Note:[6] Plethysmograph: is an instrument for measuring
changes in volume within an organ or whole body (usually
resulting from fluctuations in the amount of blood or air it
contains).
CAUTION: The device must not be used on children below 3
years of age, as it cannot be guaranteed to provide accurate
results.
CAUTION: The Pulse Oximeter is intended only as an adjunct
in patient assessment. It must be used in conjunction with other
methods of assessing clinical signs and symptoms.
CAUTION: A function tester cannot be used to assess the
accuracy of the Pulse Oximeter monitor or sensor.
Clinical testing is used to establish the SpO2 accuracy. The
measured arterial SpO2 value (SpO2) of the sensor is
compared to arterial hemoglobin oxygen (SaO2) value,
determined from blood samples with a laboratory CO-oximeter.
The accuracy of the sensors in comparison to the CO-oximeter
samples measured over the SpO2 range of 70-100%. Accuracy
data is calculated using the root-mean-square (Arms value) for
all subjects. Only about two-thirds of PULSE OXIMETER
EQUIPMENT measurements can be expected to fall within
±Arms of the value measured by a CO-oximeter.
A pulse simulator shall be used to assess pulse rate accuracy.
The measured pulse rate is compared to the preset pulse rate
value in the simulator. Accuracy data is calculated using the
root-mean-square (Arms value) for all subjects.
