Respironics 920M PLUS Operator's Manual page 8

Cautions
•
The 920M PLUS Pulse Oximeter must be able to measure the pulse
properly to obtain an accurate SpO
hindering the pulse measurement before relying on the SpO
•
Some nail polish colors (particularly dark shades) or artificial nails may
reduce light transmission and affect SpO
or artificial nails before using the 920M PLUS.
•
The 920M PLUS may not work on all patients. If you are unable to achieve
stable readings, discontinue use.
•
The 920M PLUS may misinterpret motion as good pulse quality. Minimize
patient motion as much as possible.
•
The 920M PLUS Pulse Oximeter is designed to determine the percentage
of arterial oxygen saturation of functional hemoglobin. Significant levels of
dysfunctional hemoglobin may affect the accuracy of the measurement.
•
Cardiogreen and other intravascular dyes, depending on the concentration,
may affect the accuracy of the SpO
•
Ear Clip sensors are not recommended for pediatric or neonatal use; their
accuracy of these sensors has not been established.
•
Do not immerse the 920M PLUS or Respironics sensors in liquid.
•
Do not use caustic or abrasive cleaning agents on the device or sensors.
•
The 920M PLUS Pulse Oximeter is a precision electronic instrument and
must be repaired by trained Respironics-designated personnel only.
•
Do not use different types of batteries at the same time, and do not mix
fully charged and partially charged batteries at the same time.
•
Do not remove any covers (except the battery cover) when replacing
batteries. There are no user-serviceable parts inside other than the
replaceable batteries.
•
Follow local ordinances and recycling instructions regarding disposal or
recycling of the device and device components, including batteries.
•
Batteries may leak or explode if used or disposed of improperly.
•
Remove the batteries to avoid the risk of leakage if the 920M PLUS is going
to be stored for more than one month.
•
This equipment complies with International Standard EN 60601-1-2:1993
for electromagnetic compatibility for medical electrical equipment and/or
systems. This standard is designed to provide reasonable protection against
harmful interference in a typical medical installation. However, because of
the proliferation of radio-frequency transmitting equipment and other
sources of electrical noise in healthcare and other environments (for
example cellular phones, mobile two-way radios, electrical appliances), it is
possible that high levels of such interference due to close proximity or
strength of a source may result in disruption of performance of this device.
