NOTE
•
Be sure that the sensor cable is positioned along the side of the animal’s face and
body to avoid entanglement with the animal.
12.2.4 Measurement Limitations
If the accuracy of any measurement does not seem reasonable, first check the patient’s vital
signs by an alternate method. Then check the instrument for proper function. Inaccurate
measurements may be caused by:
•
Improper SpO2 sensor;
•
High-frequency electrical noise, including noise created by the host system, or noise
from external sources, such as electrosurgical apparatus connected to the system;
•
Oximeters and oximetry sensors used during magnetic resonance imaging (MRI)
scanning. Induced current could potentially cause burns;
•
Intravascular dye injections;
•
Excessive patient motion;
•
Excessive ambient light;
•
Improper sensor installation or incorrect sensor placement on the patient
•
Sensor temperature (optimal temperature is between 28. and 40.);
•
The sensor is placed on a limb that is attached to a blood pressure cuff, arterial catheter,
or intravascular line;
