B40/B20 Patient Monitor
13-2
•
Change the sensor site immediately if there is evidence of blistering, skin erosion, or
ischemic skin necrosis (such as skin discoloration or reddening). Otherwise, change the
site every four hours.
•
A pulse oximeter should not be used as an apnea monitor.
•
A pulse oximeter should be considered an early warning device. As a trend toward patient
deoxygenation is indicated, blood samples should be analyzed by a laboratory CO-
oximeter to completely understand the patient's condition. Check that the pulse oximetry
waveform is physiological in shape to ensure waveform quality and minimize noise spikes
caused by motion conditions. (Not applicable when monitoring SpO
2
with Masimo SET
technology).
•
Interfering substances can affect the SpO
2
reading.
•
Improper sensor placement can affect the SpO
2
signal and readings.
•
Do not allow tape to block the probe light detector.
•
During electrosurgery the SpO
2
measurement results may be incorrect.
•
Using the Maximum sensitivity setting delays the “Probe Off” Patient detection alarm.
•
If you deactivate the “SpO2 Probe Off” alarm, keep the patient under close surveillance.
Cautions
•
Prolonged monitoring or incorrect sensor application can cause skin irritation or impaired
circulation. Recommend checking probe site every four hours (more frequently for poor
perfusion or neonate). Refer to instructions supplied with sensor.
