•
Explosion hazard: Do not use the Oxygen Assist Module in the presence of flammable
anesthetics or other flammable substance in combination with air, oxygen-enriched

means and then check the Oxygen Assist Module for proper functioning.

Inaccurate SpO
2
readings may be caused by:
◦
Improper sensor application and placement
◦
Elevated levels of COHb or MetHb: High levels of COHb or MetHb may occur with
a seemingly normal SpO
2
. When elevated levels of COHb or MetHb are suspected,
laboratory analysis (CO-Oximetry) of a blood sample should be performed.
◦
Elevated levels of bilirubin
◦
Elevated levels of dyshemoglobin
◦
Vasospastic disease, such as Raynaud’s, and peripheral vascular disease
◦
Hemoglobinopathies and synthesis disorders such as thalassemias, Hb s, Hb c, sickle cell, etc.
