4.4 Notes
!
NOTE:
BabySat is calibrated to display functional Oxygen Saturation of arterial Hemoglobin (SpO2) in the Owlet Care+ App.
NOTE:
BabySat does not require calibration by the user.
NOTE:
Cold or poorly Perfused tissue may aect the Sensor’s performance.
NOTE:
The taking of medications that alter blood color, the administration of intravascular dyes (such as methylene blue or indocyanine green and other dyes) or a high level of
dysfunctional Hemoglobin in cases of Thalassemia, spherocytosis, MCF (e.g. Carboxyhemoglobin or Methemoglobin) may aect the Sensor’s performance.
NOTE:
Severe anemia or elevated levels of total bilirubin may aect the Sensor’s performance.
4.5 Risks of Using the Sock and Sensor
Skin Irritation: Some babies may develop skin irritation on their feet when
using the Sock due to the pressure or friction against the baby’s delicate
skin. Here is what you can do to help avoid skin irritation
Make sure the Sock is correctly sized for the baby and correctly applied
For the first two weeks, and aer switching to a new Sock size, check the
skin under the Sock every 4 hours for any signs of irritated skin.
Alternate Sock placement between feet at least every 8 hours. If your
baby has sensitive skin, alternate every 4 hours. Check skin condition
each time you alternate feet
Stop use if skin irritation persists. Resume use when the skin irritation is
gone
Keep the Sock and baby’s skin clean and dry.
Avoid using lotions or powders under the Sock.
Hyperpigmentation: There are some wavelengths of light used by the
Sensor that can potentially cause hyperpigmentation (darkening of the skin
tone) in the area of skin exposed to the light. This is due to activation of
melanin by thelight source. This is not an injury to the skin, but a reaction
some babies may have. It is more common in children with darker skin
tones. There is no treatment necessary for this finding,and gradually
resolves over time. If you have questions about any skin changes related to
wearing the Sock, please contact customer support.
