5.1.4 Other factors
a) High-frequency electrosurgical interference from exter-
nal devices, including debrillators.
b) Placement of a sensor on an extremity that currently
has installed a blood pressure cu, arterial catheter, or
intravascular line;
c) The patient has hypotension, severe vasoconstriction,
severe anemia, or hypothermia;
d) An arterial occlusion proximal to the sensor.
WARNING!
• Use only SpO
2 sensors provided by manufacturer.
Other SpO2 sensors may cause improper performance.
• Do not use an SpO2 sensor with exposed
optical components.
• Excessive patient movement may cause inaccurate
measurements.
• Tissue damage can be caused by incorrect operation
or misusing sensor. Inspect the sensor site to ensure
the skin’s integrity and the adhesion position of the
sensor is correct. More frequent inspection should be
taken if necessary.
• Loss of pulse signal can occur in any of the following:
a) The sensor is too tight.
b) There is excessive illumination from light sources
such as a surgical lamp, a bilirubin lamp, or sunlight.
c) A blood pressure cu is inated on the same extremity
as the one to which an SpO
2 sensor is attached.
