Troubleshooting – App & Breath Analyzer 

• Ensure that the battery in the breath analyzer is sufficiently charged to enable operation. Observe the side indicator status – if its illuminated red (not flashing), re-charge the battery using the supplied cable.  
• 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 info@omedhealth.com to request assistance. 

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 detected.  The 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.

• If its on (not flashing), that means the battery level is low in your breath analyzer device. Re-charge the product using the supplied charging cable.  
• If its flashing, that means a breath sampling error or device fault has occurred. Follow any in-app user notifications or contact OMED Health Customer Support via info@omedhealth.com.

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.  

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

If the indicator flashes in a sequence of 5 pulses, the breath analyzer has detected that 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.

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 and 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.

You should use the cable supplied with the areath analyzer to re-charge the battery. In the event that you have misplaced the supplied charging cable, please consult the product specifications table as shown in the Getting Started Guide.

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

• 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 supplied cable. 

• 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.  

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 a 20 second period following 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.

In order to complete the breath sampling process, you will need to release your breath in a single, consistent flow for 20 seconds. If you release your breath too quickly it may be difficult to achieve a 20 second sample. If your airflow is too inconsistent over the 20 second period, this may invalidate the breath sample.

It may be necessary to release your breath into the Breath Analyzer with a higher flow rate to enable breath detection. In addition, please check the side indicator to determine if there is a hardware error (red light flashing in a sequence of 3 pulses). 

Adding your favourite foods and drinks is simple. Simply type in your food or drink of choice and tick ‘Add as Favourite’ in the box below your entry and it will appear in your Favourites list for next time. 

The Progress Graphic updates as you log data and reflects your progress towards a Daily Minimum target, which comprises three food, three drink, three symptom, one lifestyle and four breath sample logs (when a Breath Analyzer is connected to the app). The Progress Graphic will not update further once you have achieved the Daily Minimum target for data collection. However, we recommend you continue to log data using the app and Breath Analyzer for the remainder of the day once you have achieved the daily minimum. All data logged in the app can be visualized and reported for use by your clinician. You are recommended to log data based on the data collection regime that you have agreed in advance with your clinician.

The infographic groups the data that you have recorded and makes it accessible in hourly intervals. Tap on the circles that are shown in hourly intervals on the 24-hour time axis to reveal more granular lists of food and drink data. Tap on any circles which display ‘…’ for symptoms, hydrogen, methane and lifestyle data to access more granular time-based data views.   

Yes, you can view, edit and delete any symptom, food/drink and lifestyle data that you have logged over the past 14 days by tapping on the ‘…’ button on the Home page of the app.  Breath sample data can either be saved or cancelled (deleted) immediately following breath sample collection as part of the standard breath sampling workflow.
