AH-TX Series Handheld Pulse Oximeter Instruction Manual
24
Do not use the oximeter and the SpO
2
probe during magnetic
resonance imaging (MRI). The induced current could cause burns
to the patient.
Prolonged continuous monitoring may increase the risk of
unexpected changes in skin characteristics of the patient, such as
irritation, reddening, blistering or burns. Inspect the probe site
every two hours and move the probe if the skin quality changes.
For neonates, or patients with poor peripheral blood circulation or
sensitive skin, inspect the probe site more frequently.
Check the SpO
2
probe and its package for any sign of damage
before use. Do not use the probe if any damage is detected.
When discarding a disposable or broken SpO
2
probe, please
observe all local, state, and federal regulations relating to the
disposal of this products or similar products.
If using a disposable probe, do not reuse it on different patients.
Caution: In cases where it is necessary to add a clip to fix the
fingertip probe, clip the cable and not the probe itself. Please note that
the probe cable should not be pulled with force.
Note:
The pleth wave is not equal to the intensity of PR signal.
The oximeter does not provide an automatic self-check alarm
signal; the operator should use an SpO2 simulator or use the
oximeter on themselves to check the oximeter is working correctly.
