Safety Reminders
WARNING
To ensure patient safety, do not place the OxiMax N-600x pulse oximeter in any
position where it might tip or fall on the patient.
WARNING
As with all medical equipment, carefully route patient cabling to reduce the possibility
of patient entanglement or strangulation.
WARNING
Ensure that the speaker is clear of any obstruction. Failure to do so could result in an
inaudible alarm tone.
WARNING
Disconnect the oximeter and Nellcor OxiMax pulse oximetry sensor from the patient
during magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scanning. Objects containing metal can
become dangerous projectiles when subjected to the strong magnetic fields created
by MRI equipment. Also, induced currents could potentially cause burns.
WARNING
To ensure accurate performance and prevent device failure, do not subject the OxiMax
N-600x pulse oximeter to extreme moisture, such as direct exposure to rain. Such
exposure may cause inaccurate performance or device failure.
WARNING
Do not use any OxiMax N-600x pulse oximeter, OxiMax pulse oximetry sensor, cables,
or connectors that appear damaged.
WARNING
Do not lift the pulse oximeter by the pulse oximetry cable or power cord. The cable or
cord may disconnect, potentially dropping the pulse oximeter on a patient or a
damaging surface.
WARNING
The OxiMax N-600x pulse oximeter is not defibrillator-proof. It may remain attached to
the patient during defibrillation or during use of an electrosurgical unit, however
readings may be inaccurate during the defibrillation and shortly thereafter.
