WARNINGS
DANGER! Oxygen vigorously accelerates combustion.
Possible fire hazard when used with oxygen
administering equipment. Explosion hazard when used
in the presence of flammable anesthetics.
Before use, carefully read this operator's manual, sensor
and accessory directions for use, and all precautionary
information (which is set in boldface type).
To avoid possible patient strangulation with the sensor
extension cable, it is important that a health care
professional remain with the patient at all times during
use of the N-20/N-20P pulse oximeter.
The N-20/N-20P is intended only as an adjunct in patient
assessment. It must be used in conjunction with clinical
signs and symptoms.
The N-20/N-20P does not incorporate alarms. If alarms
are required, use an oximeter with an automatic alarm
system.
Shock hazard. Cover to be removed only by qualified
service personnel. There are no user-serviceable parts
inside.
Use only NELLCOR oxygen transducers. Use of other
oxygen transducers may cause improper oximeter
performance.
