Warnings
• These sensors are for use only with compatible monitoring instruments.
Before using, reference your instrument's Instructions for Use, or the
Sensor & Instrument Compatibility Sheet shipped with each sensor, to
verify instrument compatibility. Be sure to use sensors only with
validated instruments, otherwise patient injury may result.
• Unapplied sensors might cause readings. To avoid misdiagnosis, verify
sensor is applied to patient correctly.
• Pulse oximetry measurements are statistically distributed. Two-thirds of
all pulse oximetry measurements can be expected to fall within the
stated accuracy (refer to Specifications later in this IFU, or the Sensor &
Instrument Compatibility Sheet for stated sensor accuracy).
• Connect the sensor only to the SpO
cable of the oximeter.
• Do not reuse the sensor on a different patient until it has been
disinfected. The sensor can be reused on the same patient for the
patient's entire stay.
• At elevated ambient temperatures, patient skin could be severely burned
after prolonged sensor application at sites that are not well perfused. To
prevent this condition, be sure to check patient application sites
frequently. All listed sensors operate without risk of exceeding 41
the skin if the initial skin temperature does not exceed 35
• Be sure to apply the sensor correctly at the preferred application site,
following instructions provided later in this document (refer to Applying
the Sensor). Failure to do so can cause inaccurate measurements.
• To avoid venous pulsation, obstructed circulation, pressure marks,
pressure necrosis, artifacts and inaccurate measurements, make sure you
are using a sensor of the correct size and that the sensor is not too tight.
If the sensor is too tight, because the application site is too large or
becomes too large due to edema, excessive pressure may be applied.
This can result in venous congestion distal from the application site,
leading to interstitial edema and tissue ischemia.
