This device is designed to determine the percentage of arterial
oxygen saturation of functional hemoglobin. Factors that may
degrade pulse oximeter performance or affect the accuracy of the
measurement include the following:
- excessive ambient light
- excessive motion
- electrosurgical interference
- blood flow restrictors (arterial catheters, blood pressure cuffs,
infusion lines, etc.)
- moisture in the sensor
- improperly applied sensor
- incorrect sensor type
- inadequate signal
- venous pulsations
- anemia or low hemoglobin concentrations
- cardiogreen and other intravascular dyes
- carboxyhemoglobin
- methemoglobin
- dysfunctional hemoglobin
- artificial nails or fingernail polish.
A functional tester cannot be used to assess the accuracy of a pulse
oximeter monitor or sensor.
All parts and accessories connected to the serial port of this device
must be certified according to at least IEC 60950 or UL1950 for data-
processing equipment.
This device is a precision electronic instrument and must be repaired
by trained Respironics personnel only.
Any sign or evidence of opening the system, field service by
non-Respironics personnel, tampering, or any kind of misuse or
abuse of the system, shall void the warranty in its entirety.
Replace batteries within 30 seconds to avoid losing settings (date,
time, and patient data stored in memory) or corrupting data.
