function begin to work.
Notices
z
Application of this device may influence the measuring accuracy in
the background of electromagnetic areas such as electro-surgery
environment.
z
Operation of this device may be adversely affected in the presence of
computed tomography (CT) equipment. Use only BCI SpO2 sensors
supplied with, or specifically intended for use with, this BCI device.
Use of sensors not intended for use with this device may cause
inaccurate readings. Pay more attention to the application when
apply this device under the situation of computed tomography (CT)
environment. Please exclusively use the attached accessory, BCI
SPO2,
z
SpO2 measurements may be adversely affected in the presence of
high ambient light. Shield the sensor area (with a surgical towel, for
example) if necessary.
z
Dyes introduced into the bloodstream, such as methylene blue,
indocyanine green, indigo carmine, and fluorescein, may adversely
affect the accuracy of the SpO2 reading.
z
Any condition that restricts blood flow, such as use of a blood
pressure cuff or extremes in systemic vascular resistance, may
cause a failure to determine accurate pulse rate and SpO2 readings.
z
Remove fingernail polish or artificial fingernails before applying SpO2
sensors. Fingernail polish or artificial fingernails may lead to
inaccurate SpO2 readings.
z
SpO2 averaging is the number of pulse beats over which the SpO2
value is averaged; pulse averaging is the number of seconds over
which the pulse value is averaged.
z
Hazards arising from software errors have been minimized. Hazard
analysis conforms to meet ISO14971: 2000 and EN60601-1-4: 1996.
Significant levels of dysfunctional hemoglogins, such as
carboxyhemoglogin or methhemoglobin, will spawn an affection of
the accuracy of the SpO2 measurement.
z
Optical cross-talk can occur when two or more sensors are located in
adjoining area. It can be eliminated by covering each site with
opaque material. Optical cross-talk may adversely affect the
accuracy of the SpO2 readings.
