Masimo
CAUTION
:
The device must be configured to match your local power line frequency to allow
for the cancelation of noise introduced by fluorescent lights and other sources.
CAUTION
:
If the Low SIQ Indicator illuminates frequently, find a better perfused monitoring
site. In the interim, assess the patient and, if indicated, verify oxygenation status through
other means.
CAUTION
: If using pulse oximetry during full body irradiation, keep the sensor out of the
radiation field. If the sensor is exposed to the radiation, the reading might be inaccurate or
the device might read zero for the duration of the active irradiation period.
CAUTION
: When patients are undergoing photodynamic therapy they may be sensitive to
light sources. Pulse oximetry may be used only under careful clinical supervision for short
time periods to minimize interference with photodynamic therapy.
CAUTION
: If SpO2 values indicate hypoxemia, a laboratory blood sample should be taken to
confirm the patient’s condition.
Note
: A functional tester cannot be used to assess the accuracy of the Pronto.
Note
: It is recommended that Pronto battery is fully charged prior to use.
Note
: All batteries lose capacity with age, thus the amount of run time at Low Battery will
vary depending upon the age of the battery.
Note
:
Do not loop the patient cabling into a tight coil or wrap around the device, as this can
damage the patient cabling.
Note
: Additional information specific to the Masimo sensors compatible with Pronto,
including information about parameter/measurement performance during motion and low
perfusion, may be found in the sensor's directions for use (DFU).
Note
: High-intensity extreme lights (such as pulsating strobe lights) directed on the sensor,
may not allow the Pronto to obtain vital sign readings.
