Masimo Corporation 14 www.masimo.com
• Items applied directly to the skin may cause skin irritation, pressure injury, or general
discomfort. Periodically check the area where the Stork Sensor is applied to prevent
potential irritations.
• As with all types of alarms, there is always a risk of missing or not hearing an alarm.
To minimize this risk, ensure the Stork Camera is placed where it can be heard, and
the speaker is not blocked by other objects.
• As with all types of alarms, there is always a risk of false alarms. To minimize false
alarms, ensure you follow all device and Stork Sensor directions, and follow
troubleshooting instructions. Never assume an alarm is false; promptly address every
alarm.
