Check the SpO2 sensor and its package for any sign of damage before
use. Do not use the sensor if any damage is detected.
Before use, the operator must ensure the compatibilityies of the
monitor, SpO

sensor and extension cables; otherwise, this may lead to
the burning of patients; do not use damaged sensor or extension cable.
Do not soak the sensor into water or make it wet, otherwise it may be

please observe all local, state, and federal regulations that relate to
the disposal of this products or similar products.
Pulse rate measurement is based on the optical detection of a
peripheral flow pulse and therefore may not detect certain
arrhythmias. The patient monitor should not be used as a replacement
or substitute for ECG based arrhythmia analysis.
Interfering Substances: Dyes, or any substance containing dyes, that
change usual blood pigmentation may cause erroneous readings.
Hemoglobin synthesis disorders may cause erroneous SpHb readings.
Elevated levels of Total Bilirubin may lead to inaccurate SpO2, SpMet,
SpCO, SpHb, and SpOC measurements.
Motion artifact may lead to inaccurate SpMet, SpCO, SpHb, and
Severe anemia may cause erroneous SpO2 readings.
Very low arterial Oxygen Saturation (SpO2) levels may cause
inaccurate SpCO and SpMet measurements.
With very low perfusion at the monitored site, the readings may read
lower than core arterial oxygen saturation.
Do not use tape to secure the sensor to the site; this can restrict blood
flow and cause inaccurate readings. Use of additional tape can cause
skin damage or damage the sensor.
If the sensor is wrapped to tightly or supplemental tape is used,
venous congestion/pulsations may occur causing erroneous readings.
Venous congestion may cause under reading of actual arterial oxygen
saturation. Therefore, assure proper venous outflow from monitored
site. Sensor should not be below heart level (e.g. sensor on hand of a
