Product Manual

WARNING Patient injury risk. Exercise caution whe applying
a sensor to a patient with compromised skin integrity.
Applying tape or pressure to compromised sites can reduce
circulation and cause additional skin damage.
Note If a sterile sensor is required, select a sensor that has been
validated for sterilization, and follow the sensor
manufacturer's directions for sterilizing the sensor.
Place the sensor and the NIBP cuff on different limbs to reduce unnecessary alarms
when you monitor these parameters at the same time.
Note A range of sensors is available for different patient sizes and
measurement sites. Consult the sensor manufacturer's
instructions for selecting the correct sensor.
4. Confirm that the monitor displays SpO2 and pulse rate data within 15 seconds of
connection to the patient.
WARNING Patient injury risk. Incorrect sensor application or
excessive duration of sensor use can cause tissue damage.
Inspect the sensor site periodically as directed in the sensor
manufacturer's instructions.
While SpO2 is being measured, the displayed pulse rate is derived from the sensor. If
SpO2 is not available, the pulse rate is derived from NIBP.
In the Intervals and Continuous profiles, detaching the sensor during a measurement
triggers an alarm.
If SpO2 is being measured continuously on a patient for an extended period, change the
sensor location at least every three hours or as indicated by the sensor manufacturer's
instructions.
SpHb
Monitors configured with Masimo total hemoglobin can measure hemoglobin (SpHb),
SpO2, and pulse rate. SpHb monitoring continuously measures blood constituents and
anemic status in a patient through a noninvasive SpHb pulse co-oximeter.
SpHb frame
The SpHb frame displays data and controls used in total hemoglobin measurements.
Note SpHb is available only in the Intervals Monitoring and Continuous
Monitoring profiles.
In this frame, one of two labels appears:
•
SpHbv indicates the venous calibrated reference for total hemoglobin measurement.
• SpHb indicates the arterial calibrated reference for total hemoglobin measurement.
You can specify the reference source in Advanced settings.
The frame provides a numeric view and a graphical trend view of total hemoglobin data.
You can toggle between views by touching the left side of the frame.
