often hidden conditions of carboxyhemoglobinemia (carbon monoxide poisoning) and
methemoglobinemia (a condition that impedes delivery of oxygen to the tissues). Low levels of
both SpCO and SpMet are normally found in the blood; however, early detection of significantly
high levels can lead to proper diagnosis and treatment, and can help improve patient outcome.
Pulse oximetry is a tool to be used in addition to patient assessment. Care should be taken to
assess the patient at all times; do not rely solely on the SpO
2
, SpCO, and SpMet measurements.
If a trend toward patient deoxygenation is evident or carbon monoxide poisoning or
methemoglobinemia is suspected, blood samples should also be analyzed using laboratory
instruments to completely understand the patient’s condition.
Do not use the pulse oximeter to monitor patients for apnea, or as a replacement or substitute
for ECG-based arrhythmia analysis.
Indications
Pulse oximetry is indicated for use in any patient who is at risk of developing hypoxemia,
carboxyhemoglobinemia, or methemoglobinemia. SpO
2
monitoring may be used during no
motion and motion conditions, and in patients who are well or poorly perfused. SpCO and
SpMet accuracies have not been validated under motion or low perfusion conditions.
Contraindications
None known.
SpO2, SpCO, and SpMet Warnings and Cautions
Shock or Burn Hazard
Before use, carefully read these operating instructions,
the sensor and cable directions for use, and
precautionary information.
Shock or Burn Hazard
Using other manufacturers’ sensors or cables may
cause improper oximeter performance and invalidate
safety agency certifications. Use only sensors and
cables that are specified in these operating instructions.
Inaccurate Pulse Oximeter Readings
Do not use a damaged sensor or cable. Do not alter the
sensor or cable in any way. Alterations or modification
may affect performance and/or accuracy. Never use
more than one cable between the pulse oximeter and
the sensor to extend the length.
