Philips M1191B Before Applying the Sensor, Sensor Disposal, Change Application Site Periodically

Before Applying the Sensor

Be sure to read and understand all Warnings listed in your SpO2 monitoring instrument IFU, as well as all Warnings described in this sensor IFU. Use sensors only with validated Instruments and at a recommended patient application area.

Inspect Sensor for Damage

•Inspect the sensor outside and inside. To check the inside, gently open the sensor cavity and check for splits on or next to the transparent silicone that covers the optical elements. Be sure there are no blisters on the silicone, and no liquid leaking from sensor optics.

•Any sensor showing signs of damage or alteration must not be used for further patient monitoring; instead, dispose of it using proper disposal procedures (see below).

Any sensor showing signs of physical or electrical deterioration or failure should be disinfected, decontaminated, and disposed of according to local laws regarding the disposal of hospital waste.

Change Application Site Periodically
