For reusable sensors, follow the sensor directions for use for cleaning and reuse. For single-patient use sen-
sors, use a new sensor for each patient. Do not sterilize any sensor by irradiation, steam, or ethylene oxide.
Safety Information for SpO
2
Monitoring
Continuous use of the SpO
2
sensor may result in discomfort or pain, especially for those with microcircu-
latory problem. It is recommended that the sensor should NOT be applied to the same place for over two
hours, change the measuring site periodically if necessary.
The SpO
2
measuring site must be examined carefully for certain patient groups. Do NOT place the SpO
2
sensor on the finger of a patient with edema or fragile tissue.
If sterile packaging of a disposable SpO
2
sensor is damaged, do not use it.
Check the SpO
2
sensor and cable before use. Do NOT use a damaged SpO
2
sensor.
If the temperature of SpO
2
sensor is abnormal, do not use it any more.
Please do not allow the cable to be twisted or bent.
Do NOT put the SpO
2
sensor and pressure cuff on the same limb, otherwise the NIBP measuring will affect
SpO
2
measuring and cause an alarm error.
Using nail polish or other cosmetic product on the nail may affect the accuracy of measurement.
The fingernail should be of normal length.
The SpO
2
sensor cannot be immerged in water, alcohol or cleanser completely, because the sensor has no
capability to resist the harmful ingress of water
3.4.4 TEMP Transducer Connection
Please follow the corresponding methods to make temperature measurement according to the temperature
transducer you selected.
• Connecting methods for thermal temperature transducer:
1. Securely attach the transducer to the patient.
2. Connect the cable to TEMP probe connector in the front panel.
• Connecting methods for infrared temperature probe:
Figura 3.11A sonda di temperatura a infrarossi
Figura 3.11 B
1. Connect the infrared temperature probe to the connector on the front side of device marked “TEMP”.
2. When the probe screen shows as figure 3.11B and the temperature unit “°C” is blinking, the user can begin
to take the measurement.
3. Insert the tip of the temperature probe into the earhole and press the measuring key to start the measure-
ment. A short beep means the measurement has finished and the result will be displayed on the both probe
and the Gima Vital Signs Monitor screen.
Note:
When unplugging the probe, be sure to hold the head of the connector and pull it out.
