sensor on patient during magnetic resonance
imaging (MRI). Adverse reactions include potential burns to patients as a
result of contact with attachments heated by the MRI radio frequency
pulse, potential degradation of the magnetic resonance image, and
potential reduced accuracy of SpO

Placing a sensor distal to an arterial line may interfere with adequate
arterial pulsation and compromise the measurement of SpO

The sensor disconnect error message and associated alarm indicate
that the sensor is either disconnected or the wiring is faulty. The user
should check the sensor connection and, if necessary, replace the
sensor, interconnect cable, or both.

Placing a sensor on a polished or an artificial nail may affect accuracy.
Patient safety:
Do not place any clip-on sensor in a patient’s mouth, on their nose or
toes, on their thumb, or across a child’s foot or hand.
toes, on their thumb, or across a child’s foot or hand.
Prolonged monitoring or incorrect sensor application can cause skin
irritation or impaired circulation. Observe the sensor site frequently to
assure adequate distal circulation. Sensor sites should be checked at
least every 2 hours and rotated at least every 4 hours. Refer to
instructions supplied with sensor.

instructions supplied with sensor.
If the sensor is not applied properly, the patient’s skin could be injured or
the ability of the monitor to measure oxygen saturation could be
compromised. For example, a clip-on sensor should never be taped
shut. Taping the sensor could damage the patient’s skin or impair the
venous return, thus causing venous pulsation and inaccurate
measurement of oxygen saturation.

Excessive pressure from the sensor may cause necrosis of the skin.
The operating range for respiration rate is 4 to 40 breaths per minute.
Use on patients with respiration rates outside this range may result in
inaccurate displayed respiration rate values.
