Warning: Remove nail polish or false nails before placing the sensor on the
patient’s finger, as they could lead to inaccurate oximeter
measurements. Cut long nails, as they could hinder the placing of
the sensor.
Warning: If the sensor is secured with tape, do not tighten the tape
excessively. If the tape is too tight, it may affect the measurement
accuracy of the device and blisters may form on the patient’s skin
(due to the lack of circulation in the skin and not because of a
source of heat).
Caution: Do not place the sensor on an extremity with an invasive probe or
a blood pressure cuff.
Caution: Do not place the cuff on the same limb that the oxygen saturation
is being measured, as it could disrupt the correct determination of
the data (resistance that hinders the blood flow).
Warning: The oximeter measurement may be modified by the presence of
strong ambient light. Cover the sensor (e.g. with a surgical sheet) if
required.
Warning: The incorrect application or improper use of the sensor can lead to
measurement inaccuracies, as can the presence of significant
levels of dysfunctional haemoglobins (e.g. carboxyhaemoglobin or
methaemoglobin) or intravascular dyes such as indocyanine green
or methylene blue, the exposure to excessive light such as with
surgical lamps (especially lamps with xenon sources), bilirubin
lights, fluorescent lamps, infrared heating lamps or direct sunlight,
excessive movement by the patient, vein pulsations, the installation
of a sensor on a limb with a blood pressure cuff, an arterial probe
or an intravascular line.
Warning: In some cases, when the perfusion and signal are weak, e.g. with
patients with a thick or dark skin, the device may produce
abnormally low oximeter readings. Oxygenation should be verified
before starting therapies and interventions, especially in preterm
babies and patients with chronic lung diseases.
Warning: It often happens that patients suffer from low peripheral perfusion
due to hypothermia, hypovolaemia, serious vasoconstriction or
reduced cardiac output etc. These symptoms may lead to a loss in
the oximeter readings.
Warning: The temperature of the patient and the room must not be too low
since it will affect the measurement outcome.
Caution: Do not use the oximeter alone while monitoring vital parameters.
