Interfering Substances: Dyes or any substance containing
dyes that change usual blood pigmentation may cause
erroneous readings.
The pulse oximetry device should not be used as the sole
basis for medical decisions. It must be used in conjunction
with clinical signs and symptoms.
The pulse oximetry device is not an apnea monitor.
The pulse oximetry device may be used during defibrillation,
but this may affect the accuracy or availability of the
parameters and measurements.
The pulse oximetry device may be used during electrocautery,
but this may affect the accuracy or availability of the
parameters and measurements.
The pulse oximetry device should not be used for arrhythmia
analysis.
SpO is empirically calibrated in healthy adult volunteers
2
with normal levels of carboxyhemoglobin (COHb) and
methemoglobin (MetHb).
Do not adjust, repair, open, disassemble, or modify the
pulse oximetry device or accessories. Injury to personnel or
equipment damage could occur. Return the pulse oximetry
device for servicing if necessary.
Do not place the pulse oximetry device where the controls can
be changed by the patient.
Electrical shock and flammability hazard: Before cleaning,
always turn off the instrument and disconnect from any
power source.
When patients are undergoing photodynamic therapy they
may be sensitive to light sources. Pulse oximetry may be used
only under careful clinical supervision for short time periods
to minimize interference with photodynamic therapy.
Do not place the pulse oximetry device on electrical
equipment that may affect the instrument, preventing it from
working properly.
If the SpO values indicate hypoxemia, a laboratory blood
2
sample should be taken to confirm the patient's condition.
