Attention
When the accurate positioning between the test site and the probe fails, it may result
in wrong readings of SpO2, and even stop monitoring because of the failure of searching pulse.
In this case you should re-position these two.
Excessive movement of measured sites may affect the accuracy of the measurement,
therefore, you should calm the patient or replace sites in order to reduce the impact of
excessive movement.
Warning
The maximum measuring time of SpO2 sensor on a single measuring site is 2 hours.
In a long and continuous monitoring process, it is advisable to check periodically the
positioning of the sensor to avoid inaccurate measurement due to changing in the positioning
because of moving or other factors.
