Before use, carefully read these operating instructions, the sensor and extension cable
directions for use, and precautionary information.
Shock or burn hazard.
Other manufacturers’ oxygen transducers may cause improper oximeter performance and
invalidate safety agency certification. Use only oxygen transducers approved for this product.
Inaccurate pulse oximeter readings.
Do not use a damaged extension cable or one with exposed electrical contacts. Never use more
than one extension cable between the pulse oximeter and the sensor.
Inaccurate pulse oximeter readings.
Do not use a damaged sensor. Do not alter the sensor in any way. Alterations or modifications
may affect performance and/or accuracy.
Inaccurate pulse oximeter readings.
Sensors exposed to ambient light (such as sunlight, surgical lights, or bilirubin lamp) when
incorrectly applied to a patient may exhibit inaccurate saturation readings. Securely place the
sensor on the patient and check the sensor’s application frequently to help ensure accurate
readings.
