UT100 Handheld Pulse Oximeter Operation Manual 1-5
WARNING! Failure to carefully route the cable from the sensor to the
monitor may allow the patient to become entangled in the
cable, possibly resulting in patient strangulation. Route the
cable in a way that will prevent the patient from becoming
entangled in the cable. If necessary, use tape to secure the
cable.
WARNING! If there is a risk of the AC power supply becoming disconnected
from the monitor during use, secure the cord to the monitor
several inches from the connection.
WARNING! Under certain clinical conditions, pulse oximeters may display
dashes if unable to display SpO
2
and/or pulse rate values.
Under these conditions, pulse oximeters may also display
erroneous values. These conditions include, but are not limited
to: patient motion, low perfusion, cardiac arrhythmias, high or
low pulse rates or a combination of the above conditions.
Failure of the clinician to recognize the effects of these
conditions on pulse oximeter readings may result in patient
injury.
WARNING! Verify that all LEDs (light emitting diodes) on the display light
up upon startup of the device.
Cautions
CAUTION! Do not autoclave, ethylene oxide sterilize, or immerse the
monitor or sensors in liquid. Always disconnect the power
source and remove all batteries before cleaning or disinfecting
the monitor.
CAUTION! Should the device become wet, wipe off all moisture and allow
sufficient time for drying before operating.
CAUTION! The monitor should be operated from its internal power source
if the integrity of the protective earth conductor is in doubt.
CAUTION! Pressing front panel keys with sharp or pointed instruments
may permanently damage the keypad. Press front panel keys
only with your finger.
