11.2.2 Precautions
WARNING
z The SpO2 value might be overestimated in the presence of Hb-CO, Met-Hb or
dye dilution chemicals.
z Check if the sensor cable is in normal condition before monitoring. Do not use
the SpO2 sensor once the package or the sensor is found damaged.
z Verify sensor cable fault detection before beginning monitoring. Unplug the
SpO2 sensor cable from the connector. The screen will display the prompt
information “SPO2 SENSOR OFF” and the audible alarm is activated.
z ES (Electrosurgery) equipment wire and SpO2 cable must not be tangled up.
z Do not put the SpO2 sensor on the limb with arterial catheter or venous syringe.
z Do not perform SpO2 and NIBP measurements on the same limb
simultaneously. Obstruction of blood flow during NIBP measurements may
adversely affect the reading of the SpO2 value.
z Prolonged continuous monitoring may increase the risk of undesirable changes
in skin characteristics, such as irritation, reddening, blistering or burns. Inspect
the sensor site every two hours and move the sensor if the skin quality changes.
Change the application site every four hours. For neonates or patients with poor
peripheral blood circulation or sensitive skin, inspect the sensor site more
frequently.
