Measuring Spo; Measurement Procedure - EDAN iM80 User Manual

Patient Monitor User Manual
4 Don't use the functional tester to access the SpO
5 The device is calibrated to display functional oxygen saturation.
6 The materials with which the patient or any other person can come into contact
conform with the standard of ISO10993.

10.3 Measuring SpO

1. Select the correct patient category setting (adult/pediatric and neonatal), as this is used to
optimize the calculation of the SpO
2. During measurement, ensure that the application site:
– has a pulsatile flow, ideally with a good circulation perfusion.
– has not changed in its thickness, causing an improper fit of the sensor.

10.4 Measurement Procedure

1. Switch on the monitor.
2. Attach the sensor to the appropriate site of the patient finger.
3. Plug the connector of the sensor extension cable into the SpO
Inspect the application site every two to three hours to ensure skin quality and correct
optical alignment. If the skin quality changes, move the sensor to another site. Change
the application site at least every four hours.
NOTE:
Injected dyes such as methylene blue or intravascular dyshemoglobins such as
methemoglobin and carboxyhemoglobin may lead to inaccurate measurements.
Interference can be caused by:
 High levels of ambient light or strobe lights or flashing lights (such as fire alarm lamps).
(Hint: cover application site with opaque material.)
 High-frequency electrical noise, including electro-surgical apparatus and defibrillators
