the device's ability to measure the patient's SpO

limited to: Dysfunctional hemoglobin, arterial dyes,
low perfusion, or darkly pigmented skin. If you are
not sure if any of these apply to you, contact your
clinician.
• Cables connect the sensor to the monitoring
system. Cables also connect the monitoring system
to the power outlet. Be sure to place all cables
carefully to lower the risk of strangulation or
tripping.
