pigmented cream.
 Failure to cover the OxiMax sensor site with
opaque materials in high ambient light conditions.
 Venous pulsation.
 Dysfunctional hemoglobin.
 Low perfusion.
Loss-of-pulse signal occurs for the following reasons:
 The OxiMax sensor is applied too tightly.
 Defibrillation.
 A blood pressure cuff is inflated on the same
extremity as the one with the OxiMax sensor attached.
 There is arterial occlusion proximal to the OxiMax
sensor.
 Poor peripheral perfusion.
 Loss of pulse/cardiac arrest.
To use the OxiMax sensor:
 Select an appropriate OxiMax sensor.
