•
The MS board of the pulse oximeter should be operated only by a qualified person. This
manual, instructions for use, all precautionary information, and specifications should be
read before use.
•
Risk of electric shock. Do not remove the monitor cover, except for battery replacement. The
operator may perform maintenance procedures specifically described in this manual.
Contact MAGNAMED technical assistance to repair this oximeter.
•
As with all medical equipment, position the patient cable in order to reduce the possibility of
entanglement or strangling.
•
Interfering substances: Carboxyhemoglobin can erroneously increase readings. The level of
increase is approximately equal to the amount of carboxyhemoglobin present. Dyes, or any
substances containing dye, changing usual pigmentation of arteries can cause read errors.
•
Do not use Masimo sensor during magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). Induced current could
potentially cause burns. The oximeter may affect the resonance image, and the resonance
unit may affect oximetry measurements.
•
If the faithfulness of any measurement does not seem reasonable, first check the vital signs
of the patient by alternative measures and check if the oximeter is working properly.
•
The oximeter may be used during defibrillation, but the readings may not be accurate by a
short period of time.
•
Before use, carefully read the operating instructions of LNOP®/LNCS® sensors.
•
Use only Masimo oximetry sensors for SpO2 measurements.
•
Tissue can be damaged by incorrect application or use of LNOP®/LNCS® sensor; for
example, by attaching too tight LNOP®/LNCS® sensors. Inspect the sensor site as directed
in the instructions for use to ensure skin integrity and correct sensor positioning and
attachment.
•
Do not use damaged LNOP®/LNCS® sensors. Do not use LNOP®/LNCS® sensors with
exposed optical components.
•
Do not immerse the sensor in water, solvent or cleaning solution (sensors and connectors
are not waterproof). Do not use irradiation, steam or oxide sterilization. See cleaning
instructions in the instructions for use of reusable Masimo LNOP®/LNCS® sensors.
•
Do not use damaged patient cables. Do not immerse the patient cable in water, solvent, or
cleaning solution (patient cables are not waterproof). Do not use irradiation, steam or oxide
sterilization. See cleaning instructions for reusable Masimo LNOP®/LNCS® patient cables.
•
The responsible organization or operator shall verify oximeter compatibility prior to use, or
this may result in patient injury.
•
Improper application of the pressure transducer with excess of pressure for prolonged
periods may induce pressure damage.
•
Pulse oximeter is calibrated to monitor functional oxygen saturation.
•
SpO2 curve is not normalized.
•
SpO2 reading instability and unrepeatability of the waveform is an indication of signal
inadequacy, which may affect the reading accuracy of the SpO2 and FC parameters and
should not be reliable. The correct assembly of the sensor to the patient should be checked
