sive sensor, MAX-R

Do not reuse the sensor on other patients. This is a sterilized product
and it is intended for single patient use only.

Circulation distal on the sensor site should be checked routinely. The
site must be inspected every 8 hours to ensure adhesion, skin
integrity, and correct sensor site. If skin integrity changes, move the
sensor to another site

Do not use the sensor on patients who exhibit allergic reactions to the
adhesive tape.

Do not get the acetone/alcohol cleaning solution in the patient’s eyes.

Failure to apply the sensor properly may cause incorrect
measurements.

While the sensor is designed to reduce the effects of ambient light,
excessive light may cause inaccurate measurements. In such cases,
cover the sensor with an opaque material.

Intravascular dyes or externally applied coloring such as dye or
pigmented cream may lead to inaccurate measurements.

Take care when removing the MAX-R so that the adhesive does not
damage delicate facial tissue.

The MAX-R is not recommended for patients wearing oxygen or
anesthesia masks.

Excessive motion may compromise performance.

Do not pull the sensor cable to remove the sensor from the device.

In the event of damage to the sterile packaging, do NOT use. Make
sure to check whether the packaging and product is cracked or
damaged before use. If there is any damage.
