C A U T I O N
y As the skin of neonate/low birth weight infant is immature, change the
sensor attachment site more frequently depending on the condition.
y Direct sunlight to the sensor area can cause measurements error.
Place a black or dark cloth over the sensor.
y
When not performing measurement, unplug the relay cable and
sensor from the SpO
2
connector. Otherwise, the measurement data
may be erroneously displayed by the ambient light.
y For additional warnings, cautions, or contraindications when using
sensors with the DSL-8001, refer to each SpO
2
sensor instruction
manual.
y The pulse wave is normalized for SpO
2
measurement. It does not
indicate perfused blood volume. Check proper probe attachment by
observing the pulse wave.
y If “– – –“ is displayed for the SpO
2
numeric data, make sure that the
sensor is properly attached.
z NIBP Monitoring
y Correct NIBP measurement cannot be performed if artificial heart
lung machine is used or if the pulse is difficult to detect.
y Pay attention when measuring the NIBP of patient with bleeding
disorders or hyper coagulation. The cuff inflation may cause petechia
or circulatory failure by the blood clot.
y Do not apply the cuff to the arm or thigh where vein is secured. The
blood may backflow causing the chemical injection to cease.
y Select the appropriate cuff size which best fits the arm circumference.
If the cuff size is inappropriate, it may cause measurement error.
y Do not use a cuff which is worn out. The cuff may burst during
inflation.
y Properly arrange the cuff and air hose.
y Make sure that the cuff hose connection is secure. If there is any air
leakage, correct NIBP measurement cannot be performed.
y
Check the condition of cuff-applied part on the patient during
measurement so that the blood circulation will not be blocked over
long period of time by the squashed or bent cuff hose.
y Check the patient's condition constantly while measuring over a long
period of time with interval of 2.5 minutes or less. Also, periodically
check the blood circulation while performing periodic measurement
over a long period of time. Congestion or rash may occur at the
measuring site.
y
Make sure to check the patient's condition constantly when
repeatedly using continuous measurement as it may cause
dysfunction of patient's circulation.
y When the cuff is not applied to the patient, pay attention not to leave
the cuff unattended. If periodic or continuous measurement is set, the
cuff will automatically inflate and may cause the rubber bag inside the
cuff to burst. When not performing the NIBP measurement, set the
NIBP measurement interval OFF and disconnect the air hose from
the NIBP connector.
y The following factors may affect the NIBP value.
- Body motion, arrhythmia, convulsion
- Continuous noise such as cardiac massage
- Periodic electromagnetic noise
y For the following situation, measurements will be terminated.
- When the measurement time has exceeded 160 seconds for adult
and child, 80 seconds for neonate.
- When the inflation value has exceeded 300mmHg for adult,
210mmHg for child, and 150mmHg for neonate.
y If used with incorrect patient classification, it will not only cause
erroneous measurement, but the inflating level for the adult may be
applied to child or neonate which will compromise the safety of the
patient.
