Precautions for Use of reusable sensors, DS-100A
Do not apply the sensor on the thumb or toe. It may cause incorrect
measurements.
Do not use the sensor for long-term monitoring.
Circulation distal on the sensor site should be checked routinely. Reusable
sensors must be moved to a new site at least every 4 hours. Because
individual skin condition affects the ability of the skin to tolerate sensor
placement, it may be necessary to change the sensor site more frequently
with some patients. If skin integrity changes, move the sensor to another
site. If long-term monitoring is required, use an OxiMax
®
sensor (MAX-A,
MAX-AL, or MAX-N).
Failure to apply the sensor properly may cause incorrect measurements.
While the sensor is designed to reduce the effects of ambient light,
excessive light may cause inaccurate measurements. In such cases, cover
the sensor with an opaque material.
Do not apply tape to secure the sensor in place or to tape it shut; venous
pulsations may lead to inaccurate saturation measurements.
Excessive motion may compromise performance. In such cases, try to keep
the patient still, or change the sensor site to one with less motion.
Intravascular dyes or externally applied coloring such as nail polish, dye, or
pigmented cream may lead to inaccurate measurements.
Do not pull the sensor cable to remove the sensor from the equipment.
In the event of damage to the sterile packaging, do NOT use. Make sure to
check whether the packaging and product is cracked or damaged before
use. If there is any damage.
Do not immerse in water or cleaning solutions. Do not resterilize.
For additional warnings, cautions or contraindications when using sensors
with the LX-7230N, refer to each Nellcor SpO
