These sensors require the use of an extension cable (product code 919200) for a
proper connection to the device.
The same sensors are also available with a microconnector for a direct connection.
Prolonged use and/or the patient‟s condition may require changing the sensor site
periodically. Change sensor site and check skin integrity, blood circulation, and correct
sensor alignment at least every 4 hours.
WARNING
Incorrectly applied oximetry sensors or damaged cables may cause
inaccurate readings. Using a damaged oximetry sensor may cause
inaccurate readings, possibly resulting in patient injury or death. Inspect
each oximetry sensor before use.
If an oximetry sensor appears damaged, do not use it. Use another oximetry
sensor or contact your authorized repair center for assistance.
Use only MIR oximetry sensors supplied with, or specifically intended for use
with
SPIRODOC.
Use of oximetry sensors not intended for use with the
SPIRODOC
may cause inaccurate readings.
Oximetry measurements may be inaccurate in the presence of high ambient
light. Shield the sensor area (with a surgical towel, for example) if necessary.
WARNING
Dyes introduced into the bloodstream, such as methylene blue, indocyanine
green, indigo carmine, patent blue V (PBV), and fluorescein may adversely
affect the accuracy of the oximetry reading.
Any condition that restricts blood flow, such as the use of a blood pressure
cuff or a device for systemic vascular resistance, may cause an inability to
determine accurate pulse rate and SpO2 readings.
Remove fingernail polish and/or false fingernails before applying SpO2
sensors. Both may cause inaccurate oximetry measurement.
Significant levels of dysfunctional hemoglobins, such as carboxyhemoglobin
or methemoglobin, may adversely affect the accuracy of the oximetry
measurement.
Optical cross-talk can occur when two or more sensors are placed in close
proximity. Optical cross-talk may adversely affect the accuracy of the
oximetry readings. The danger can be eliminated by covering each site with
opaque material.
