SpHct is NOT reliable in cases of abnormal blood composition and is not
indicative of disease states. Abnormal values of SpHct that are displayed
should warrant repeat testing by conventional laboratory methods.
High intensity extreme lights (including pulsating strobe lights and direct
sunlight) directed on the sensor, may not allow the Pronto-7 to obtain
readings.
As with all medical equipment, carefully route patient cabling to reduce the
possibility of patient entanglement or strangulation.
Do not place the Pronto-7 or accessories in any position that might cause it to
fall on the patient. Do not lift the Pronto-7 by the cable or sensor.
Ensure the sensor is physically intact, with no broken or frayed wires or
damaged parts. Visually inspect the sensor and discard if cracks or
discoloration are found.
Interfering Substances: Dyes, or any substance containing dyes, that change
usual blood pigmentation may cause erroneous readings.
Do not use the Pronto-7 or sensor during magnetic resonance imaging (MRI)
scanning. Induced current could potentially cause burns. The Pronto-7 may
affect the MRI image and the MRI device may affect the accuracy of the Pulse
CO-Oximetry parameters and measurements.
Do not use the Pronto-7 during electrocautery.
Do not use the Pronto-7 or sensor during defibrillation.
Do not place the Pronto-7 where the controls can be changed by the patient.
