8) Carefully route cables to reduce the possibility of patient entanglement or strangulation.
9) Do not alter or modify the sensor. Alterations or modifications may affect performance or accuracy.
10) Do not use the sensor if the sensor or the sensor cable appears damaged.
Instructions for Adult SpO
Intended Use
When used with a compatible patient monitor or a pulse oximeter device, this SpO
used for continuous, non-invasive functional arterial oxygen saturation (SpO
patients weighing greater than 50kg.
Contraindications
This sensor is contraindicated for use on active patients or for prolonged use.
Instructions for Use
1) Hold the sensor with its opening towards the patient's index finger (A). The sensor should be oriented in
such a way that the sensor side with a finger tip sign is positioned on the top.
2) Insert the patient's index finger into the sensor until the fingernail tip rests against the stop at the end of
the sensor. Adjust the finger to be placed evenly on the middle base of the sensor. Direct the cable along
the top of the patient's hand. Apply adhesive tape to secure the cable (B). If an index finger cannot be
positioned correctly, or is not available, other fingers can be used.
3) Plug the sensor into the oximeter and verify proper operation as described in the oximeter operator's
manual.
4) Inspect the monitoring site every 4 hours for skin integrity.
Cleaning & Disinfection
Unplug the sensor before cleaning or disinfecting. Surface-clean sensor and cable with a soft gauze pad by
saturating it with a solution such as 70% isopropyl alcohol. If low-level disinfection is required, use a 1:10
bleach solution.
Caution: Do not sterilize by irradiation steam, or ethylene oxide.
Warnings
1) This sensor is for use only with compatible patient monitors or pulse oximeter devices. Use of this sensor
with instruments other than compatibles may result in improper performance.
2) Some factors may affect the accuracy of saturation measurements. Such factors include: excessive
patient motion, fingernail polish, use of intravascular dyes, excessive light, poorly perfused finger,
extreme finger sizes or improper placement of the sensor.
3) The sensor site must be checked for skin integrity 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 to another finger.
4) Do not use NIBP or other constructing instruments on same appendage as sensor for blood flow
interrupted by NIBP cuff or circulatory patient condition will result in no pulse found or loss of pulse. Do
