Precautions
SpO2
Use only NONIN
TM
SpO2 sensors specified for VISION TelePak.
Incorrect sensor application or use may cause tissue damage or improper operation of the
transmitter. Follow directions for use provided.
Incident light, poor perfusion, and other factors may affect SpO2 performance and accuracy.
Inaccurate measurements or loss of pulse signal may be caused by:
• Incorrect sensor application or use.
• Significant levels of dysfunctional hemoglobins (HbCO or MetHb).
• Intravascular dyes such as indocyanine green or methylene blue.
• Darkly pigmented skin or nail polish.
• Exposure to excessive illumination, such as surgical lamps (especially ones with a
xenon light source), bilirubin lamps, fluorescent lights, infrared heating lamps, or
direct sunlight. Exposure to illumination can be corrected by covering sensor with
a dark or opaque material.
• Excessive patient movement.
• Venous pulsations
• Placement of a sensor on an extremity with a blood pressure cuff, arterial catheter,
or intravascular line.
• Hypotension, severe vasoconstriction, severe anemia, or hypothermia.
• Arterial occlusion proximal to sensor.
• Patient in shock.
For continuous SpO2 monitoring, high and low alarms must be set and monitored at the ESCORT
Vision central station.
Use only NONIN manufactured PureLight
®
pulse oximeter sensors. These sensors are
manufactured to meet the accuracy specifications for NONIN pulse oximeters. Using other
manufacturers’ sensors can result in improper pulse oximeter performance.
As with all medical equipment, carefully route cables and connections to reduce the possibility of
entanglement or strangulation.
This device should not be used adjacent to or stacked with other equipment. If adjacent or stacked
use is necessary, the device should be observed carefully to verify normal operation.
The Xpod has motion tolerant software that minimizes the likelihood of motion artifact being
misinterpreted as good pulse quality. In some circumstances, however, the Xpod may still
interpret motion as good pulse quality.
Inspect the sensor application site at least every six (6) to eight (8) hours to ensure correct sensor
alignment and skin integrity. Patient sensitivity may vary due to medical status or skin condition.
Discontinue use of adhesive tape strips if the patient exhibis an allergic reaction to the adhesive
material.
This product will perform in conformity with the description thereof contained in this operating
manual and accompanying labels and/or inserts, when assembled, operated, maintained, and repaired
in accordance with the instructions provided.
