3 Prolonged and continuous monitoring may increase jeopardy of unexpected change
of dermal condition such as abnormal sensitivity, rubescence, vesicle, repressive
putrescence, and so on. It is especially important to check the sensor placement of
neonate and patient of poor perfusion or immature dermogram by light collimation and
proper attaching strictly according to changes of the skin.
4 The maximum application time of the SpO
the sensor placement every 2 to 3 hours and move it when the skin deteriorates.
More frequent examinations may be required for different patients.
5 Setting the SpO
higher limit. High oxygen levels may predispose a premature infant to retrolental
fibroplasia. Therefore, the higher alarm limit for oxygen saturation must be carefully
selected in accordance with commonly accepted clinical practices.
Compatibility between the monitor and transducer should be verified before use to avoid
injuring the patient or operator.
NOTE:
1 The monitor is calibrated to display functional oxygen saturation.
2 A functional tester cannot be used to assess the accuracy of the SpO
the monitor.
3 If there is independent demonstration that the particular calibration curve is accurate
for the combination of a pulse oximeter monitor and a pulse oximeter transducer, then
a functional tester can measure the contribution of a monitor to the total error of a
monitor/ transducer system. The functional tester can then measure how accurately a
particular pulse oximeter monitor is reproducing that calibration curve.
4 The device has no alarm condition delay and alarm signal generation delay.
Measurement Limits -
In operation, the accuracy of oximetry readings can be affected by:
1) Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scanning. Induced current could potentially cause burns.
2) Excessive patient movement.
3) Low perfusion.
4) High-frequency electrical noise, including noise created by the host system, or noise from
external sources, such as electrosurgical apparatus, which is admitted by the host system.
