Warnings

•These sensors are for use only with Philips/Agilent/HP instruments. Before using, verify the combination of instrument/sensor is specified in the instrument’s user documentation (e.g. Instructions for Use); otherwise patient injury may result.

•Pulse oximetry measurements are statistically distributed. Two-thirds of all pulse oximetry measurements can be expected to fall within the stated accuracy (refer to Specifications later in this IFU for stated sensor accuracy).

•Connect the sensor only to the SpO2 connection or the SpO2 adapter cable of the oximeter.

•Do not reuse the sensor on a different patient until it has been disinfected. The sensor can be reused on the same patient for the patient’s entire stay.

•At elevated ambient temperatures, patient skin could be severely burned after prolonged sensor application at sites that are not well perfused. To prevent this condition, be sure to check patient application sites frequently. All listed sensors operate without risk of exceeding 41o C on the skin if the initial skin temperature does not exceed 35o C.

•Be sure to apply the sensor to the patient at the preferred or alternative application site, while following application instructions provided later in this document. Failure to do so can cause inaccurate measurements.

•To avoid venous pulsation, obstructed circulation, pressure marks, pressure necrosis, artifacts and inaccurate measurements, make sure you are using a sensor of the correct size and that the sensor is not too tight. If the sensor is too tight, because the application site is too large or becomes too large due to edema, the excessive pressure applied may result in venous congestion distal from the application site, leading to interstitial edema and tissue ischemia.

•If the sensor is applied too loose it may fall off or compromise proper alignment of sensor optics and result in inaccurate readings.
