CAUTION 
  Precautions for Use of reusable sensors, DS-100A 
 Do not apply the sensor on the thumb or toe. It may cause incorrect 
measurements. 
 Do not use the sensor for long-term monitoring. 
 Circulation distal on the sensor site should be checked routinely. 
Reusable sensors must be moved to a new site at least every 4 hours. 
Because individual skin condition affects the ability of the skin to 
tolerate sensor placement, it may be necessary to change the sensor 
site more frequently with some patients. If skin integrity changes, 
move the sensor to another site. If long-term monitoring is required, 
use an OxiMax
 ®
 sensor (MAX-A, MAX-AL, or MAX-N). 
 Failure to apply the sensor properly may cause incorrect 
measurements. 
 While the sensor is designed to reduce the effects of ambient light, 
excessive light may cause inaccurate measurements. In such cases, 
cover the sensor with an opaque material. 
  Do not apply tape to secure the sensor in place or to tape it shut; venous 
pulsations may lead to inaccurate saturation measurements. 
 Excessive motion may compromise performance. In such cases, try to 
keep the patient still, or change the sensor site to one with less 
motion. 
 Intravascular dyes or externally applied coloring such as nail polish, 
dye, or pigmented cream may lead to inaccurate measurements. 
 Do not pull the sensor cable to remove the sensor from the device. 
 In the event of damage to the sterile packaging, do NOT use. Make 
sure to check whether the packaging and product is cracked or 
damaged before use. If there is any damage. 
 Do not immerse in water or cleaning solutions. Do not resterilize. 
 
For additional warnings, cautions or contraindications when using 
sensors with Nellcor-compatible device, refer to each SpO
