2042480-001 C Dash 2500 Patient Monitor 13-7
MASIMO SET® SpO2: Indications and Contraindications
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 MASIMO SET
®
Technology is compatible only with MASIMO SET
®
sensors.
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
Do not use a damaged sensor or one with exposed electrical
contacts.
NOTE: To assure optimal performance, use only MASIMO SET
®
sensors,
which are available from GE Medical Systems - Accessories and
Supplies.
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.
WARNINGS
Patient safety:
If you fail to apply the sensor properly, the patient’s skin could
be injured or the ability of the SpO
2
parameter to measure
oxygen saturation could be compromised. For example, a clip-
on sensor should never be taped shut. Taping the sensor could
damage the patient’s skin or impair the venous return, thus
causing venous pulsation and inaccurate measurement of
oxygen saturation.
Excessive pressure from the sensor may cause necrosis of the
skin.
Parameter performance:
When an SpO
2
sensor is on a limb that has a blood pressure
cuff, the SpO
2
data will not be valid when the cuff is inflated. If
SpO
2
readings are required during the entire blood pressure
determination, attach the SpO
2
sensor to the limb opposite the
one with the blood pressure cuff.
