features high precision and
repeatability.
Precautions for
use
1 Do not use the pulse oximeter in
an MRI or CT environment
2 Do not use the pulse oximeter in
situations where alarms are requi red. The
device has no alarms.
3 Explosion hazard: Do not use the
pulse oximeter in an explosive atmosphere.
4 The pulse oximeter is intended
only as an adjunct in pat ient assessment. It
must be used in conjunction with
other methods of assessing clinical signs and
symptoms.
5 Check the pulse oximeter sensor
applica tion site frequently to determine the
position ing of the sensor and
circulation and skin sensitivity of the patient.
6 Do not stre tch the adhe sive t
ape w hile apply ing the pu lse oxim eter sen sor. This
may cause inaccurate readings or
skin blisters.
7 Before use, carefully read the
manual.
8 The pulse oximeter has no SPO2
alarms; it is not for continuous monitoring.
9 Prolonged use or the pat’ie nt s
condition may require changing the sen sor site
correct alignment at least
every 4 hours.
*0 Inaccurate mea surements
may be cau sed by autoclaving, ethy lene oxide
sterilizing, or immersing the
sensors in liq uid.
*1 Significant levels of
dysfunctional hemoglobins (such as carb onxy-
hemoglobin
or methemoglobin) may cau se
inaccurate readings.
*2 Intravascular dyes such as
i ndocyanine green or methylene blue.
*3 SPO2 mea surements may be
adversely affected in the presence of high
ambient light. Shield the sen
sor area (wit h a surgical towel, or direct sunlight,
for example) if
necessary.
*4 Excessive patient movement
may cause inaccurate readings.
*5 Venous pulsations may cause
inaccurate readings.
*6 High-frequency
electrosurgical interference may cau se inaccurate
readings.
*7 Placement of a sensor on an
extremity with a blood pressure cuff , arterial
catheter, or intravascular
line.
*8 The patient has
hypotension, severe vasoconstriction, severe anemia,
or
hypothermia.
*9 The patient is in cardiac
arre st or is in shock.
*0 Fingernail polish or false
fingernails may cause inaccurate SPO2 readings.
Follow local ordinances and
recycling instructions regarding diSPOsal or
recycling of the device and
device components, including batteries.
