• Physiological conditions that can significantly shift the oxygen disassociation
curve.
• A physiological condition that may effect vasomotor tone or changes in vasomotor
tone.

readings may be caused by:
• Elevated levels of COHb and/or MetHb.
• Severe anemia.
• Extremely low arterial perfusion.
• Excessive induced motion.
• Hemoglobinopathies (qualitative defects including sickle cell) and Hemoglobin
synthesis disorders (Quantitative defects such as Thalassemias).
WARNING: Inaccurate SpHb and SpOC readings may be caused by:
• Low arterial perfusion.
• Motion induced artifact.
• Low arterial oxygen saturation levels.
• Elevated COHb and/or MetHb levels.
• Hemoglobinopathies (qualitative defects including sickle cell) and Hemoglobin
synthesis disorders (quantitative defects such as Thalassemias).
• Severe anemia.
WARNING: Inaccurate SpCO readings may be caused by:
• Elevated methemoglobin levels in the range of >15%.
• Hemoglobinopathies (qualitative defects including sickle cell) and Hemoglobin
synthesis disorders (quantitative defects such as Thalassemias).
• Extremely elevated hemoglobin levels.
• Low arterial perfusion.
• Low arterial oxygen saturation levels including altitude induced hypoxemia.
• Motion induced artifact.
• Severe anemia.
WARNING: SpCO readings may not be provided if there are Low arterial oxygen saturation
levels or elevated methemoglobin levels.
WARNING: Inaccurate SpMet readings may be caused by:
• Elevated carboxyhemoglobin levels in the range of > 3%.
• Hemoglobinopathies (qualitative defects including sickle cell) and Hemoglobin
synthesis disorders (quantitative defects such as Thalassemias).
• Extremely elevated hemoglobin levels.
• Low arterial perfusion.
• Low arterial oxygen saturation levels including altitude induced hypoxemia.
