sample should be performed.
• A functional tester cannot be utilized to assess the accuracy of the oximeter or any sensors.
• Elevated levels of methemoglobin (MetHb) will lead to inaccurate SpO
2
and SpCO
measurements.
• Elevated levels of carboxyhemoglobin (COHb) will lead to inaccurate SpO
2
measurements.
• Elevated levels of total bilurubin may lead to inaccurate SpO
2
, SpMet, SpCO and SpHb
measurements.
• Very low arterial oxygen saturation (SpO
2
) levels may cause inaccurate SpCO and SpMet
measurements.
• Severe anemia may cause erroneous SpO
2
readings
• Hemoglobin synthesis disorders may cause erroneous SpHb readings.
• If using oximetry during full body irradiation, keep the sensor out of the radiation field. If the
sensor is exposed to the radiation, the reading might be inaccurate or the device might read zero
for the duration of the active radiation period.
• Additional information specification to Masimo sensors, including information about
parameter/measurement performance during motion and low perfusion, may be found in the
sensor’s Directions for Use (DFU)
• The oximeter may not be operated in the vicinity of ionising (radioactive) radiation, as this may
falsify the readings.
capOne capnometer, Nihon Kohden
• The capnometer in the corpuls
3
is an additional function for intensive monitoring.
Consequently, the vital parameters and clinical symptoms must be monitored during use of the
capnometer on the patient.
• The sensor may only be used in conjunction with the approved CO
2
airway adapters (see
chapter 9.8 Approved Accessories, Spare Parts and Consumables, p. 224).
• Do not use damaged sensors, e.g. sensors with exposed electrical contacts.
Non-invasive blood pressure monitoring
• Avoid squeezing or reducing the diameter of the pressure hose to the cuff.
• When using the device for a longer time, check the limb of the patient on which non-invasive
blood pressure monitoring is performed for impairment of the blood circulation.
• When selecting the initial pressure, care should be taken that it is markedly above (approx. 30
mmHg) the expected systolic blood pressure. In case of doubt, a somewhat higher initial
pressure is preferred.
Invasive blood pressure monitoring
• Monitoring with two or more transducers: if two or more blood pressure transducers are
connected to the corpuls
3
for monitoring, these must all be connected to the patient. If one of
the transducers is not connected to the patient and lies open or hangs free, this may provide
unintended current paths during defibrillation. Use transducers with specified isolation (5 kV DC).
• Carefully read and follow the operating instructions of the transducers you are using.
• If non-invasive blood pressure monitoring is also performed on the same limb during invasive
blood pressure monitoring, the non-invasive monitoring will negatively affect the measurement
results of the invasive measurement.
• Per connection socket at the patient box two transducer ports are merged. These are not
isolated from each other (P1 and P2, P3 and P4).
• Invasive blood pressure measurement is not protected against high frequency surgical devices
or microwave therapy devices.
Temperature measurement
• Carefully read and follow the operating instructions of the temperature sensor that you are using.
