Two-thirds of all pulse oximetry measurements can be expected to fall within the stated accuracy (refer to Specifications later in this IFU for stated sensor accuracy). • Connect the sensor only to the SpO2 connection or the SpO2 adapter cable of the oximeter. • Do not reuse the sensor on a different patient until it has been disinfected. The sensor can be reused on the same patient for the patient’s entire stay. • At elevated ambient temperatures, patient skin could be severely burned after prolonged sensor application at sites that are not well perfused. To prevent this condition, be sure to check patient application sites frequently. All listed sensors operate without risk of exceeding 41o C on the skin if the initial skin temperature does not exceed 35o C. • Be sure to apply the sensor to the patient at the preferred or alternative application site, while following application instructions provided later in this document. Failure to do so can cause inaccurate measurements. • To avoid venous pulsation, obstructed circulation, pressure marks, pressure necrosis, artifacts and inaccurate measurements, make sure you are using a sensor of the correct size and that the sensor is not too tight. If the sensor is too tight, because the application site is too large or becomes too large due to edema, the excessive pressure applied may result in venous congestion distal from the application site, leading to interstitial edema and tissue ischemia. • If the sensor is applied too loose it may fall off or compromise proper alignment of sensor optics and result in inaccurate readings. 3 Warnings (cont.) • Where possible, the application site for the sensor should be an extremity free of arterial catheters, blood pressure cuffs, or intravascular infusion lines. • Avoid sites subject to excessive motion. Try to keep the patient still, or move the sensor to a site with less motion. • Dysfunctional hemoglobin or intravascular dyes can cause inaccurate measurements. • Make sure the application site for the sensor is not deeply pigmented, or deeply colored. For example, nail polish, artificial nails, dye or pigmented cream may cause inaccurate measurements. In any of these cases reposition the sensor or choose an alternative sensor for use at a different site. • Cover the sensor with opaque material under conditions of strong or excessive light (infrared lamps, OR lamps, photo therapy). Failure to do so can result in inaccurate measurements. • Protect the connector from contact with any liquid. • Inspect the sensor application site every 2 to 3 hours to ensure skin integrity, correct optical alignment, and circulation distal to the sensor site. Skin irritation or ulceration may occur if the sensor is attached to one location for too long. Move the sensor application site every 4 hours, or more often if circulation or skin integrity is compromised. If the light source is not directly opposite the light detector, reapply the sensor, or choose an alternative sensor fo...
