Monitoring SpO2
WARNING
DATA VALIDITY—Do not expose sensor detector to strong
ambient light while monitoring a patient. A poor signal may result.
WARNING
DATA VALIDITY —Do not allow tape to block the sensor
photodetectors.
WARNING
PATIENT SAFETY—Prolonged monitoring may require changing
the sensor site periodically. Move the sensor if there is any sign of
skin irritation or impaired circulation. Change the sensor site at least
every four hours to prevent ischemic skin necrosis. Be particularly
careful when monitoring neonates. If required, reduce the
application periods to half the times recommended above. If a sensor
is damaged in any way, discontinue use immediately.
WARNING
APNEA —A pulse oximeter should NOT be used as an apnea “no
breath” monitor.
WARNING
CABLES—Route all cables away from the patient’s throat to avoid
possible strangulation.
WARNING
EARLY WARNING—A pulse oximeter should be considered an
early warning device. As a trend toward patient deoxygenation is
indicated, blood samples should be analyzed by a laboratory co-
oximeter to completely understand the patient’s condition.
WARNING
EXPLOSION HAZARD—Do not monitor SpO
2
in the presence of
flammable anesthetics or other flammable substance in combination
with air, oxygen-enriched environments, or nitrous oxide.
