Pulse Oximeter - ZOLL Propaq MD Operator's Manual

the patient during pacing administration, to insure capture retention. Do not leave the patient
unattended when administering external pacing therapy.
Warning! This device can only be used for external pacing of patients and cannot be used for
internal pacing. Do not connect internal pacing lead wires to the Propaq MD defibrillator.

Pulse Oximeter

Keep the ZOLL finger probe clean and dry.
SpO measurements may be affected by certain patient conditions: severe right heart failure,
2
tricuspid regurgitation or obstructed venous return.
SpO measurements may be affected when using intravascular dyes, in extreme
2
vasoconstriction or hypovolemia or under conditions where there is no pulsating arterial
vascular bed.
SpO measurements may be affected in the presence of strong EMI fields, electrosurgical
2
devices, IR lamps, bright lights, improperly applied sensors; the use of non-ZOLL sensors, or
damaged sensors; in patients with smoke inhalation, or carbon monoxide poisoning, or with
patient movement.
Tissue damage can result if sensors are applied incorrectly, or left in the same location for an
extended period of time. Move sensor every 4 hours to reduce possibility of tissue damage.
Do not use any oximetry sensors during MRI scanning. MRI procedures can cause conducted
current to flow through the sensors, causing patient burns.
Do not apply SpO
when the arterial circulation is cut off during NIBP measurements, and may affect SpO
measurements.
In some instances, such as obstructed airway, the patient's breathing attempts may not produce
any air exchange. These breathing attempts can still produce chest size changes, creating
impedance changes, which can be detected by the respiration detector. It is best to use the pulse
oximeter whenever monitoring respirations, to accurately depict the patient's respiratory
condition.
