environment.
- Do not use this device in situations requiring the presence of an alarm. The device is not fitted
with an alarm and is not designed for continuous monitoring.

Inaccurate readings may result from :
- Nail-varnish (colorimetric interference) or artificial nails
- High levels of dysfunctional hemoglobin (carboxyhemoglobin or methemoglobin)
- Intravascular dyes (indocyanine green or methylene blue)
- Bright light. If necessary, protect the sensor positioning area
- Excessive movement of the patient
- Defibrillators and interference from high-frequency electrosurgical devices
- Venous pulse
- Placing the sensor on a patient with a blood-pressure cuff, an arterial or intravascular catheter
- High blood pressure, severe vasoconstriction, acute anemia or hypothermia
- Heart failure or stress
- Poor pulse quality (low perfusion)
- Low level of hemoglobin.
