MASIMO SET® SpO2: Indications and Contraindications
CAUTIONS
Tissue damage can be caused by incorrect application or use
of a MASIMO
®
sensor, for example by wrapping the sensor too
tightly. Inspect the sensor site as directed in the sensor
Directions for Use to ensure skin integrity and correct
positioning and adhesion of the sensor.
Do not use damaged MASIMO
®
sensors. Do not use a MASIMO
®
sensor with exposed optical components. Do not immerse the
sensor in water, solvents, or cleaning solutions (the sensors and
connectors are not waterproof). Do not sterilize by irradiation,
steam, or ethylene oxide. See the cleaning instructions in the
directions for use for reusable MASIMO
®
sensors.
Do not use damaged patient cables. Do not immerse the
patient cables in water, solvents, or cleaning solutions (the
patient cable connectors are not waterproof). Do not sterilize
by irradiation, steam, or ethylene oxide. See the cleaning
instructions in the directions for use for reusable MASIMO
®
patient cables.
Do not use the SpO
2
function during magnetic resonance imaging
(MRI). Adverse reactions include potential burns to patients as a
result of contact with attachments heated by the MRI radio
frequency pulse, potential degradation of the magnetic resonance
image, and potential reduced accuracy of SpO
2
measurements.
Always remove oximetry devices and attachments from the MRI
environment before scanning a patient.
The use of cardio-green and other intravascular dyes at certain
concentrations may affect the accuracy of the SpO
2
measurement.
The SpO
2
function is calibrated to read functional arterial
oxygen saturation. Significant levels of dysfunctional
hemoglobins such as carboxyhemoglobin or methemoglobin
may affect the accuracy of the SpO
2
measurement.
The use of accessories, transducers, and cables other than
those specified may result in increased emission and/or
decreased immunity and inaccurate readings of the Monitor.
As with any clip-on sensor, pressure is exerted. The clinician
should be cautious in using a clip-on sensor on patients with
compromised circulation (e.g., because of peripheral vascular
disease or vasoconstricting medications).
Do not perform any testing or maintenance on a sensor while it
is being used to monitor a patient.
Bright light sources (e.g., infrared heat lamps, bilirubin lights,
direct sunlight, operating room lights) may interfere with the
performance of the SpO
2
function. To prevent such
interference, cover the sensor with opaque material.
