This device should be used by, or on the order of, a
physician.
•
Constant attention by a qualified professional is needed
whenever a patient is under anesthesia or connected to a
ventilator. Some equipment malfunctions may pass
unnoticed in spite of the monitor alarm.
•
Always make sure that alarm limits are set and alarms
are active when monitoring a patient. Do not rely
exclusively on the audible alarm system for patient
monitoring. Adjusting the alarm volume to a low level
during patient monitoring can jeopardize the patient.
•
If the accuracy of any value display is in doubt, first
determine the patient's vital signs by alternate means
before verifying that the Air-Only Mode is working
correctly.

If the display loses patient data, it is possible that active
monitoring is not being performed. Close patient
observation or alternate monitoring devices should be
used until monitor function is restored.
•
The Air-Only Mode bypasses conventional minimum O
controls, allowing the clinician to deliver only air with no
oxygen flow. Constant surveillance of the patient's
inspired oxygen level while in Air-Only Mode should be
provided.
