5 SpO2 and Peripheral
Pulse
5.1 Safety Notes
• The pulsoximeter enables the continuous non-invasive monitoring of the functional
oxygen saturation of the arterial pulsed haemoglobin and the pulse rate.
• The display shows the continuous progress of the numeric SpO
2
and pulse rate.
• The update period of the measurement readings on the display is 0.2 seconds.
• The peak wavelength and maximum optical power of the light emitted by the pulse
oximeter probes can be especially useful to clinicians e.g. performing photodynam-
ic therapy, and are as follows:
– range of peak wavelengths: 600 nm to 900 nm
– maximum light power output: <15 mW
• The ear sensor is designed for use with adults and children over 30 kg and should
not be used with neonates.
V Pulse oximeter probes and probe cable extenders are designed for use with
specific monitors. Only use Massimo sensors recommended from SCHILLER for
SpO
2
measurement with the BP-200 plus. Other SpO
2
sensors may lead to
improper performance or inaccurate results.
V The information in this manual does not overrule any instructions given in the
sensor user guide, which must be consulted for full instructions.
V Do not use the pulsoximeter during magnetic resonance image scanning.
Induced current could potentially cause burns, and the pulsoximetry may affect
the accuracy of the measurements.
V Before using the sensor, carefully read the sensor directions for use.
V Tissue damage can be caused by incorrect application or use of a sensor. Inspect
the sensor site as described in the sensor directions for use to ensure skin
integrity and correct positioning and adhesion of the sensor.
V Do not use damaged patient cables or damaged sensors.
V Substances causing disturbances: Carboxyhaemoglobin can lead to falsely high
measurement readings. The degree of the deviation approximately corresponds
to the quantity of carboxyhaemoglobin. Colours or substances containing colours
that influence the natural blood pigments can also lead to incorrect measurement
readings.
V Exposure to excessive illumination, such as surgical lamps (especially those with
xenon light source), bilirubin lamps, fluorescent lights, infrared heating lamps or
direct sunlight, can affect the performance of an SpO
2
sensor. To prevent
exposure to excessive illumination, ensure that the sensor is correctly applied
and that it is covered with an opaque material, if required. If these measures are
neglected, excessive illumination can lead to incorrect measurements.
V Fuctional tests cannot be used to assess the accuracy nor to calibrate a pulse
oximeter sensor or a pulse oximeter monitor.
V Change the sensor's position at least every 4 hours..
