⇒ Avoid strong movement of the pulse oximetry sensor. If
necessary: To relieve strain, loop the pulse oximetry sensor
cable and the pulse oximetry sensor connecting cable and fix to
the patient with a plaster.
⇒ Do not attach the pulse oximetry sensor to a limb on which
there is already an NIBP sleeve or catheter port.
⇒ Keep the pulse oximetry sensor away from nail polish and
artificial fingernails.
⇒ Keep the pulse oximetry sensor away from intravascular dyes.
⇒ Beware inaccurate readings in the case of elevated levels of
dysfunctional hemoglobins.
⇒ Note deviations from the measurement result in the case of
serious anemia, venous pulsation and high total bilirubin
values.
⇒ Note deviations from the pulse rate with an intra-aortic balloon
pump or certain arrhythmias.
If necessary: Compare the pulse rate with the heart rate
determined by ECG monitoring.
⇒ Note deviations from the measurement result during
defibrillation.
⇒ Only use undamaged pulse oximetry sensors.
⇒ Only use the pulse oximetry sensors and pulse oximetry sensor
connecting cables contained in the scope of supply and
mentioned in the accessories.
2.1.7 Non-invasive blood pressure (NIBP) monitoring
Warning Risk of injury due to incorrect NIBP cuff!
An incorrectly selected or used NIBP cuff can lead to patient
injuries.
⇒ Attach the NIBP cuff so that the blood supply is not stopped.
⇒ Do not attach the NIBP cuff to a limb with an intravenous
infusion.
⇒ Do not attach the NIBP cuff to a limb with a shunt.
⇒ Do not attach the NIBP cuff to a limb with open wounds or
burns.
⇒ In the case of patients who have undergone a mastectomy, do
not attach the NIBP cuff to the affected side. In the case of
patients who have undergone double mastectomies, attach
the NIBP cuff to the non-dominant arm.
⇒ Do not attach the NIBP cuff to a limb with poor circulation.
