N-600x Operator's Manual
WARNING: Failure to cover the O
material in high ambient light conditions may result in inaccurate
measurements.
If patient activity presents a problem, try one or more of the following
remedies to correct the problem.
• verify the O
• move the O
XI
• use an adhesive O
contact
• use a new O
• keep the patient still, if possible
If poor perfusion affects performance, consider using the MAX-R
O M sensor; it obtains measurements from the nasal septal anterior
XI AX
ethmoid artery, an artery supplied by the internal carotid. This
O M sensor may obtain measurements when peripheral perfusion
XI AX
is relatively poor.
