NOTE:
When a Masimo Rainbow Sensor is properly connected to the patient, the instru-
ment normally goes through a 20-30 second sensor calibration/pulse search routine and
then displays numeric values installed on the instrument and supported by the sensor.
It also provides graphical displays for plethysmographic waveform, Signal Identification
and Quality Indicator (Signal IQ®). However, if the sensor calibration/pulse search routine
is unsuccessful for Rainbow parameters/measurements, the instrument automatically
switches to a “SpO2 Only Mode” to provide SpO2, PR, PI and PVI values.
MASIMO PULSE CO-OXIMETRY SENSORS
Before use, carefully read the Masimo sensor Directions for Use.
Use only Masimo sensors for pulse oximetry or pulse CO-Oximetry measurements.
Tissue damage can be caused by incorrect application or use of a sensor, for example by
wrapping the sensor too tightly. Inspect the sensor site as directed in the sensor Directions for
Use to ensure skin integrity and correct positioning and adhesion of the sensor.
NOTE
: When monitoring Acoustic Respiration, Masimo recommends minimally monitoring
both oxygenation (SpO2) and respiration (RRa).
If a Masimo Rainbow Direct Connect Reusable Sensor is being used and “SpO2 Only Mode”
appears on the LCD display screen, perform one of the following steps to obtain Rainbow
values:
■
Remove the sensor from the patient and properly reapply (recommended).
■
Remove the cable connector from the instrument and reconnect.
■
Turn the power off and on at the instrument.
If a Masimo Rainbow Adhesive Sensor is being used and “SpO2 Only Mode” appears on the
display screen, perform one of the following steps to to obtain Rainbow values:
■
Disconnect sensor cable connector from patient cable connector and reconnect
(recommended).
■
Verify proper sensor placement. Remove sensor from patient and reapply, if necessary.
■
Remove patient cable connector from the instrument and reconnect.
When high intensity extreme lights (including pulsating strobe lights) are directed at the sensor or other
sources of interference are present, cover the sensor by applying a Masimo Optical Light Shield.
CAUTIONS
■
DO NOT USE DAMAGED SENSORS. DO NOT USE A SENSOR WITH EXPOSED OPTICAL
OR ELECTRICAL COMPONENTS. DO NOT IMMERSE THE SENSOR IN WATER, SOLVENTS,
OR CLEANING SOLUTIONS (THE SENSORS AND CONNECTORS ARE NOT WATERPROOF).
DO NOT STERILIZE BY IRRADIATION, STEAM, AUTOCLAVE OR ETHYLENE OXIDE UNLESS
OTHERWISE INDICATED IN THE SENSOR DIRECTIONS FOR USE. SEE THE CLEANING
INSTRUCTIONS IN THE DIRECTIONS FOR USE FOR ALL MASIMO REUSABLE SENSORS.
■
DO NOT USE DAMAGED PATIENT CABLES. DO NOT IMMERSE THE PATIENT CABLES IN
WATER, SOLVENTS, OR CLEANING SOLUTIONS (THE PATIENT CABLE CONNECTORS ARE NOT
WATERPROOF). DO NOT STERILIZE BY IRRADIATION, STEAM, AUTOCLAVE OR ETHYLENE OXIDE.
■
DO NOT ATTEMPT TO REPROCESS, RECONDITION OR RECYCLE MASIMO SENSORS OR
PATIENT CABLES AS THESE PROCESSES MAY DAMAGE THE ELECTRICAL COMPONENTS,
POTENTIALLY LEADING TO PATIENT HARM.
■
EXCESSIVE AMBIENT NOISE MAY AFFECT THE ACCURACY OF THE RESPIRATION
RATE READING FROM THE ACOUSTIC RESPIRATION SENSOR.
