ZOE PPM3 - Pediatric Considerations

5-4 Nightingale PPM3 User's Guide April 2019
Pulse Oximetry Monitoring
Note – The SpO
2
waveform is not proportional to pulse volume.
Note – The accuracy of a pulse oximeter probe or a pulse oximeter monitor cannot be
assessed with a functional tester. The accuracy of the SpO
2
parameter in the Nightingale
PPM3 has been validated with a co-oximeter per ISO 80601-2-61.
5.4. Pediatric Considerations
It is important to select a SpO
2
sensor that is appropriate for the weight of the
patient. For example, a clean pulse oximetry waveform may not be obtainable
when an adult sensor is used on a small child. Weight-range information can be
found in the packaging that comes with the SpO
2
sensor.
