Indications For Use - Braun Pulse oximeter 1 Manual De Instrucciones

Indications for use

The Braun Pulse oximeter (BPX800) is a non-sterile,
reusable device intended for spot checking or intermittent
determination of oxygen saturation in arterial blood, as
well as the associated pulse rate by using the tip of the
finger as the measurement site. The device is intended
for people 12 years of age or older, in a home-use
environment (such as a home setting or places
of business).
The pulse oximeter displays the %SpO2, pulse rate, as
well as the pulse amplitude using a vertical bar graph.
WARNINGS AND
PRECAUTIONS
Please read the manual carefully before use.
Device isn't suitable for continuous monitoring.
Pulse oximeters are sensitive to motion. Keep hands still
while taking a reading.
Pulse oximeters require sufficient blood flow to
obtain proper readings. Poor blood circulation can result
in inaccurate readings. If your hands are cold or if you
have poor circulation, warm your hands by rubbing
them together or use another warming method before
attempting to obtain a reading. A tourniquet, blood
pressure cuff, other devices or clothing that cause blood
flow restrictions may also result in inaccurate readings.
Fingernail polish or acrylic nails obstruct the light
transmission through the fingertip and may also result in
inaccurate readings.
Your finger must be clean for a proper reading.
The Pulse oximeter should be clean in order to
get a proper reading. Please ensure the finger clip
area is cleaned, following the cleaning instruction in the
manual.
If a reading is difficult to obtain, switch to another finger
or to the other hand. The index or middle finger is
recommended for taking measurements.
There are a number of other conditions which may lead
to an inaccurate reading; including but not limited to,
recent medical tests that included an injection of dyes,
use of arterial catheters, a weak pulse, low levels of
hemoglobin in the blood, low perfusion (the quality of your
pulse), elevated levels of dysfunctional hemoglobin, the
