
Do not put the sensor on limbs with arterial duct or intravenous tube.

Do not intertwine electrosurgical equipment cable with the sensor cable.

Avoid using the monitor and sensors while using the NMR equipment, in order to avoid
severe burns to the patient as a result of induced currents.

During long time continuous monitoring of a patient, check the position of SpO2 sensor
once every 2 hours, and move properly when the skin changes or every four hours. Some
patients may require more frequent inspection, such as patients with perfusion disorders
or sensitive skin, because persistent and prolonged monitoring may increase
unpredictable skin changes, such as allergies, redness, blistering or pressure necrosis.
 Carefully select SpO2 alarm upper limit. High oxygen level will cause crystal-like fibrous
tissue disease to premature children.
Note

Do not put the oxygen probe and blood pressure cuff on the same limb, because blood
flow occlusion during blood pressure measurement will affect the SpO2 readings.

This monitor cannot be used to verify the accuracy of SPO2 Probe and SPO2 machine.
8.3 Monitoring Steps
1. Select the appropriate SpO2 sensor according to the patient.
2. Turn on the monitor, and connect the SpO2 lead wire to the monitor.
3. Clean the measurement site, such as finger with nail polish.
4.
Put the SpO2 sensor probe on the patient’s body.
5. Select the appropriate alarm settings.
6. Start monitoring.
