11.3.6 Sensors and Accessories
If your monitor is equipped with a Masimo SpO
2
module, use only Masimo oximetry sensors for
SpO
2
measurements. Other sensors may cause improper pulse oximeter performance. Before use,
carefully read the directions for the sensor. Tissue damage can be caused by incorrect application
or use of a sensor. An example is wrapping the sensor too tightly. Inspect the sensor site as
specified in the directions to ensure skin integrity, correct positioning, and adhesion of the sensor.
CAUTION
z Do not use damaged sensors. Do not use a sensor with exposed optical
components. Do not immerse the sensor in water, solvents, or cleaning solutions
(the sensors and connectors are not waterproof). Do not sterilize by irradiation,
steam, or ethylene oxide.
z Do not use damaged patient cables. Do not immerse the patient cables in water,
solvents, or cleaning solutions (the sensors and connectors are not waterproof).
Do not sterilize by irradiation, steam, or ethylene oxide.
Selecting a Masimo sensor
When selecting a sensor, consider, the patient’s weight, the adequacy of perfusion, the available
sensor sites, and the duration of monitoring. For more information contact Masimo. Use only
Masimo sensors and sensor cables. Select an appropriate sensor, apply as directed, and observe
all warnings and cautions presented in the directions for use accompanying the sensor.
High ambient light sources such as surgical lights (especially those with a xenon light source),
bilirubin lamps, fluorescent lights, infrared heating lamps, and direct sunlight can interfere with
the performance of a SpO
2
sensor. To prevent interference from ambient light, ensure that the
sensor is properly applied, and cover the sensor site with dark, opaque material, if required.
Failure to take this precaution in high ambient light conditions may result in inaccurate
measurements.
Selecting Masimo Sensor Cables
Only use Masimo oximetry patient cables for SpO
2
measurements. Other patient cables may
cause improper pulse oximeter performance.
Reusable patient cables of various lengths are available. All cables that marked by the Masimo
SET logo are designed to work with any Masimo sensor, and with any pulse oximeter or
multi-parameter instrument marked by the Masimo SET logo.
NOTE
z Carefully route patient cables to reduce the possibility of patient entanglement
or strangulation.
z If the sensor fails to track the pulse consistently, the sensors may be incorrectly
positioned. Reposition the sensor or choose a different monitoring site.
