4.1. Overview
This chapter explains how to use the INVOS™ patient monitor (the “monitoring system”) to
view and collect patient regional oxygen saturation (rSO

4.2. Safety Reminders
Warning: The monitoring system should not be used as the sole basis for diagnosis or
therapy. It is intended only as an adjunct in patient assessment. It must be used in
conjunction with clinical signs and symptoms.
Warning: Inspect the monitoring system and all accessories before use to ensure there are
no signs of physical damage or improper function. Do not use if damaged.
Warning: Explosion hazard — Do not use the monitoring system in the presence of
flammable anesthetics.
Warning: Always disconnect and remove the monitoring system and sensors during
magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scanning. Attempting to use the monitoring system
during an MRI procedure could cause burns or adversely affect the MRI image or the
monitoring system's performance.
Warning: As with all medical equipment, carefully route patient cabling to reduce the
possibility of patient entanglement or strangulation.
