VM15 User Manual Masimo SpO2
Monitoring (Option)
134
Use only Masimo approved accessories.
Motion artifact may lead to inaccurate measurements.
Elevated levels of Total Bilirubin may lead to inaccurate SpO2,
measurements.
With very low perfusion at the monitored site, the readings may
read lower than core arterial oxygen saturation.
Do not expose the Pulse CO-Oximeter to excessive moisture such as direct
exposure to rain.
Excessive moisture can cause the Pulse CO-Oximeter to perform
inaccurately or fail.
Do not immerse the sensor or patient cable in water or, solvents, or
cleaning solutions (The sensors and connectors are not waterproof).
Placement of a sensor on an extremity with a blood pressure cuff,
arterial catheter, or intravascular line.
The MS board can be used during defibrillation, but the readings may be
inaccurate for a short time.
Loss of pulse signal can occur in any of the following situation:
The sensor is too tight.
There is excessive illumination from light sources such as a
surgical lamp, a bilirubin lamp, or sunlight.
A blood pressure cuff is inflated on the same extremity as the one
with a SpO2 sensor attached.
The patient has hypotension, severe vasoconstriction, severe
anemia, or hypothermia.
There is arterial occlusion proximal to the sensor.
The patient is in cardiac arrest or is in shock.
SENSORS
Before use, carefully read the Masimo sensors’ directions for use.
Use only Masimo oximetry sensors for SpO2 measurements. Other oxygen transducers
(sensors) may cause improper MS board performance.
Tissue damage can be caused by incorrect application or use of a LNCS® sensor, for example
by wrapping the sensor too tightly.
Inspect the sensor site as directed in the sensor Directions for Use to ensure skin integrity
and correct positioning and adhesion of the sensor.
Do not use damaged LNOP® / LNCS® sensors. Do not use an LNOP® / LNC sensor with
exposed optical components.
Do not immerse the sensor in water, solvents, or cleaning solutions (the sensors and
connectors are not waterproof). Do not sterilize by irradiation, steam, or ethylene oxide.
See the cleaning instructions in the directions for use for reusable Masimo LNOP® / LNCS®
sensors.
Do not use damaged patient cables. Do not immerse the patient cables in water, solvents, or
cleaning solutions (the patient cable connectors are not waterproof). Do not sterilize by
irradiation, steam, or ethylene oxide.
See the cleaning instructions in the directions for use for reusable Masimo patient cables.
Function
SENSITIVITY
The three sensitivity settings allow the clinician to adapt the SpO2 measurement sensitivity
