powers off.
Using OxiMax™ Pulse Oximetry Sensors
For more information on selecting the right pulse oximetry sensor for the specific
patient and situation, see
Selecting an OxiMax™ Pulse Oximetry Sensor , page 87.
Consider all possible variables. If still in doubt, contact Nellcor’s Technical Services
Department at 1.800.635.5267 or your local Nellcor representative.
Sensor Detection
WARNING
Do not use any other cables to extend the length of the DOC-10 pulse oximetry cable.
Increasing the length of the DOC-10 cable will degrade signal quality and may lead to
inaccurate measurements.
WARNING
Use only the Nellcor DOC-10 pulse oximetry cable with the OxiMax N-600x pulse
oximeter. Use of another pulse oximetry cable will have an adverse effect on
performance. Do not attach any cable that is intended for computer use to the SpO
2
sensor port.
WARNING
Use only Nellcor-approved OxiMax pulse oximetry sensors and pulse oximetry cables
when connecting to the sensor connector. Connecting any other cable or sensor
influences the accuracy of sensor data, which may lead to adverse results.
When an OxiMax pulse oximetry sensor is connected to the oximeter, a “SENSOR
TYPE: xxxx” message displays for between four and six seconds at the bottom of the
oximeter display. The message identifies the type (model) of pulse oximetry sensor
connected to the oximeter. The type is used to determine the action messages in the
sensor message(s) function. For a pulse oximetry sensor containing data, the
message identifies the sensor data type. For a blank pulse oximetry sensor, the
message identifies the oximeter’s current setting used to write data to the sensor.
The settings are SpO
2
and SpO
2
+BPM.
