Accuracy Specifications - Covidien Nellcor Instrucciones De Uso

4. Use only Nellcor wraps designed for use with this sensor. Do not use tape. Use of additional
tape or various other types of wraps can cause skin damage.
5. Intravascular dyes or externally applied coloring such as nail polish, dye, or pigmented cream
may lead to inaccurate measurements.
6. Excessive motion may compromise performance. In such cases, try to keep the patient still,
or change the sensor site to one with less motion.
7 When the sensor is wrapped too tightly or supplemental tape is applied, venous pulsations
may lead to inaccurate saturation measurements.
8. As with all medical equipment, carefully route cables to reduce the possibility of patient
entanglement or strangulation.
9. Using excessive force when removing the disposable wrap may damage the sensor.
10. Do not sterilize by irradiation, steam, or ethylene oxide. Such sterilization could damage the
sensor.
11. Do not alter or modify the SpO
or accuracy.
12. For additional warnings, cautions or contraindications when using this sensor with
Nellcor-compatible instruments, refer to the instrument operator's manual or contact the
manufacturer of the instrument.
Note: High oxygen levels may predispose a premature infant to develop retinopathy. Therefore,
the upper alarm limit for oxygen saturation must be carefully selected in accord with
accepted clinical standards and considering the accuracy range of the oximeter being
used.
