Setting up the N-560
WARNING: Explosion hazard. Do not use the N-560 pulse
oximeter in the presence of flammable anesthetics or gases.
WARNING: Pulse oximetry readings and pulse signals can be
affected by certain ambient environmental conditions, sensor
application errors, and certain patient conditions. See the
appropriate sections of the manual for specific safety
information.
WARNING: To ensure patient safety, do not place the N-560 in
any position that might cause it to fall on the patient.
WARNING: As with all medical equipment, carefully route
patient cabling to reduce the possibility of patient
entanglement or strangulation.
WARNING: Disconnect the N-560 and Nellcor sensor from the
patient during magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scanning.
Induced current could potentially cause burns. The N-560 may
affect the MRI image; the MRI unit may affect the accuracy of
oximeter measurements.
WARNING: To ensure accurate performance and prevent device
failure, do not subject the N-560 to extreme moisture, such as
direct exposure to rain. Such exposure may cause inaccurate
performance or device failure.
