Chapter 8: Oximetry
may cause inaccurate readings and blisters on the patient's
skin (lack of skin respiration, not heat, causes the blisters).
1. Choose a sensor to be used to monitor oximetry.
PATIENT
Adult
＞45Kg
Pediatric
15-45Kg
Neonate
＜3Kg
(for spot-check only)
2. Clean and disinfect the sensor. Use a soft cloth moistened in water or a mild
soap solution, and then wipe the sensor with isopropyl alcohol.
WARNING! Do not autoclave, ethylene oxide sterilize, or immerse the
sensors in liquid. Evidence that liquid has been allowed to
enter the monitor voids the warranty.
CAUTION! Unplug the sensor from the monitor before cleaning or
disinfecting.
NOTE! Obstructions or dirt on the sensor's red light or detector may cause
a sensor failure. Make sure there are not obstructions and the
sensor is clean.
3. Check the sensor to make sure it do not appear damaged.
WARNING! Using a damaged sensor may cause inaccurate readings,
possibly resulting in patient injury or death. Inspect each
sensor. If a sensor appears damaged, do not use it. Use another
sensor or contact your authorized repair center for help.
WARNING! Using a damaged patient cable may cause inaccurate readings,
possibly resulting in patient injury or death. Inspect the patient
cable. If the patient cable appears damaged, do not use it.
Contact your authorized repair center for help.
