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.

5. Confirm that the monitor displays SpHb or SpHbv data after 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 SpHb is being measured, the displayed SpO2 and pulse rate are derived from the

same sensor. If SpO2 is not available, the pulse rate is derived from NIBP.

Detaching the sensor during a measurement triggers an alarm.

If SpHb 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.

Pulse rate frame

The Pulse rate frame displays data, information, and controls used in reading pulse rates.

Typically, the displayed pulse rate is derived from the SpO2 sensor. If SpO2 is not

available, the pulse rate is derived from NIBP.

WARNING Inaccurate measurement risk. Pulse rate measurements

generated through the blood pressure cuff or through SpO2 are subject to

artifact and might not be as accurate as heart rate measurements

generated through ECG or through manual palpation.

Note You can specify pulse tone volume in the Pulse rate vertical tab (located in

the Settings > Setup tab).
