Safety Information
The VS30 pulse oximeter is calibrated to indicate functional oxygen saturation.
WARNING
• To minimize risk of damage to the monitor during defibrillation, use only approved supplies.
• To reduce the risk of burns, periodically move the SpO
2
sensor to a new location.
• Applying an SpO
2
sensor at ambient temperatures above 35
o
C (95
o
F) can cause severe burns
after prolonged application.
• Injected dyes, like methylene blue, or intravascular dyshemoglobins (methemoglobin and
carboxyhemoglobin) can lead to inaccurate measurements.
• Interference can be caused by:
- High levels of ambient light. To avoid this problem, cover the application site with opaque
material.
- Electromagnetic interference.
- Excessive patient movement and vibration.
• High oxygen levels can predispose a premature infant to retrolental fibroplasia. If this is a
consideration, do not set the high SpO
2
alarm limit to 100%. This is equivalent to switching the
alarm off. Transcutaneous O
2
monitoring is recommended for premature infants receiving
supplemental oxygen.
• Do not use disposable sensors on patients who have allergic reactions to the adhesive.
