Selecting a Sensor
WARNING: Before use, carefully read the sensor directions for use,
including all warnings, cautions, and instructions.
WARNING: Do not use a damaged sensor or pulse oximetry cable.
Do not use a sensor with exposed optical components.
WARNING: Use only Nellcor sensors and pulse oximetry cables with
the N-560. Other sensors or pulse oximetry cables may cause
improper N-560 performance.
WARNING: Use only one pulse oximetry cable to increase the length
of the sensor. Use of more than one pulse oximetry cable may have an
adverse effect on performance. Do not attach any cable that is
intended for computer use to the sensor port.
WARNING: Pulse oximetry readings and pulse signal can be affected
by certain ambient environmental conditions, sensor application
errors, and certain patient conditions.
WARNING: Tissue damage can be caused by incorrect application or
duration of use of an SpO

sensor. Inspect the sensor site as directed
in the sensor directions for use.
WARNING: Do not immerse or wet the sensor.
