11.4.6 Accessories
If your monitor is equipped with a Nellcor SpO
2
module, use only Nellcor oximetry sensors for
SpO
2
measurements. Other sensors may cause improper pulse oximeter performance. Before use,
carefully read the directions for the sensor. When selecting a sensor, consider, the patient’s weight
and motion, the adequacy of perfusion, the available sensor sites, and the required disinfection.
Biocompatibility testing has been conducted on Nellcor sensors in compliance with ISO 10993-1,
Biological Evaluation of Medical Devices, Part 1: Evaluation and Testing. The sensors have
passed the recommended biocompatibility testing and are therefore in compliance with ISO
10993-1.
Before attempting to clean a SpO
2
sensor, read the directions for use enclosed with the sensor.
Each sensor model has cleaning instructions specific to that sensor.
WARNING
z Incorrect use of an oximetry sensor may cause damage to the patient’s muscle.
Verify the sensor site carefully according to the directions for use.
