CAUTION
Precautions for Use of TG-25 (SP-5C)
·
Cover the probe with a black cover if it is exposed to direct sunlight. Some
measurement error may occur if the probe is exposed to direct sunlight during
measurements.
·
The TG-25 (SP-5C) is designed for use on adult finger. Do not use on other
parts.
·
When removing the probe, do not pull by holding the cable.
·
The TG-25 (SP-5C) is designed for short-term measurement. If measurements
are taken continuously over a long period of time, change the measuring finger
every 2 hours to prevent low-temperature burn. Especially for continuous use on
patient with peripheral circulatory disturbance, change the measuring finger
more frequently.
·
Do not use a tape to fix the probe. It may cause edema or congestion.
·
The probe should be positioned so that the light source is at the base of the
fingernail. Take care not to insert a finger too deep to prevent injury.
·
It may not be possible to take measurements in case of an excessively high
hematocrit value. In such case, reattach the probe to a thinner finger.
·
Remove nail polish before taking measurements to enable stable measurements.
·
Before attaching the probe to a patient, clean the probe using a cloth moistened
with sterilizing alcohol.
·
The connector terminals of the probe should be protected against water or
chemicals.
·
It may not be possible to take measurements in place with vibrations or while
walking. In such case, use the TG-26 (UD-5C) or SD-5C for more stable
measurements.
·
Inaccurate measurements can be caused by the placement of SpO
2
probe on an
extremity with a blood pressure cuff, arterial catheter, or intravascular line
.
