Note:
Reusable sensors may remain at one measuring point for 4 h
maximally, provided that state of the skin, the correct and
secure positioning of the sensor at the measuring point are
controlled regularly. As the tolerance towards sensors at the
measuring point depends upon the individual condition of the
skin, it may be necessary to change the points of measure
with some patients.
Note:
Before using the sensor read the instructions for use.
Attention:
Do not use damaged sensors or sensors with unprotected
optical components.
Attention:
Only use original NELLCOR
®
sensors for SpO
2
measures. Other
sensores could cause measuring errors or damage the SpO
2
module.
Attention:
Always use original SpO
2
patient cables which guarantee the
perfect connection of NELLCOR
®
sensors to the Defi-Monitor.
Attention:
Avoid tensile load at the NELLCOR
®
sensor or the SpO
2
patient
cable.
6.2 Selection of correct SpO
2
sensor
In order to select the correct sensor for the respective
application it is necessary taking into account the following
facts:
•
weight of the patient
•
activity of the patient
•
duration of the measure
•
blood circulation of the limbs
Also observe the instructions for the use of pulsoximeters in
appendix A3.
The following table summarizes the most important
