Safety Information
WARNING
The OxiMax pulse oximetry sensor extrapolates from the date and time provided by
the Nellcor OxiMax N-600x pulse oximeter when recording the sensor event record to
the sensor. The accuracy of the date/time is determined by the date/time setting of the
pulse oximeter. Set the pulse oximeter date and time to the correct value before
connecting a record-enabled sensor to keep the date and time consistent for as long as
the sensor remains connected. Since a sensor with sensor event record data can be
transported from one oximeter to another, having discrepancies in the date/time
between oximeters and the sensor event record data will affect the order in which the
sensor event record data appear. To eliminate this potential problem, set all oximeters
within an institution to the same time.
WARNING
Explosion hazard—Do not use the OxiMax N-600x pulse oximeter in the presence of
flammable anesthetics.
WARNING
Do not spray, pour, or spill any liquid on the OxiMax N-600x pulse oximeter, its
accessories, connectors, switches, or openings in the chassis, since this may cause
damage to the oximeter.
WARNING
Supplemental oxygen will attenuate patterns of desaturation. A patient's respiratory
compromise can be proportionally more severe before patterns appear in the
saturation trend. Remain vigilant when monitoring a patient on supplemental oxygen.
WARNING
The LCD panel contains toxic chemicals. Do not touch broken LCD panels. Physical
contact with a broken LCD panel can result in transmission or ingestion of toxic
substances.
WARNING
Do not silence or decrease the volume of the OxiMax N-600x pulse oximeter's audible
alarm if patient safety could be compromised.
WARNING
Failure to cover the OxiMax pulse oximetry sensor site with opaque material in high
ambient light conditions may result in inaccurate measurements. Pulse oximetry
readings and pulse signals can be affected by certain environmental conditions,
OxiMax pulse oximetry sensor application errors, and certain patient conditions. See
the appropriate sections of this manual for specific safety information.
WARNING
The use of accessories, sensors, and cables other than those specified may result in
inaccurate readings of the OxiMax N-600x pulse oximeter and increased emission and/
or decreased electromagnetic immunity of the oximeter.
