Handheld Pulse Oximeter (Reorder No. 36403) 7
1. INTRODUCTION (Continued)
• The Pulse Oximeter is specied for use by medical
professionals only.
• Prolonged use of the probe/sensor or the patient’s
condition may require changing the sensor site
periodically. Change the sensor site and check skin
integrity, circulatory status, and correct alignment at least
every 4 hours. Prolonged use may cause blisters, skin
deterioration, and discomfort.
• When connecting this oximeter to any instrument,
verify proper operation before clinical use. Refer to
the instrument’s user manual for full instructions. The
equipment connected to the Pulse Oximeter’s data
interface must be certied according to the respective IEC
standards, i.e., IEC950 for data processing equipment
or IEC 601-1 for medical electrical equipment. All
combinations of equipment must be in compliance with
IEC601-1-1 systems requirements.
• Sensor malfunction may cause inaccurate data, possibly
resulting in patient injury or death, so pay close attention to
the sensor and inspect it often.
• The physiological data and alarm messages displayed
on the equipment are for reference only and cannot be
directly used for diagnostic interpretation.
• Do not rely exclusively on the audible alarm system for
patient monitoring. Adjustment of alarm volume to off may
result in a hazard to the patient. Remember that alarm
settings should be customized according to different
patient situations and always keeping the patient under
close surveillance is the most reliable way for safe patient
monitoring.
