Warnings
• These sensors are for use only with compatible monitoring instruments.
Before using, referece your instrument's Instructions for Use, or the
Sensor Compatibility Sheet included with the sensors, to verify
instrument compatibility. Be sure to use sensors only with validated
instruments, otherwise patient injury may result.
• Pulse oximetry measurements are statistically distributed. 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 SpO
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 41
the skin if the initial skin temperature does not exceed 35
• Be sure to apply sensor to 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.
• Where possible, the application site for the sensor should be an
extremity free of arterial catheters, blood pressure cuffs, or intravascular
infusion lines.
• 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.
