PULSE OXIMETER INSTRUCTION MANUAL

5.1.1

Instrument performance depends on the pulsatile character

of the artery. The display would not be considered reliable

and accurate if the following conditions are present during

measurement.

• Shock or cardiac arrest

• Temperature of the unit

• After the administration of a cardiovascular drug

• Anemia

• Evidence of ventilation-perfusion mismatch

5.1.2

Instrument performance depends on the wavelength

absorption for oxyhemoglobin and deoxyhemoglobin. If

there are substances absorbing the same wavelength, this

would induce false or low SpO

2 values. The following may

aect these values:

• carboxyhemoglobin

• methemoglobin

• methylene blue

• Indigo carmine

5.1.3

Extremely high illumination could aect the SpO2 measurement.

Use a semi-translucent or opaque cover to shield the sensor.
