Product Manual

CAUTION Do not modify or alter the sensor in any way. Alterations or

modification may affect performance and/or accuracy.

1. Verify that the sensor cable is connected to the monitor.

WARNING Patient injury risk. The sensor and extension

cable are intended only for connection to pulse oximetry

equipment. Do not attempt to connect these cables to a PC

or any similar device. Always follow the sensor

manufacturer's directions for care and use of the sensor.

2. Clean the application site. Remove anything, such as nail polish, that could interfere

with sensor operation.

Note Do not use disposable sensors on patients who have allergic

reactions to the adhesive.

3. Attach the sensor to the patient according to the manufacturer's directions for use,

observing all warnings and cautions.

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 Consult the sensor manufacturer's instructions for selecting

the correct sensor.

4. Confirm that the monitor displays SpO2 and pulse rate data within 6 seconds after

connecting the sensor 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 acquired from the sensor. If

SpO2 is not available, the pulse rate is acquired from NIBP. The monitor identifies SpO2

or NIBP as the pulse rate source.

An alarm sounds If you detach the sensor during a measurement in intervals mode.

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.

Pulse rate frame

The pulse rate frame is located in the upper right of the Home tab. The pulse rate frame

displays data, information, and the controls used in reading pulse rates.

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

pulse rate is derived from NIBP or manually obtained.

The source of the pulse rate is displayed beneath the numeric representation of the

pulse rate.
