Mindray datascope duo Operating Instructions

Introduction Precautions
vi 0070-10-0603-01 Duo™ Operating Instructions
CAUTION: Inaccurate SpO
2
measurements may be caused by:
• incorrect sensor application or use
• significant levels of dysfunctional hemoglobins, (e.g.,
carboxyhemoglobin or methemoglobin)
• intra-vascular dyes such as indocyanine green or
methylene blue
• exposure to excessive illumination such as surgical
lamps (especially ones with a xenon light source),
bilirubin lamps, fluorescent lights, infrared heating
lamps, or excessive ambient light. In such cases, cover
the sensor site with opaque material.
• excessive patient movement
• venous pulsations
• electro-surgical interference
• placement of a sensor on an extremity that has a blood
pressure cuff, arterial catheter or intra-vascular line.
• nail polish or fungus
CAUTION: In certain situations in which perfusion and signal strength
are low, such as in patients with thick or pigmented skin,
inaccurately low SpO
2
readings will result. Verification of
oxygenation should be made, especially in patients with
chronic lung disease, before instituting any therapy or
intervention.
CAUTION: Many patients suffer from poor peripheral perfusion due to
hypothermia, hypovolemia, severe vasoconstriction,
reduced cardiac output, etc. These symptoms may cause a
loss in vital sign readings.
CAUTION: If the SpO
2
sensor or patient cable are damaged in any
way, discontinue use immediately. To prevent damage, do
not soak or immerse the sensor in any liquid solution. Do
not attempt to sterilize.
CAUTION: When applying the SpO
2
sensor to the patient, ensure
proper positioning, alignment and skin integrity. Exercise
extreme caution with poorly perfused patients.
CAUTION: When equipped with Masimo SpO
2
, use only Masimo
oxygen sensors and cables. Use of other oxygen sensors
may cause improper oximeter performance.
CAUTION: When equipped with Nellcor SpO
2
, use only Nellcor oxygen
sensors and cables. Use of other oxygen sensors may cause
improper oximeter performance.
CAUTION: Use only Mindray DS blood pressure cuffs and hoses with
the Duo.
