plug.
⚫ Do not use extension cords or adapters of any type. The power cord and plug must
be intact and undamaged.
⚫ If there is any doubt about the integrity of the protective earth conductor
arrangement, operate the VM15 with Masimo SET pulse oximetry on internal
battery power until the AC power supply protective conductor is fully functional.
⚫ To ensure patient electrical isolation, connect only to other equipment with
electronically isolated circuits.
⚫ Note: Do not connect to an electrical outlet controlled by a wall switch or dimmer.
⚫ As with all medical equipment, carefully route patient cabling to reduce the
possibility of patient entanglement or strangulation.
⚫ Do not place the monitor or external power supply in any position that might cause
it to fall on the patient. Do not lift the monitor by the power supply cord or patient
cable; use only the handle on the monitor.
⚫ Interfering Substances: Carboxyhemoglobin may erroneously increase Spo2
readings. The level of increase is approximately equal to the amount of
carboxyhemoglobin present. Dyes, or any substance containing dyes, that change
usual arterial pigmentation may cause erroneous readings.
⚫ Do not use the VM15 with Masimo SET pulse oximetry or Masimo pulse oximetry
sensors during magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scanning.
⚫ Induced current could potentially cause burns. The MS board pulse oximeter may
affect the MRI image, and the MRI unit may affect the accuracy of the oximetry
measurements.
Cleaning
⚫ Do not autoclave, pressure sterilize, or gas sterilize this oximeter.
⚫ Do not soak or immerse the monitor in any liquid.
⚫ Use the cleaning solution sparingly. Excessive solution can flow into the monitor
and cause damage to internal components.
⚫ Do not touch, press, or rub the display panels with abrasive cleaning compounds,
instruments, brushes, rough surface materials, or bring them into contact with
anything that could scratch the panel.
⚫ Do not use petroleum-based or acetone solutions, or other harsh solvents, to clean
the oximeter. These substances attack the device’s materials and device failure can
result.
