NOTE
 Precautions about the Masimo Sensors
A technology called X-Cal for patient safety and reinforcement of
efficiency in a clinical site is implemented for Masimo sensors. X-Cal is
designed to address the following three common factors that can impact
measurement accuracy and patient safety due to reliability risks.
1) Imitation Masimo sensors
2) Sensors used far beyond their expected life
3) Third-party reprocessed pulse oximetry sensors
If a sensor that does not support X-Cal is used with an X-Cal enabled
equipment, SpO
2
measurement will not be available. Even if Masimo
sensors or specified sensors are used, SpO
2
measurement may not be
available if the sensors are used beyond their expected life.
 About the Expected Life of Masimo Sensors
The X-Cal function automatically monitors the Active Monitoring Time
(actual time of SpO
2
monitoring) for each sensor. If the sensors are used
beyond the expected life, <Bad Sens> or an icon will be displayed. The
monitoring can be continued after <Bad Sens> is displayed, but after 12
hours (disposable sensor)/72 hours (reusable sensor), one of the
following operation will make the sensor unusable.
1) Sensor is detached from the patient for 2 hours or more.
2) Probe is disconnected from the equipment.
3) The power of the equipment is turned OFF.
The following table shows the expected life of sensor. The indication of
usage hours per day (24 hours/12 hours/8 hours) are also shown.
The time inside the brackets are indication of time until the
icon is
displayed.
