Verifying Operation; Cleaning The Pulse Oximeter - Respironics 920 Instruction And Service Manual

3. Verifying Operation

•
The 920 must be able to measure the
CAUTION
pulse properly to obtain accurate SpO
measurement. Verify that nothing is
hindering the pulse measurement
before relying on the SpO
measurement.
Verify that the sensor is properly positioned. Ensure the system is
sensing adequate perfusion by observing that the
indicator is blinking green, and the blinking is correlated to the pulse
rate for 10 seconds. Should the perfusion light be red or yellow or
flashing erratically, reposition the sensor or try a different sensor.

4. Cleaning the Pulse Oximeter

•
Do not immerse the 920 in liquid to
CAUTION
clean.
•
Do not use caustic or abrasive
cleaning agents.
The 920 Pulse Oximeter may be cleaned with a mild detergent and
a soft cloth or with an isopropyl alcohol wipe. Allow enough time for
the 920 to dry thoroughly before reusing.
