Contraindications - Masimo M-LNCS Serie Mode D'emploi

M-LNCS®, LNCS® Series,
DCI® & DCI-P
Adult & Pediatric Reusable Finger Sensor
Reusable
INDICATIONS
When used with Masimo SET®:
The M-LNCS®, LNCS® DCI® and DCI-P reusable sensors are indicated for either "spot check" or continuous noninvasive
monitoring of functional oxygen saturation of arterial hemoglobin (SpO
for use with adult and pediatric patients during both no motion and motion conditions, and for patients who are well
or poorly perfused in hospitals, hospital-type facilities, mobile, and home environments.
When used with Nellcor® and Nellcor Compatible Pulse Oximeters:
The M-LNCS, LNCS DCI and DCI-P reusable sensors are indicated for either "spot check" or continuous noninvasive
monitoring of functional oxygen saturation of arterial hemoglobin (SpO
for use with adult and pediatric patients in hospitals, hospital-type facilities, mobile, and home environments.

CONTRAINDICATIONS

The DCI and DCI-P sensors are contraindicated for use on active patients or for prolonged periods of use. They are not
intended for long-term monitoring. They must be removed and repositioned to a different monitoring site at least
every four (4) hours. If extended monitoring is required, use of a M-LNCS or LNCS disposable sensor is recommended.
DESCRIPTION
The DCI and DCI-P are for use with devices containing Masimo SET oximetry or licensed to use M-LNCS, LNCS sensors
and also with Nellcor and Nellcor compatible pulse oximeters, except Nellcor OxiMax® enabled instruments. Consult
individual instrument manufacturer for compatibility of particular instrument and sensor models. Each instrument
manufacturer is responsible for determining whether its devices are compatible with each sensor model.
The DCI and DCI-P sensors have been verified with Masimo SET Oximetry Technology and on Nellcor's N-200 Pulse
Oximeter.
WARNING: Masimo sensors and cables are designed for use with devices containing Masimo SET® oximetry or licensed
to use Masimo sensors.
WARNINGS
• All sensors and cables are designed for use with specific monitors. Verify the compatibility of the monitor, cable
and sensor before use, otherwise degraded performance and/or patient injury can result.
• The sensor should be free of visible defects, discoloration and damage. If the sensor is discolored or damaged,
discontinue use. Never use a damaged sensor or one with exposed electrical circuitry.
• The site must be checked frequently or per clinical protocol to ensure adequate circulation, skin integrity and
correct optical alignment.
• Exercise extreme caution; skin erosion, tissue ischemia, and/or pressure necrosis can be caused when the sensor
is not frequently moved, applied too tightly, or becomes too tight due to edema. Assess site as frequently as every
(1) hour and move the sensor if there are signs of loss of skin integrity and/or loss of circulation or perfusion.
• Do not use tape to secure the sensor to the site; this can restrict blood flow and cause inaccurate readings. Use of
tape can cause skin damage, and/or pressure necrosis or damage the sensor.
• Carefully route sensor and patient cable to reduce the possibility of patient entanglement or strangulation.
• Misapplied sensors or sensors that become partially dislodged may cause incorrect readings.
• Misapplications due to wrong sensor types can cause inaccurate or no readings.
• Inaccurate SpO readings may be caused by abnormal venous pulsation or venous congestion.
2
• Venous congestion may cause under reading of actual arterial oxygen saturation. Therefore, assure proper venous
outflow from monitored site. Sensor should not be below heart level (e.g. sensor on hand of a patient in a bed
with arm dangling to the floor).
• Venous pulsations may cause erroneous low SpO
• The pulsations from intra-aortic balloon support can affect the pulse rate displayed on the oximeter. Verify patient's
pulse rate against the ECG heart rate.
• Avoid placing the sensor on any extremity with an arterial catheter or blood pressure cuff.
• If using pulse oximetry during full body irradiation, keep the sensor out of the radiation field. If sensor is exposed
to the radiation, the reading might be inaccurate or not provided for the duration of the active radiation.
