• Inaccurate measurements may be caused by:
- Significant levels of dysfunctional hemoglobins
(e.g., carboxyhemoglobin or methmoglobin).
- Intravascular dyes such as indocyanine green or
methylene blue.
- 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 excessive
illumination can be corrected by covering the sensor
with a dark or opaque material).
- Venous pulsations.
- Placement of a sensor on an extremity with a blood
pressure cuff, arterial catheter, or intravascular line.
• Do not use the oximetry sensors during MRI scanning.
Induced current could potentially cause burns.
• Tissue damage can be caused by incorrect application or
by wrapping the sensor too tightly for example. Inspect
the sensor site as directed in the sensor directions for use
to ensure skin integrity and to ensure correct positioning
and adhesion of the sensor.
• Applying an oximetry sensor incorrectly or leaving the
sensor in place for too long may cause tissue damage,
especially when monitoring neonates.
• Check the sensor site frequently, and do not allow the
sensor to remain on one site for too long. Refer to the
instructions from the sensor manufacturer for more
information.
• Do not use a sensor with exposed optical components.
