Instructions For Spo Probe - Gima 35132 Manual De Uso

11.4 Instructions for SpO
Intended Use
When used with a compatible patient monitor or a pulse oximeter device, the sensor is intended to be used
for continuous, non-invasive functional arterial oxygen saturation (SpO
pediatric patients weighing between 10~40kg.
Contraindications
This sensor is contraindicated for use on active patients or for prolonged use.
Instructions for Use
1) With the upper and lower jaws open, place an index finger evenly on the base of the clip. Push the finger
tip against the stop so that it is over the sensor window . If an index finger cannot be positioned
correctly, or is not available, other fingers can be used.
2) Note: When selecting a sensor site, priority should be given to an extremity free of an arterial catheter,
blood pressure cuff, or intravascular infusion line.
3) Spread open the rear tabs of the sensor to provide even force over the length of the pads .
4) The sensor should be oriented in such a way that the cable is positioned along the top of the hand .
5) Plug the sensor into the oximeter and verify proper operation as described in the oximeter operator's
manual.
6) Inspect the monitoring site every 4 hours for skin integrity.
7) Before each use, surface-clean sensor and cable with a soft gauze pad by saturating it with a solution
such as 70% isopropyl alcohol. If low-level disinfection is required, use a 1:10 bleach solution.
Caution: Do not sterilize by irradiation steam, or ethylene oxide.
Warnings
1) Some factors may affect the accuracy of saturation measurements. Such factors include: excessive
patient motion, fingernail polish, use of intravascular dyes, excessive light, poor blood perfusion in the
finger, extreme finger sizes or improper placement of the sensor.
2) Using the sensor in the presence of bright lights may result in inaccurate measurements. In such cases,
cover the sensor site with an opaque material.
3) The sensor must be moved to a new site at least every 4 hours. Because individual skin condition affects
the ability of the skin to tolerate sensor placement, it may be necessary to change the sensor site more
frequently with some patients. If skin integrity changes, move the sensor to another site.
4) Do not apply tape to secure the sensor in place or to tape it shut; venous pulsation may lead to
inaccurate saturation measurements.
5) Do not immerse sensor as it causes short.
6) Do not use NIBP or other constructing instruments on same appendage as sensor for blood flow
interrupted by NIBP cuff or circulatory patient condition will result in no pulse found or loss of pulse.
7) Do not use the sensor or other oximetry sensors during MRI scanning.
