Vpod Instruction Manual
3
When connecting this oximeter to any instrument, verify proper operation before clinical use. Refer
to the instrument’s user manual for full instructions. The equipment connected to the pulse
oximeter’s data interface must be certified according to the respective IEC standards, i.e., IEC950
for data processing equipment or IEC 601-1 for medical electrical equipment. All combinations of
equipment must be in compliance with IEC601-1-1 systems requirements.
The physiological data and alarm messages displayed on the equipment are for reference only and
cannot be directly used for diagnostic interpretation.
Worn-out data cables may also cause inaccurate data, so if the data is used as a reference to treat a
patient, pay special attention to data cable and check it more frequently.
When using the equipment with electrosurgical units (ESU), make sure the patient is safe.
Do not come into contact with the patient during defibrillation. Otherwise serious injury or death
could result.
Single-use accessories should never be reused.
Precautions
Autoclaving, ethylene oxide sterilizing, or immersing the sensors in liquid may cause inaccurate
readings.
The operator must be thoroughly familiar with the information in this manual before using the device.
Unplug the sensor from the oximeter before cleaning or disinfecting it.
If liquid is accidentally spilled on the unit, clean and dry thoroughly before reuse.
Do not try to use the SpO
2
and NIBP measurement on the same arm at the same time. This could
potentially affect measurement accuracy.
Notices
Operation of this device in an electromagnetic field may influence its accuracy.
SpO
2
measurements may be influenced by high ambient light, especially sunlight. Shield the sensor
area if necessary.
Dyes introduced into the bloodstream, such as methylene blue, indocyanine green, indigo carmine,
and fluorescein, may influence the accuracy of the SpO
2
reading.
Any condition that restricts blood flow, such as use of a blood pressure cuff or extremes in systemic
vascular resistance, may cause a failure to determine accurate pulse rate and SpO
2
readings.
Remove fingernail polish or artificial fingernails before applying SpO
2
sensors. Fingernail polish or
artificial fingernails may cause inaccurate SpO
2
readings.
Optical cross-talk can occur when two or more sensors are located in adjoining areas. It can be
eliminated by covering each site with opaque material. Optical cross-talk may adversely affect the
accuracy of the SpO
2
readings.
Obstructions or dirt on the sensor’s red light or detector may cause a sensor failure. Make sure there
are no obstructions and the sensor is clean.
For routine equipment maintenance, please refer to the service procedures at the associated section
as indicated in the manual.
As to the other concerns for attention, please carefully look through the specific chapter in this
instruction.
