6.2 Safety Information
Warning :
Use only SpO2 sensors specified in this manual. Follow
the SpO2 sensor’s instructions for use and adhere to
all warnings and cautions.
When a trend toward patient deoxygenation is
indicated, blood samples should be analyzed by a
laboratory co-oximeter to completely understand the
patient’s conditions.
Do not use the monitor and the SpO2 sensor during
magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). Induced current
could cause burns.
Prolonged continuous monitoring may increase the
risk of unexpected changes in skin characteristics,
such as irritation, reddening, blistering or burns.
Inspect the sensor site every two hours and move the
sensor if the skin quality changes. For neonates, or
patients with poor peripheral blood circulation or
sensitive skin, inspect the sensor site more frequently.
Measurements and pulse signals can be affected by
certain environmental conditions, sensor application
