Dräger Primus Infinity Empowered - Applying the Durasensor DS-100 a

Instructions for use Primus Infinity Empowered SW 4.5n 163
Monitoring
– The adhesive straps must not be stretched un-
duly.
– Never use two adhesive straps as this can lead
to venous pulsation. The pulse signal might fail.
– In the presence of shock, low blood pressure,
severe vasoconstriction, major anemia, hypo-
thermia, arterial occlusion proximal to the sen-
sor and asystolia, the pulse signal may fail.
Applying the Durasensor DS-100 A
Reusable sensor for short-term monitoring of rela-
tively quiet patients weighing over 40 kg (88 lbs).
The sensor is ideally positioned on the index finger,
although any of the other fingers may be used, if re-
quired. The little finger should be used if the patient
is particularly large or obese.
z Open the clip slightly and slide the sensor onto
the finger. The tip of the finger must touch the
end of the sensor and the soft padding should
rest on the nail and tip of the finger. The lead
should be on top of the finger.
z Make sure the finger is not compressed or hurt
by the clip.
z Change the application site after not more than
4 hours in order to avoid a build-up of blood
pressure (blocked circulation).
Follow the specific instructions for use when using
other Nellcor sensors!
CAUTION
Risk of failure or inaccurate data
Avoid positioning the sensor on limbs together
with an arterial catheter, blood pressure cuff, or in-
travascular venous infusion. The pulse signal may
fail and measurements may be inaccurate.
Do not position the SpO
2 sensor where it might be
affected in this way.
CAUTION
Risk of failure or inaccurate data
Electrocautery can influence the measuring accu-
racy.
Leads and the SpO
2 sensor should be positioned
as far away from the electrocautery and its neutral
electrode as possible.
CAUTION
Risk of inaccurate data
Sensor performance may be impaired and lead to
inaccurate results if the patient moves violently.
The sensor should be positioned at a quiet/stable
site in order to reduce the risk of artifacts due to
movement.
NOTE
The displayed plethysmogram is a relative indica-
tor of the pulse amplitude. Its scale is not absolute
and it should only be used to judge the quality of
the SpO
2 measurement.
