10.1 Introduction 10.2 Safety Information Continuous use of fingertip SpO sensors may result in discomfort or pain, especially for those patients with microcirculatory problems. The sensor should NOT be applied to the same site for over two hours, please inspect the monitoring site every 1-2 hours for skin integrity, and change the measuring site periodically if necessary.
Page 91
Excessive ambient light may also affect the measurements. The light sources include fluorescent lamps, dual ruby light, infrared heater, and direct sunlight. As the SpO value serves as a reference value for judgment of anemic anoxia and toxic anoxia, the measurement result of some patients with acute anemia may also present as good SpO value.
A clinical study for SpO measurement accuracy was completed on human subjects according to Standard ISO 80601-2-61. A functional tester or SpO simulator cannot be used to assess the accuracy of the oximeter or a SpO sensor. However, it can be used to check how accurately a particular oximeter is reproducing the given calibration curve.
