SpO2 Safety Information

SpO Safety Information

Do not:
Warning
• Use damaged sensors
• Use a sensor with exposed optical components
• Immerse sensor completely in water, solvents, or cleaning solutions because the connectors and
most sensors are not waterproof.
Inspect the application site every two to three hours to ensure skin quality and correct optical
alignment. If the skin quality changes, move the sensor to another site. CHANGE THE
APPLICATION SITE AT LEAST EVERY FOUR HOURS.
Using an SpO
the cable so that no inductive loops are formed. If the sensor does not appear to be operating
properly, remove it immediately from the patient.
Sterilization is not recommended for this monitor, related products, accessories or supplies unless
otherwise indicated in the Instructions for Use that accompany the accessories and supplies.
Inaccurate measurements can be caused by the following:
• Incorrect sensor application or use
• Significant levels of dysfunctional hemoglobins (such as carboxyhemoglobin or methemoglobin)
• Injected dyes, such as methylene blue, or intravascular dyshemoglobins, such as
methemoglobin and carboxyhemoglobin
• Exposure to excessive illumination, such as surgical lamps (especially ones with a xenon light
source), bilirubin lamps, fluorescent lights, infrared heating lamps, or direct sunlight)
• Excessive patient movement
• High-frequency electrosurgical interference and defibrillators
• Venous pulsations
• Placement of a sensor on an extremity with a blood pressure cuff, arterial catheter, or
intravascular line
• The patient has hypotension, severe vasoconstriction, severe anemia, or hypothermia
• There is arterial occlusion proximal to the sensor
• The patient is in cardiac arrest or is in shock
Loss of pulse signal can occur in any of the following situations:
• The sensor is too tight
• There is excessive illuminations from light sources such as a surgical lamp, a bilirubin lamp, or
sunlight
• The blood pressure cuff is inflated on the same extremity as the one to which an SpO
attached
Caution Use only Philips recommended sensor extension cables and specified SpO
Other sensors can cause inaccurate readings. Philips' warranty agreement does not apply to defects
arising from improper use.
Do not use OxiCliq disposable sensors in a high humidity environment, such as in the presence of
fluids, which may contaminate sensor and electrical connections causing unreliable or intermittent
measurements.
