations
• cardiovascular dyes
• sensor not at heart level
• excessive ambient light
• excessive motion
• electrosurgical interference
• arterial catheters, blood pressure cuffs, infusion lines, etc.
• moisture in the sensor
• improperly attached sensor
Cleaning Instructions
Clean the POD with a soft cloth dampened with isopropyl alcohol. Do not pour or spray any liquids onto the device, and do not allow any liquids to
enter any openings in the device. Allow the unit to dry thoroughly before use.
IMPORTANT! Do not immerse the device in liquid, and do not use caustic or abrasive cleaning agents on the device.
Clean the device separately from its associated sensors. For instructions regarding cleaning pulse oximeter sensors, refer to the appropriate pulse
oximeter sensor package inserts.
