Selecting a Sensor
WARNING: Before use, carefully read the sensor directions for
use, including all warnings, cautions, and instructions.
WARNING: Do not use a damaged sensor or pulse oximetry
cable. Do not use a sensor with exposed optical components.
WARNING: Use only Nellcor sensors and pulse oximetry cables
with the N-560. Other sensors or pulse oximetry cables may
cause improper N-560 performance.
WARNING: Use only one pulse oximetry cable to increase the
length of the sensor. Use of more than one pulse oximetry
cable may have an adverse effect on performance. Do not
attach any cable that is intended for computer use to the
sensor port.
WARNING: Pulse oximetry readings and pulse signal can be
affected by certain ambient environmental conditions, sensor
application errors, and certain patient conditions.
WARNING: Tissue damage can be caused by incorrect
application or duration of use of an SpO2 sensor. Inspect the
sensor site as directed in the sensor directions for use.
