NELLCOR® OXIMAX® SpO2: Indications and Contraindications
The SpO parameter is indicated for use in continuous, noninvasive monitoring
2
of functional oxygen saturation and in providing pulse rate data as a
component of the Dash 2500 Patient Monitor. This device is not designed, sold,
or intended for use except as indicated.
WARNINGS
Do not use the SpO
imaging (MRI). Adverse reactions include potential burns to
patients as a result of contact with attachments heated by the MRI
radio frequency pulse, potential degradation of the magnetic
resonance image, and potential reduced accuracy of SpO
measurements. Always remove oximetry devices and
attachments from the MRI environment before scanning a patient.
The use of cardio-green and other intravascular dyes at certain
concentrations may affect the accuracy of the SpO
measurement.
The SpO
oxygen saturation. Significant levels of dysfunctional
hemoglobins such as carboxyhemoglobin or methemoglobin
may affect the accuracy of the SpO
As with all medical equipment, carefully route patient cabling to
reduce the possibility of patient entanglement or strangulation.
Pulse oximetry readings and pulse signals can be affected by
certain environmental conditions, sensor application errors,
and certain patient conditions. See the appropriate sections of
this manual for specific safety information.
The use of accessories, transducers, and cables other than
those specified may result in increased emission and/or
decreased immunity and inaccurate readings of the Monitor.
A functional tester cannot be used to assess the accuracy of a
pulse oximeter probe or a pulse oximeter monitor.
CAUTIONS
As with any clip-on sensor, pressure is exerted. The clinician
should be cautious in using a clip-on sensor on patients with
compromised circulation (e.g., because of peripheral vascular
disease or vasoconstricting medications).
Do not perform any testing or maintenance on a sensor while it
is being used to monitor a patient.
