O M Sensor Performance Considerations
XI AX
N-595
WARNING: Pulse oximetry readings and pulse signal can be
affected by certain ambient conditions, O
application errors, and certain patient conditions.
WARNING: Tissue damage can be caused by incorrect
application or inappropriate duration of use of an SpO
sensor. Inspect the O
sensor directions for use.
Warning: Use only Nellcor-approved O
oximetry cables.
Inaccurate measurements can be caused by:
• incorrect application of the O
• placement of the O
blood pressure cuff, arterial catheter, or intravascular line
• ambient light
• prolonged and/or excessive patient movement
• intravascular dyes or externally applied coloring, such as
nail polish or pigmented cream
• failure to cover the O
material in high ambient light conditions
Loss-of-pulse signal can occur for the following reasons:
• the O M
