WARnIng! If the accuracy of any measurement is in question,
verify the patient’s vital sign (s) by an alternative
method and then check the monitor for proper
functioning.
WARnIng! This device must be used in conjunction with clinical
signs and symptoms. This device is only intended to be
an adjunct in patient assessment.
WARnIng! This device is intended for use by persons trained
in professional health care. The operator must be
thoroughly familiar with the information in this
manual before using the device.
WARnIng! It is the operator’s responsibility to set alarm limits
appropriately for each individual patient.
WARnIng! Prolonged use or the patient’s condition may require
changing the sensor site periodically. Change sensor
site and check skin integrity, circulatory status, and
correct alignment at least every 4 hours.
WARnIng! When attaching sensors with Microfoam
®
tape, do
not stretch the tape or attach the tape too tightly. Tape
applied too tightly may cause inaccurate readings and
blisters on the patient’s skin (lack of skin respiration,
not heat, causes the blisters).
WARnIng! Connect the Wall Mount Charger to grounded, three-
wire outlet. Failure to comply may compromise patient
isolation.
WARnIng! Patient safety can be compromised by the use of a
power supply not supplied by Smiths Medical PM, Inc.
Use only the power supply included with your monitor,
or approved by Smiths Medical PM, Inc.
WARnIng! verify the functionality of any remote alarm system
connected to this monitor before leaving the patient
unattended.
WARnIng! Use only SpO
2
sensors supplied with, or specifically
intended for use with, this device.
