Instructions for Adult SpO
Intended Use
Must used with a compatible patient monitor or a pulse oximeter device. This SpO
continuous, non-invasive functional arterial oxygen saturation (SpO
greater than 50kg.
Contraindications
This sensor is contraindicated for use on active patients or for prolonged use.
Instructions for Use
1) Hold the sensor with its opening towards the patient's index finger (A). The sensor should be oriented in such a
way that the sensor side with a finger tip sign is positioned on the top.
2) Insert the patient's index finger into the sensor until the fingernail tip rests against the stop at the end of the
sensor. Adjust the finger to be placed evenly on the middle base of the sensor. Direct the cable along the top of
the patient's hand. Apply adhesive tape to secure the cable (B). If an index finger cannot be positioned
correctly, or is not available, other fingers can be used.
3) Plug the sensor into the oximeter and verify proper operation as described in the oximeter operator's manual.
4) Inspect the monitoring site every 4 hours for skin integrity.
Cleaning &
Disinfection
Unplug the sensor before cleaning or disinfecting. Surface-clean sensor and cable with a soft gauze pad by saturating
it with a solution such as 70% isopropyl alcohol. If low-level disinfection is required, use a 1:10 bleach solution.
Caution: Do not sterilize by irradiation steam, or ethylene oxide.
Warnings
1) This sensor is for use only with compatible patient monitors or pulse oximeter devices. Use of this sensor with
instruments other than compatibles may result in improper performance.
2) Some factors may affect the accuracy of saturation measurements. Such factors include: excessive patient
movement, fingernail polish, use of intravascular dyes, excessive light, poorly perfused finger, extreme finger
sizes or improper placement of the sensor.
3) The sensor site must be checked for skin integrity at least every 4 hours. Because individual skin condition
affects the ability of the skin to tolerate sensor placement, it may be necessary to change the sensor to another
finger.
4) Do not use NIBP or other constructing instruments on same appendage as sensor for blood flow interrupted by
NIBP cuff or circulatory patient condition will result in no pulse found or loss of pulse. Do not use the sensor
during MRI scanning.
5) Carefully route cables to reduce the possibility of patient entanglement or strangulation.
6) Do not alter or modify the sensor. Alterations or modifications may affect performance or accuracy.
7) Do not use the sensor if the sensor or the sensor cable appears damaged.
