OMED Health Breath Analyzer and App Connection 

OMED Health Breath Analyzer and App Connection

The Breath Analyzer and App aren’t connecting. How do I connect them?

  • Ensure that the battery in the Breath Analyzer is sufficiently charged to enable operation. Observe the side indicator status – if it is illuminated red (not flashing), re-charge the battery using the cable supplied.   
  • Ensure that the Breath Analyzer has previously been paired with the App. The App provides guidance on how to pair the device when needed.  
  • Ensure that you have Bluetooth communication switched on in your phone settings before you try to connect the Breath Analyzer.  
  • Observe the side indicator status – if it flashes three times repeatedly in a sequence there is a device error.  Contact OMED Health Customer Support on support@omedhealth.com to request assistance.

My breath analysis results are not appearing in my App.

Breath analysis results will be presented in the App when a valid breath sample is provided, the environmental conditions for use of the Breath Analyzer are in range, and there are no hardware errors detectedThe App will provide user notifications if it is necessary to re-collect a breath sample and will manage operation of the Breath Analyzer for you in this period.

Status indicators on the OMED Health Breath Analyzer

Status indicators on the OMED Health Breath Analyzer

There is a red indicator light on the side of my Breath Analyzer – what does this mean?

If it is on continuously (i.e. not flashing), it means the battery level is low in your Breath Analyzer. Re-charge the device using the charging cable supplied.

Status indicators on the OMED Health Breath Analyzer

There is an amber flashing indicator on the top of my Breath Analyzer – what does this mean?

The Breath Analyzer is warming up or in cleaning mode. Observe the countdown timer in the App to monitor when the product will be ready to enable the breath sampling process.

Status indicators on the OMED Health Breath Analyzer

There is a red flashing indicator on the top of my Breath Analyzer – what does this mean?

If the indicator flashes in a sequence of 3 pulses, the Breath Analyzer has detected an invalid breath sample.

If the indicator flashes in a sequence of 5 pulses, the Breath Analyzer has detected that the environmental temperature or humidity is out of range for breath sampling, or the Breath Analyzer has failed to warm up in the allocated time. Follow the in-app user notifications in preparation for providing a further breath sample.

My Breath Analyzer is taking a long time to warm up.

When in regular use, the Breath Analyzer will usually take 2 minutes to warm up before it is ready for breath sampling. However, up to a further 3 minutes of time may be needed if:

1) You try to use the Breath Analyzer immediately after you receive it and before it has been charged.

2) If you try to use the Breath Analyzer following a period of several days or weeks of non-use and it has not recently been charged.

Occasionally the App may also notify that warm up has failed after a further 3 minutes of time, or if the Breath Analyzer is required to be charged for a minimum of 15 minutes before breath sampling.

Extended warm up times (and associated steps to resolve) are a normal and intended feature of Breath Analyzer device operation. The device is not broken or damaged if you observe this behaviour.

How do I know if my Breath Analyzer is charging when plugged in?

The side indicator on the Breath Analyzer will flash green whilst the battery is being re-charged. When battery charge has completed, the side indicator will illuminate green (not flashing).

Can I use any cable to charge the Breath Analyzer device?

You should use the cable supplied with the Breath Analyzer to re-charge the battery. If you have misplaced the charging cable supplied, please consult the product specifications table as shown in the Getting Started Guide.

How do I turn the Breath Analyzer off after use?

There is no requirement to manually power off the Breath Analyzer following use. The product will automatically switch off after a 3-minute period of inactivity and will go into Sleep Mode to conserve battery power.

I can’t upgrade the software on the Breath Analyzer when prompted to do so by the App.

Ensure that the battery in the Breath Analyzer is charged. You are recommended to carry out the software update with the Breath Analyzer connected to a power supply using the cable supplied. 

OMED Health Breath Analyzer

Do I need to switch the Breath Analyzer on before I perform a software update?

Yes, the Breath Analyzer will need to be powered on and connected to the App to enable the software update to be performed. When a software update is available from the App, you can choose to run the update when you next collect a breath sample. Simply tap the ‘+’ icon to add a breath sample and you will be prompted with instructions. 

Alternatively when a software update is available from the App, you can choose to run the update at any point before you collect a breath sample. Tap on the Account page, navigate to the My Device page and follow the on-screen prompts.  

Providing a Breath Sample

Providing a Breath Sample

I am getting a short breath error.

The ease with which a breath sample can be provided varies from person to person and depends to some extent on lung capacity and your breath sampling technique. It’s important that you release your breath into the Breath Analyzer mouthpiece in a steady, continuous flow for the time period specified in the in-app guidance. You may need to practice your technique to make the sampling process more comfortable. Take a moment to watch our video for practical insights on mastering the breath sampling process.

Providing a Breath Sample

The Breath Analyzer is not detecting my breath.

It may be necessary to release your breath into the Breath Analyzer with a higher flow rate to enable breath detection. You will need to release your breath in a single, consistent flow for the specified time.  If you release your breath too quickly it may be difficult to achieve a full sample. If your airflow is too inconsistent, this may invalidate the breath sample. In addition, please check the side indicator to determine if there is a hardware error (red light flashing in a sequence of 3 pulses).
