operating under high ambient light conditions may result in inaccurate
measurements.
Caution:
For best product performance and measurement accuracy, use only accessories
supplied or recommended by Covidien. Use accessories according to the

Select an appropriate compatible Nellcor™ pulse oximetry sensor for the patient and desired
application. Consider the patient's weight and activity, adequacy of perfusion, availability of
sensor sites, need for sterility, and anticipated duration of monitoring.
2.
Carefully apply the sensor to the patient after reading the

nying the sensor. Observe all warnings and cautions in the
Instructions for Use

Connect the interface cable to the sensor port on the front of the panel and firmly
connect the interface cable to the pulse oximetry sensor.
When the monitoring system detects a valid pulse, it enters monitoring mode and dis-
plays real-time patient data.
