1-8 VS2000 Vital Signs Monitor Operation Manual
for use with, this device.
WARNING! SpO
2
measurements may be adversely affected in the presence
of high ambient light. Shield the sensor area (with a surgical
towel, for example) if necessary.
WARNING! Dyes introduced into the bloodstream, such as methylene blue,
indocyanine green, indigo carmine, patent blue V (PBV), and
fluorescein may adversely affect the accuracy of the SpO
2
reading.
WARNING! Any condition that restricts blood flow, such as use of a blood
pressure cuff or extremes in systemic vascular resistance, may
cause an inability to determine accurate SpO
2
and pulse rate
readings.
WARNING! Under certain clinical conditions, pulse oximeters may display
dashes if unable to display SpO
2
and/or pulse rate values.
Under these conditions, pulse oximeters may also display
erroneous values. These conditions include, but are not limited
to: patient motion, low perfusion, cardiac arrhythmias, high or
low pulse rates or a combination of the above conditions.
Failure of the clinician to recognize the effects of these
conditions on pulse oximeter readings may result in patient
injury.
CAUTION! Unplug the sensor from the monitor before cleaning or
disinfecting.
NOTE! Obstructions or dirt on the sensor's red light or detector may cause
a sensor failure. Make sure there are no obstructions and the
sensor is clean.
Non-invasive Blood Pressure Warnings, Cautions, and Notes
WARNING! Blood pressure measurements may be inaccurate if cuffs
and/or hoses other than those specified by Utech Co., Ltd. are
used.
WARNING! Repeated use of STAT mode for periods longer than 15 minutes
should be avoided to reduce the patient's risk for soft tissue or
nerve damage. When using the monitor for long periods of
