equipment to the system. When an event such as a component
drop of approximately 1 meter or greater or a spillage of blood or
other liquids occurs, retest before further use. Injury to person-
nel could occur.
• Disposal of product - Comply with local laws in the disposal of
the device and/or its accessories.
• To minimize radio interference, other electrical equipment that
emits radio frequency transmissions should not be in close pro-
ximity to the pulse co-oximeter.
• Replace the cable or sensor when a replace sensor or when a
low SIQ message is consistently displayed while monitoring con-
secutive patients after completing troubleshooting steps listed
in this manual.
Notes:
A functional tester cannot be used to assess the accuracy of the
pulse co-oximeter.
High-intensity extreme lights (such as pulsating strobe lights) di-
rected on the sensor, may not allow the pulse co-oximeter to obtain
vital sign readings.
The Desat Index alarm is intended as an adjunct alarm rather than
in place of the Low SpO2 alarm.*
When monitoring acoustic respiration, Masimo recommends mini-
mally monitoring both oxygenation (SpO2) and respiration (RRa).*
When using the Maximum Sensitivity setting, performance of the
„Sensor Off" detection may be compromised. If the device is in this
setting and the sensor becomes dislodged from the patient, the po-
tential for false readings may occur due to environmental „noise"
such as light, vibration, and excessive air movement.
Do not loop the patient cabling into a tight coil or wrap around the
device, as this can damage the patient cabling.
Additional information specific to the Masimo sensors compatible
with the pulse oximeter, including information about parameter/
measurement performance during motion and low perfusion, may
be found in the sensor's directions for use (DFU).
Cables and sensors are provided with X-Cal™ technology to mini-
mize the risk of inaccurate readings and unanticipated loss of pati-
ent monitoring. Refer to the Cable or Sensor DFU for the specified
duration of the patient monitoring time.
