WARNING Patient injury risk. The sensor and extension cable are
intended only for connection to pulse co-oximetry equipment. Do
not attempt to connect these cables to a PC or any similar device.
Always follow the sensor manufacturer's directions for care and
use of the sensor.
2. Clean the application site. Remove anything, such as nail polish, that could interfere with
sensor operation.
Note Do not use disposable sensors on patients who have allergic
reactions to the adhesive.
3. Attach the sensor to the patient according to the manufacturer's directions for use, observing
all warnings and cautions.
Note If a sterile sensor is required, select a sensor that has been
validated for sterilization, and follow the sensor manufacturer's
directions for sterilizing the sensor.
Place the sensor and the NIBP cuff on different limbs to reduce unnecessary alarms when you
monitor these parameters at the same time.
Note
A range of sensors is available for different patient sizes and
measurement sites. Consult the sensor manufacturer's instructions
for selecting the correct sensor.
4. Confirm that the monitor displays SpO2 and pulse rate data within 15 seconds of connection to
the patient.
WARNING Patient injury risk. Incorrect sensor application or
excessive duration of sensor use can cause tissue damage. Inspect
the sensor site periodically as directed in the sensor
manufacturer's instructions.
While SpO2 is being measured, the displayed pulse rate is derived from the sensor. If SpO2 is not
available, the pulse rate is derived from NIBP.
Detaching the sensor during a measurement in Monitor mode triggers an alarm.
If SpO2 is being measured continuously on a patient for an extended period, change the sensor
location at least every three hours or as indicated by the sensor manufacturer's instructions.
