Description
WARNING
As with any wrap or clip-on sensor, pressure is exerted. Be cautious in 
using a wrap or clip-on sensor on patients with compromised 
circulation (e.g., peripheral vascular disease or vasoconstricting 
medications).
Allow sensor and cable to dry completely after cleaning. Moisture and 
dirt on the connector can affect the measurement accuracy.
Inaccurate SpO
2
 data can result if a sensor is past its useful life. 
Therefore, re-evaluate the measurement periodically by performing 
additional assessment of the patient equipment, including 
consideration of use of alternate monitoring methods such as direct 
measurement of arterial oxyhemoglobin saturation (SaO
2
).
If the accuracy of any measurement does not seem reasonable, first 
check the patient’s vital signs, then check for conditions that may cause 
inaccurate SpO
2
 readings. If the problem is still not resolved, check the 
SpO
2
 module or sensor for proper functioning.
Oximetry performance may be impaired when patient perfusion is low 
(less than 0.3%) or signal attenuation is high.
A pulse oximeter or CO-oximeter should not be used as an apnea 
monitor.
A pulse oximeter should be considered an early warning device. As a 
trend toward patient deoxygenation is indicated, blood samples should 
be analyzed by a laboratory CO-oximeter to completely understand the 
patient's condition. Check that the pulse oximetry waveform is 
physiological in shape to ensure waveform quality and minimize noise 
spikes caused by motion conditions.
If you deactivate the SpO2 Sensor Off alarm, keep the patient under 
close surveillance.
Single-use products are not designed to be reused. Reuse may cause a 
risk of cross-contamination, affect the measurement accuracy and/or 
system performance, and cause a malfunction as a result of the 
product being physically damaged due to cleaning, disinfection, re-
sterilization and/or reuse.
Clean the surface of the probe before and after each patient use.
Do not loop the sensor cable into a tight coil or wrap around the device, 
as this can damage the sensor cable.
