Reprocessed Masimo Pulse Oximeter Sensor
Page 3 of 10
•
In conjunction with clinical signs and symptoms, pulse oximeter sensors are exclusively designed to be used as an adjunct
in patient assessment.
•
Do not use a sensor or pulse oximeter cable if it is damaged and/or if optical components are exposed.
•
Do not attach any cable intended for computer use into the sensor’s port connector.
•
Sensor application errors, certain patient and ambie
nt environmental conditions, can affect pulse oximeter’s readings and
signal.
•
Do not lift the sensor by the power cord or cable; this may cause the sensor to disconnect and drop on the patient.
Any of the following conditions can cause inaccurate oxygen measurements
•
Failure to properly apply the sensor to the patient or to align the optical transducers.
•
Application of sensor to an extremity with an arterial catheter, blood pressure cuff or intravascular infusion line in place.
•
Application of sensor to a site that is too thick, thin or deeply pigmented.
•
Venous pulsations if the sensor or supplemental tape is wrapped too tightly.
•
Transducer exposure to excessive light. Cover the sensor with opaque material if it is suspected that the transducer is
exposed to excessive ambient light.
•
Intravascular dyes or applied coloring (nail polish).
•
Excessive motion. Locate sensor at a stationary site and try to keep patient still.
Sensor Specifications for LNCS
®
Series:
When used with Masimo SET
®
Radical
TM
pulse oximetry monitors using LNC series patient cables, during no motion, the
accuracy of the LNCS® sensors from 70% to 100% S
p
O
2
is ± 2.3 digits (± 1 Standard Deviation) for adults/pediatrics/infants.
The pulse rate accuracy from 30-180 bpm is ± 3 bpm (± 1 Standard Deviation). LNCS
®
series have been validated on the
Masimo SET

Radical
TM
Pulse Oximeter.
Directions for Use
The package label is detachable and may be affixed to the medical record of the patient. When selecting a sensor, consider
patient’s weight
and activity level, need for sterility, perfusion adequacy, sensor site availability, and expected monitoring
duration.
LNCS

Series:
1. Site Selection
•
1861, 2319 and 2328 Infant Sensor
•
3-20 kg The big toe is the preferred site, the toe next to the big toe, or the thumb can be used.
•
1860 Pediatric Sensor
•
10-50 kg The middle or ring finger of the non-dominant hand is the preferred site.
•
1859 and 2317 Adult Sensor
•
> 30 kg The middle or ring finger of the non-dominant hand is the preferred site.
•
Always cho
ose a site that will completely cover the sensor’s detector window.
•
Site should be cleaned and dry prior to sensor placement.
•
1862, 2320 and 2329 Adult Sensor
•
> 40 kg The middle or ring finger of the non-dominant hand is the preferred site.
2. Attaching the sensor to patient
•
Open pouch and remove the sensor. Remove backing from the sensor.
•
INFANTS (3-20kg)
•
Adjust the sensor tail so that it either points away from the patient or runs along the bottom of the foot. Place the
detector onto the fleshy part of the toe.
•
Wrap the adhesive wrap around the toe. Ensure that the emitter window aligns on the top of the toe directly opposite
of the detector.
•
Check sensor to confirm correct positioning and reposition if necessary. Entire coverage of the detector window is
needed to ensure accurate data.
•
PEDIATRIC (10-50kg) and ADULT 1859 and 2317 (>30kg) and ADULT 1862, 2320 and 2329 (>40kg)
•
Adjust the sensor tail so that the detector can be placed first. Press the detector onto the part of the finger near the tip
of t
he finger. Press the “T” shaped adhesive ends of the sensor onto the finger.
•
Wrap the sensor with the emitter over the fingernail and secure the wings down around finger. The emitter and the
detector should be vertically aligned when properly applied.
