WARNING: Explosion hazard. Do not use the N-560 pulse oximeter
in the presence of flammable anesthetics or gases.
WARNING: Pulse oximetry readings and pulse signals can be
affected by certain ambient environmental conditions, sensor
application errors, and certain patient conditions. See the
appropriate sections of the manual for specific safety information.
WARNING: To ensure patient safety, do not place the N-560 in any
position that might cause it to fall on the patient.
WARNING: As with all medical equipment, carefully route patient
cabling to reduce the possibility of patient entanglement or
strangulation.
WARNING: Disconnect the N-560 and Nellcor sensor from the
patient during magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scanning. Induced
current could potentially cause burns. The N-560 may affect the MRI
image; the MRI unit may affect the accuracy of oximeter
measurements.
WARNING: To ensure accurate performance and prevent device
failure, do not subject the N-560 to extreme moisture, such as direct
exposure to rain. Such exposure may cause inaccurate performance
or device failure.
