12.3.6 Accessories
If your monitor is equipped with a Nellcor SpO2 module, use only Nellcor oximetry sensors
for SpO2 measurements. Other sensors may cause improper pulse oximeter performance.
Before use, carefully read the directions for the sensor. When selecting a sensor, consider, the
patient’s weight and motion, the adequacy of perfusion, the available sensor sites, and the
required disinfection.
Biocompatibility testing has been conducted on Nellcor sensors. The sensors have passed the
recommended biocompatibility testing.
Before attempting to clean a SpO2 sensor, read the directions for use enclosed with the
sensor.
Each sensor model has cleaning instructions specific to that sensor.
WARNING
•
Incorrect use of an oximetry sensor may cause damage to the patient’s muscle.
Verify the sensor site carefully according to the directions for use.
