again and wait the SpO2 reading stabilized and the waveform repeatable. A functional tester
cannot be used to evaluate the accuracy of a pulse oximeter.
•
The oximetry sensor presents no photobiological risk.
•
The uSpO2 extender cable is designed for use specifically with Oxymag.
•
The operator shall be aware of the read delay effect, considering the averaging and signal
processing time that can be up to 10 seconds for the SpO2, FC and PI parameters.
•
SpO2, FC and PI parameter readings may be affected by a delay of up to 10 seconds due to
the data update period.
•
Alarm conditions and delay in alarm generation do not affect SpO2, FC, and PI parameter
readings.
•
Depending on the selected graph, loop, or parameter screen, the read sample from SpO2
parameters will not be displayed. To perform the reading, select the SpO2 graph option. In
this option it is also possible to perform readings of ventilation parameters such as airway
pressure, expired volume, among others.
Caution
•
Cleaning
o
Do not sterilize by steam, pressure or gas.
o
Do not wet or immerse the monitor in any liquid.
o
Use sparingly the cleaning solution. Excessive amount of solution may drip inside the monitor and
cause internal damage to the components.
o
Do not use petroleum- or acetone-based solutions, or other harsh solvents to clean the oximeter.
These components attack the materials of the device and may even result in failure.
•
Inaccuracy in the measurements may have been caused by:
o
Misapplication or misuse of the sensor
o
Significant level of hemoglobin dysfunction (e.g., carboxyhemoglobin or methemoglobin).
o
Intravascular dyes, such as green indocyanine or methylene blue.
o
Exposure to excessive light, as well as surgical lamps (particularly those with xenon light source),
lamp for bilirubin, fluorescent light, infrared heating lamps, or direct sunlight (exposure to excessive
light can be corrected by covering the sensor with a dark or opaque material).
o
Excessive patient motion.
o
Venous pulsation
o
Positioning the sensor at one end with a blood pressure cuff, arterial catheter or intravascular line.
•
Loss of pulse signal can occur due to any of the following:
o
The sensor is too tight
o
There is excessive illumination from light sources, such as surgical lamp, bilirubin lamp or sunlight.
o
Blood pressure cuff is inflated at the same end where the SpO2 sensor is positioned.
