Nellcor Patient Cables and Sensors
The Nellcor patient cables interface the SpO
2
module with the patient sensors.
When selecting a sensor, consider the patient’s weight, the adequacy o
f perfusion, the available sensor
sites, and the duration of monitoring. Use only
Nellcor sensors. Select an appropriate sensor, apply it as
directed, and observe all warnings and cautions presented in the user manual accompanying the sensor.
For a list of compatible sensors and cables, refer to the Monitor Sensor Compatibility Card

SpO
2
Module 8210 Series.
WARNING
• Inspect the SpO
2
module sensor site regularly to ensure correct sensor positioning,
application, and site integrity. Tissue damage could occur over prolonged time
periods, depending on the patient profile (such as neonates) and method of
application. Refer to the sensor instructions for additional information.
• Do not use a sensor, cable, or connector that appears damaged. Do not use a sensor
with exposed optical components.
• The sensor disconnect error message and associated alarm indicate the sensor is
either disconnected or the wiring is faulty. Check the sensor connection and, if
necessary, replace the sensor.
• Model 8210:
• Use only approved Nellcor sensors and pulse oximetry cables.
• Model 8220:
• Use only approved Masimo sensors and patient cables.
• Use of sensors, transducers, cables, and accessories other than those specified
ca
n cause improper SpO
2
module performance resulting in inaccurate readings,
increased emission, and/or decreased immunity, and degraded electromagnetic
compatibility performance of the SpO
2
module.
• Carefully route patient cabling to reduce the possibility of patient entanglement or
strangulation.
• Before use, read the sensor user manual, including all warnings, cautions, and
instructions.
CAUTION
CAUTION
• Do not immerse or dampen the sensor or cable. Clean per manufacturer’s instructions.
• The system is not intended for use with high frequency surgical equipment.
