Excessive patient movement may cause inaccurate measurements.
Venous pulsations may cause inaccurate measurements.
Carboxyhemoglobin may erroneously increase readings. The level of increase is
approximately equal to the amount of carboxyhemoglobin present. Dyes, or any substance
containing dyes, that change usual arterial pigmentation may cause erroneous readings.
Loss of pulse signal can occur when the patient has hypotension, severe vasoconstriction,
severe anemia or hypothermia.
Loss of pulse signal can occur when there is arterial occlusion proximal to the sensor.
Loss of pulse signal can occur when the patient is in cardiac arrest or is in shock.
Tissue damage can occur due to incorrect placement of sensor.
Do not immerse patient cables in water, solvents, or cleaning solutions (the patient cable
connectors are not waterproof). Do not sterilize patient cables by irradiation, steam or ethylene
oxide.
Pulse Oximeter Sensor Warnings
Before using, carefully read the LNOP
®
sensor directions for use.
Use only Masimo oximetry sensors for SpO
2
measurements. Other oxygen transducers
(sensors) may cause improper pulse oximeter performance.
Tissue damage can be caused by incorrect application or use of an LNOP
®
sensor; for
example, by wrapping the sensor too tightly. Inspect the sensor site as directed in the sensor
directions for use to ensure skin integrity and correct positioning and adhesion of the sensor.
Do not use Masimo pulse oximetry sensors during MRI scanning as this could potentially
cause burns. The Masimo pulse oximeter may affect the MRI image, and the MRI unit may
affect the accuracy of the oximetry measurements.
Placement of a sensor on an extremity with a blood pressure cuff, arterial catheter, or
intravascular line may cause inaccurate measurements.
