11.4 Instructions for SpO
Intended Use
Must be used with a compatible patient monitor or a pulse oximeter device. The sensor is intended to be used for
continuous, non-invasive functional arterial oxygen saturation (SpO
kg).
Contraindications
This sensor is contraindicated for use on active patients or for prolonged use.
Instructions for Use
1) Insert the two sensor tips into the slots on the rubber wrap (A); place the sensor on the neonate's foot, or place
the sensor on the neonate's palm(B), and wrap the rubber belt around the foot/palm and tighten accordingly .
2) Plug the sensor into the oximeter and verify proper operation as described in the oximeter operator's manual.
3) 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.
Warnings
1) Some factors may affect the accuracy of saturation measurements. Such factors include: excessive
2) 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 must be checked for skin integrity at least every 4 hours as individual skin conditions affects the
ability of the skin to tolerate sensor placement, it may be necessary to change the sensor site.
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.
5) Do not use the sensor during MRI scanning. 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.
Caution: Do not sterilize by irradiation steam, or ethylene oxide.
