shortly thereafter. To avoid shock, the caregiver should
not hold the oximeter while using a defibrillator on a
patient.
9 Disconnect the oximeter and sensor from the patient
throughout magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scanning.
Induced current could potentially cause burns.
10 To ensure accurate performance and prevent device
failure, do not subject the oximeter to extreme moisture,
such as direct exposure to rain. Such exposure may
cause inaccurate performance or device failure.
11 Do not lift the oximeter by the sensor or extension cable
because the cable could disconnect from the oximeter
and the oximeter may drop on the patient.
12 Do not make any clinical judgment based solely on the
oximeter. It is intended only as an adjunct in patient
assessment. It must be used in conjunction with clinical
signs and symptoms.
13 To ensure patient safety, do not place the oximeter in
any position that might cause it to fall on the patient.
14 As with all medical equipment, carefully route patient
cables to reduce the possibility of patient entanglement
or strangulation.
15 Ensure that the speaker is clear of any obstruction and
that the speaker holes are not covered. Failure to do so
could result in an inaudible alarm tone.
16 Use only sensors and extension cables permitted by the
manufacturer. Other sensors or extension cables may
be failed or cause improper monitor performance.
17 Oximeter readings and pulse signals can be affected by
certain ambient environmental conditions, sensor
application error, and certain patient conditions. See the
appropriate sections of the manual for specific safety
information.
18 Don't mix new and old batteries together. Don't mix
rechargeable batteries with alkaline batteries.
