2042480-001 C Dash 2500 Patient Monitor 12-5
NELLCOR® OXIMAX® SpO2: Procedures
Bright light sources (e.g., infrared heat lamps, bilirubin lights,
direct sunlight, operating room lights) may interfere with the
performance of the SpO
2
parameter. To prevent such
interference, cover the sensor with opaque material.
NOTES
A patient’s vital signs may vary dramatically during the use of
cardiovascular agents such as those that raise or lower blood pressure or
those that increase or decrease pulse rate.
The Dash 2500 Patient Monitor that is labeled with NELLCOR
®
Technology is
compatible only with NELLCOR
®
OxiMAX
®
sensors and NELL1 GE cable.
Software development, software validation, and Risk and Hazard Analysis
has been performed to a registered quality system.
User or patient-applied parts are latex-free.
Procedures
1. Select a sensor that is appropriate for the patient and the clinical situation.
Verify that the Monitor's patient type and sensor type match. Sensor sizing
must be correct to for the SpO
2
algorithm to function properly.
WARNING
Warning: Do not use a damaged sensor or one with exposed
electrical contacts. Do not use sensor, cables, or connectors
that appear damaged.
NOTE: To assure optimal performance, use only NELLCOR
®
sensors,
which are available from GE Medical Systems - Accessories and
Supplies or from NELLCOR or its local representative. Use only
NELLCOR
®
OXIMAX
®
sensors with PURPLE or WHITE plugs
(connectors) and NELL1 GE cables. Use of another pulse
oximetry cable will have an adverse effect on performance. Do
not attach any cable that is intended for computer use to the
sensor port. Do not connect any device other than a NELLCOR
®
OXIMAX
®
sensor to the sensor connector.
2. Connect the SpO
2
sensor to the SpO
2
extender cable. Then, connect the
SpO
2
cable to the SpO
2
port on the Monitor. (The SpO
2
cable is designed to
fit only the SpO
2
port.)
3. Following the directions for use supplied with the sensor, apply the sensor to
the patient.
