[ASUS VivoWatch 5 AERO] Precautions for wearing ASUS VivoWatch 5 AERO

Precautions for wearing ASUS VivoWatch 5 AERO

The ASUS VivoWatch health wearables are carefully crafted with materials selected with research, and they are certified to ensure quality. However, some users may experience skin irritation from prolonged contact with certain metals, which could be due to personal sensitivity (allergies, for example) or environmental factors.

Every material used in the ASUS VivoWatch undergoes careful evaluation and the devices are compliant with the following regulations: allergy prevention (ISO10993 biocompatibility), optical safety (IEC/EN 62471 photobiological safety testing), and medical equipment basic safety (IEC60601-1 3rd).

If you have a history of skin sensitivities or allergies, wearing devices such as the ASUS VivoWatch may increase the likelihood of experiencing an allergic reaction. To reduce this risk, it is recommended to follow these precautions:

(1) Take off the ASUS VivoWatch periodically to allow your skin to breathe.

(2) Keep your wrist clean and dry regularly to minimize the risk of skin irritation.

(3) Regular cleaning of the watch and wristband is necessary. Prolonged exposure to residual sweat, soap, lotion, and other substances on the wristband can cause skin irritation if not cleaned.

(4) Despite selecting materials based on biocompatibility test standards for this product, some users may still exhibit an allergic reaction to certain materials. If you have a confirmed case of sensitive skin, exercise caution when wearing the ASUS VivoWatch. Pay close attention to any signs of an allergic reaction during the first three days of use. If a severe allergic reaction such as skin itching occurs, promptly remove the ASUS VivoWatch and seek medical advice before wearing it again.

(5) If you experience redness, itching, or other allergic symptoms around your wrist or under the device while wearing the ASUS VivoWatch, take it off immediately and consult a doctor before using it again.

(6) If you have sensitive or delicate skin, it is advisable to assess your condition and determine a suitable duration for wearing the ASUS VivoWatch. The optical sensor on the device continuously takes readings, and if you experience light sensitivity, remove the device immediately and seek medical attention before continuing to wear it.

(7) Wearing the ASUS VivoWatch with an overly tight band can cause discomfort from prolonged skin friction and hinder the evaporation of sweat. Additionally, long exposure to moist and warm conditions can increase bacterial growth and skin sensitivity, leading to short-term allergic reactions. For optimal sensor performance and comfort, wearing the ASUS VivoWatch with a properly fitting band is essential. The back cover should be snug against your wrist.

• If the band fits correctly, the ASUS VivoWatch should be on your wrist securely, accurately measure your heart rate, and provide a comfortable wearing experience.

• If the band is too loose, the ASUS VivoWatch may slip, or the sensors may not accurately detect your heart rate. In this situation, adjust the band to a tighter fit.

(8) Adjust the wristband tighter during exercise to prevent the VivoWatch from moving and affecting measurement stability. Loosen the band after the workout to reduce pressure on the skin.
