This chapter contains basic information about the Nellcor™ Bedside SpO Patient Monitoring System. The monitoring system relies on unique oximetry technology and design to provide hospitals, clinicians, and caregivers accurate, timely data, which includes a number of parameters.
Patient Monitoring System is indicated for the con- tinuous non-invasive monitoring of functional oxygen saturation of arterial hemoglobin (SpO ) and pulse rate. The Nellcor™ Bedside SpO Patient Moni- toring System is intended for prescription use only with neonatal, pediatric, and adult patients, and for patients who are well or poorly perfused, in hospi- tals, hospital-type facilities, and intra-hospital transport.

WARNING: Use only Nellcor-approved pulse oximetry sensors and pulse oximetry cables when connecting to the sensor connector. Connecting any other cable or sensor influences the accuracy of sensor data, which may lead to adverse results.
Installation WARNING: Use only the Nellcor™ pulse oximetry interface cable with the monitoring system. Use of another interface cable will adversely affect performance. Caution: Follow local government ordinances and recycling instructions regarding disposal or recycling of device components, including its accessories.

Installation Connecting to Power 3.4.1 The monitoring system operates on AC power or on a charged internal battery. Prior to connecting to power, perform a safety check of the equipment. Refer- ence Periodic Safety Checks, p. 7-72. To connect the AC power cable: Ensure the AC outlet is properly grounded and supplies the specified voltage and frequency (100-240V~ 50-60 Hz).
Note: Remove the battery if the monitoring system is not likely to be used for six (6) months. Note: Covidien strongly recommends fully recharging the battery whenever the time between recharges exceeds six (6) months. Note: The monitoring system may not operate if the battery charge is critically low.
Use to ensure skin integrity, correct positioning, and adhesion of the sensor. WARNING: Do not use any other cables to extend the length of the Covidien-approved interface cable. Increasing the length will degrade signal quality and may lead to inaccurate measurements.
9-77, for details regarding sensor selection. To fully connect an Nellcor™ pulse oximetry sensor: Select an appropriate compatible Nellcor™ pulse oximetry sensor for the patient and desired application. When selecting a sensor, consider the patient's weight and activity, adequacy of perfusion, availability of sensor sites, need for sterility, and anticipated dura- tion of monitoring.
Page 34
Installation A Sensor Message occurs when the device cannot obtain an SpO level or a pulse rate. Note: If the sensor is not connected firmly, the monitoring system could lose signal from patient. Note: Physiological conditions, medical procedures, or external agents that may interfere with the monitoring system’s ability to detect and display measurements include dysfunctional hemoglobin, arterial dyes, low perfusion, dark pigment, and externally applied coloring agents, such as nail polish, dye, or pigmented cream.
These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference in a typical medical installation. WARNING: For best product performance and measurement accuracy, use only accessories supplied or recommended by Covidien. Use accessories according to their respective Directions for Use.
Operation WARNING: Do not use damaged pulse oximetry sensors. Do not use with exposed optical components. Do not immerse completely in water, solvents, or cleaning solutions, since pulse oximetry sensors and connectors are not waterproof. Do not sterilize by irradiation, steam or ethylene oxide. Refer to the cleaning instructions in the Directions for Use for reusable sensors.

Covidien representative www.covidien.com Biocompatibility Testing Biocompatibility testing has been conducted on Nellcor™ pulse oximetry sensors in compliance with ISO 10993-1, Biological Evaluation of Medical Devices, Part 1: Evaluation and Testing. The pulse oximetry sensors have passed the recommended biocompatibility testing and are therefore in compli- ance with ISO 10993-1.
10.2 The monitoring system uses pulse oximetry to measure functional oxygen sat- uration in the blood. Pulse oximetry works by applying a Nellcor™ pulse oxim- etry sensor to a pulsating arteriolar vascular bed, such as a finger or toe. The sensor contains a dual light source and a photodetector.
10.4 Some models of commercially available bench top functional testers and patient simulators can be used to verify the proper functionality of Covidien Nellcor™ monitoring systems, sensors, and cables. Reference the individual testing device's operator's manual for the procedures specific to the model of tester used.
Unique Technologies These capabilities are beyond the scope of known bench top testers. SpO measurement accuracy can only be evaluated in vivo by comparing monitoring system readings with values traceable to SaO2 measurements obtained from simultaneously sampled arterial blood using a laboratory CO-oximeter. Many functional testers and patient simulators have been designed to inter- face with the monitoring system's expected calibration curves and may be suit- able for use with monitoring systems and/or sensors.
Theory of Operations Measured versus Calculated Saturation 10.5.2 When calculating saturation from a blood gas partial pressure of oxygen (PO2), the calculated value may differ from the SpO measurement of a monitoring system. This usually occurs when saturation calculations exclude corrections for the effects of variables such as pH, temperature, the partial pressure of carbon dioxide (PCO2), and 2,3-DPG, that shift the relationship between PO2 and SpO...
SatSeconds™ Alarm Management Feature results in an increase in the dynamic averaging. If the resulting dynamic averaging time exceeds 20 seconds for SpO , the algorithm sets the pulse search bit while continuing to update SpO and pulse rate values every second. As such measurement conditions extend, the amount of data required may continue to increase.
Theory of Operations First SpO Event 10.6.1 Consider the first event. Suppose the SatSeconds alarm limit is set to 25. The patient’s SpO drops to 79% and the duration of the event is two (2) seconds before saturation again exceeds the lower alarm threshold of 85%. 6% drop below the lower alarm limit threshold x 2 second duration below the lower threshold 12 SatSeconds;...
SatSeconds™ Alarm Management Feature Second SpO Event 10.6.2 Consider the second event. Suppose the SatSeconds alarm limit is still set to 25. The patient’s SpO drops to 84% and the duration of the event is 15 seconds before saturation again exceeds the lower alarm threshold of 85%. 1% drop below the lower alarm limit threshold x15 second duration below the lower threshold 15 SatSeconds;...
Theory of Operations Third SpO Event 10.6.3 Consider the third event. Suppose the SatSeconds alarm limit is still set to 25. During this event, the patient’s SpO drops to 75%, which is 10% below the lower alarm threshold of 85%. Since the patient’s saturation does not return to a value over the lower alarm threshold within 2.5 seconds, an alarm sounds.
SatSeconds™ Alarm Management Feature The SatSeconds Safety Net 10.6.4 The SatSeconds “Safety Net” is for patients with saturation levels frequently below the limit, but not staying below the limit long enough for the SatSec- onds time setting to be reached. When three or more limit violations occur within 60 seconds, an alarm sounds even if the SatSeconds time setting has not been reached.
