.&.
Use only SpO2 sensors specified in this manual. Follow the SpO2
sensor's instructions for use and adhere to all warnings and cautions .
.&.
When a trend toward deoxygenation is indicated, blood samples should
be analyzed by a laboratory co-oximeter to completely understand the
person's condition .
.&.
Do not use the pulse oximeter and the SpO2 sensor during magnetic
resonance imaoino (MRI). Induced current could cause burns .
.&.
Reusable sensor must be moved to new site at least every four hours.
Because individual skin condition affects the ability of skin to tolerate
sensor placement, it may be necessary to change the sensor site more
frequently with some patients. If skin integrity changes, move the
sensor to another site .
.&.
Do not apply tape to secure the sensor in place or to tape it shut;
venous pulsations may lead to inaccurate saturation measurements .
.&.
As with electrosurgical unit, carefully route patient cabling to avoid
entanglement.
.&.
Do not use the SpO2 sensor on a limb with an intravenous infusion or
arterial catheter in place .
.&.
Do not use the SpO2 sensor on a limb where the NIBP cuff is applied.
This may result in inaccurate SpO2 reading due to blocked blood
flow during cuff inflation .
.&.
WARNING: Pulse oximetry readings and pulse signals can be affected
by certain ambient environmental conditions, sensor application
errors, and certain patient conditions. See the appropriate sections of
the manual for specific safety information .
.&.
Caution: Use only Accurate-approved sensors and extension cables.
Physiological conditions, medical procedures, or external
Note:
agents that may interfere with the 75023's ability to detect and
display measurements include:
• Dysfunctional hemoglobin
• Arterial dyes
• Low perfusion
• Dark pigment
• Externally applied coloring agents, such as nail polish, dye, or
pigmented cream.
Inaccurate measurements can be caused by:
• Incorrect application of the sensor
• Placement of the sensor on an extremity with a blood pressure cuff,
arterial catheter, or intravascular line
• Ambient light
