NOTE! Use only standard five-lead ECG cable.
Oximetry Warnings, Cautions, and Notes
WARNING! Prolonged use or the patient's condition may require changing
the sensor site periodically. Change the sensor site and check
skin integrity, circulatory status, and correct alignment at least
every 4 hours.
WARNING! When attaching sensors with micro foam tape, do not stretch
the tape or attach the tape too tightly. Tape applied too tightly
may cause inaccurate readings and blisters on the patient's
skin (lack of skin respiration, not heat, causes the blisters).
WARNING! Using a damaged sensor may cause inaccurate readings,
possibly resulting in patient injury or death. Inspect each
sensor. If a sensor appears damaged, do not use it. Use another
sensor or contact your authorized repair center for help.
WARNING! Using a damaged patient cable may cause inaccurate readings,
possibly resulting in patient injury or death. Inspect the patient
cable. If the patient cable appears damaged, do not use it.
Contact your authorized repair center for help.
WARNING! Failure to carefully route the cable from the sensor to the
monitor may allow the patient to become entangled in the
cable, possibly resulting in patient strangulation. Route the
cable in a way that will prevent the patient from becoming
entangled in the cable. If necessary, use tape to secure the
cable.
WARNING! If any of the integrity checks fail, do not attempt to monitor
the patient. Use another sensor or patient cable, or contact the
equipment dealer for help if necessary.
WARNING! Do not autoclave, ethylene oxide sterilize, or immerse the
sensors in liquid. Evidence that liquid has been allowed to
enter the monitor voids the warranty.
WARNING! Use only SpO
2
sensors supplied with, or specifically intended
for use with, this device.
