oxygen saturation can be obtained through testing the absorbed light during pulsation.
Plethysmogram wave and pulse rate signal can be also provided during pulsation testing.
The sensor contains LEDs that emit red light at a wavelength of approximately 660 nm and
infrared light at a wavelength of approximately 900 nm. Information about wavelength range can
be especially useful to clinicians.
The F9 Express monitor is compatible with the SpO
2
transducers supplied by EDAN only. The
SpO
2
transducer manufactured by EDAN can only be used with the F9 Express monitor.
Compatibility should be checked prior to use. Otherwise the monitor performance can be
degraded.
They have been tested and found to comply with the limits for medical device in
IEC/EN60601-1-2 (International standard for EMC testing of Medical Electrical Equipment,
second edition). These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful
interference in typical medical installation.
WARNING
1 Before monitoring, check whether the sensor cable is normal. If any sign of damage in
the SpO
2
sensor is detected, do not use the sensor. Return it to the manufacturer for
service.
2 Do not put the SpO
2
sensor on the extremities with arterial catheter or venous syringe.
3 Do not perform SpO
2
measuring and NIBP measuring on the same arm at one time,
because obstruction of blood flow during NIBP measuring may adversely affect the
reading of SpO
2
numeric.
4 Prolonged and continuous monitoring may increase jeopardy of unexpected change
of dermal condition such as abnormal sensitivity, rubescence, vesicle, repressive
putrescence, and so on. It is especially important to check the sensor placement of
neonate and patient of poor perfusion or immature dermogram by light collimation and
proper attaching strictly according to changes of the skin.
5 The maximum application time of the SpO
2
sensor at a single site is 4 hours. Check
per 2 ~ 3 hours the sensor placement and move it when the skin deteriorates. More
frequent examinations may be required for different patients.
