OXIMAX Sensor Performance Considerations

N-600x Operator's Manual
Anemia causes decreased arterial oxygen content. Although SpO
readings may appear normal, an anemic patient may be hypoxic.
Correcting anemia can improve arterial oxygen content. The monitor
may fail to provide an SpO
The N-600x displays saturation levels between 1 and 100%.
The N-600x only displays pulse rates between 20 and 250 bpm.
Detected pulse rates above 250 bpm are displayed as 250. Detected
pulse rates below 20 are displayed as 0.
WARNING: Pulse oximetry readings and pulse signal can be
affected by certain ambient conditions, O
errors, and certain patient conditions.
WARNING: Tissue damage can be caused by incorrect
application or inappropriate duration of use of an SpO
sensor. Inspect the O M
XI
sensor directions for use.
Warning: Use only Nellcor-approved O
oximetry cables.
