Accuracy Specifications - Coviden Nellcor DS100A Instrucciones De Uso

2. Failure to apply the DS-100A properly may cause incorrect measurements.
3. Using the DS-100A in the presence of bright lights may result in inaccurate measurements. In
such cases, cover the sensor site with an opaque material.
4. Reusable sensors must be moved to a new site at least every 4 hours. Because individual skin
condition affects the ability of the skin to tolerate sensor placement, it may be necessary to
change the sensor site more frequently with some patients. If skin integrity changes, move
the sensor to another site.
5. Intravascular dyes or externally applied coloring such as nail polish, dye, or pigmented
cream, may lead to inaccurate measurements.
6. The performance of the DS-100A is compromised by motion.
7. Do not apply tape to secure the sensor in place or to tape it shut; venous pulsations may
lead to inaccurate saturation measurements.
8. As with all medical equipment, carefully route cables to reduce the possibility of patient
entanglement or strangulation.
9. Do not use the DS-100A or other oximetry sensors during MRI scanning. Conducted current
may cause burns. Also, the DS-100A may affect the MRI image, and the MRI unit may affect
the accuracy of oximetry measurements.
10. Do not alter or modify the DS-100A. Alterations or modifications may affect performance or
accuracy.
