Reactions And Side Effects; Compliance With Standards; Preparing For Use - Philips DL7421 Manual

- Make sure the device is in proper working
condition before use.
- Do not wear the device when showering,
bathing, swimming or scuba diving, as this may
damage the device. The device is rain, splash
and sweat resistant.
- If you travel by plane, contact your airline to
determine if Personal Electronic Devices (PEDs)
like the Philips health band can be used during
the flight. The device uses Bluetooth Low
Energy, which should be considered safe for
most airlines. If you need to switch off
Bluetooth communication, put the health band
in 'sleep mode'. Bluetooth communication is
now switched off. Disabling sleep mode will
turn on Bluetooth again. This will cause a false
entry in your sleep data.
- Follow these instructions when setting up your
device with the Philips HealthSuite health app:
-
Fill in the correct user profile data.
-
Fill in the correct wearing side.
- If you need more information on how to
operate the app, please go to the Philips
HealthSuite health app. It is explained in the
setup flow and the help section of the app.
- To reduce chances of injury during exercise
follow these recommendations:
-
Wear appropriate clothing and protective
gear
-
Always perform proper warm-up and cool-
down procedures
-
Slowly progress your activity level; plan 2-3
months to gradually increase exercise
duration and intensity. If you are not very
active, it is a good idea to start with taking
brisk walks on a regular basis.
-
Avoid vigorous to near maximal activity if
you are not very active or unaccustomed to
this.

Reactions and side effects

You may experience adverse reactions. This is due
to wearing the device in contact with your skin for
long periods at a time. These reactions may
include:
- Skin reactions due to pressure of the device on
the skin or the device rubbing against the skin.
- Skin reactions due to dirt or moisture in
between the device and the skin.
- The materials used (colored ABS and
thermoplastic polyurethane (TPU)) are chosen
and tested to prevent allergic reactions. Still,
skin irritation can occur due to these materials.
If you have such reactions, remove the health band
from your wrist. Stop using it until the reaction has
disappeared. Before you wear the health band
again, read the instructions on how to wear the
health band (see 'Wearing the health band'). This is
to prevent skin reactions.
Discontinue use and consult your doctor if
reactions persist.

type of Class II electrical medical equipment for
home use.
