WARNING:
Use only Covidien-approved sensors and interface cables when connecting to
the sensor port. Connecting any other cable or sensor influences the accuracy

necting a recommended sensor to the monitoring system or when the moni-
toring system completes POST with an attached sensor.

Note:
Physiological conditions such as excessive patient movement, medical procedures, or
external agents such as dysfunctional hemoglobin, arterial dyes, low perfusion, dark
pigment, and externally applied coloring agents such as nail polish, dye, or pigmented
cream may interfere with the monitoring system’s ability to detect and display
measurements.
