Sensors and Accessories
WARNING: Tissue damage can be caused by incorrect
application or duration of use of an SpO2 sensor. Inspect the
sensor site as directed in the sensor directions for use.
High ambient light sources such as surgical lights (especially
those with a xenon light source), bilirubin lamps, fluorescent
lights, infrared heating lamps, and direct sunlight can interfere
with the performance of an SpO
2 sensor. To prevent interference
from ambient light, ensure that the sensor is properly applied, and
cover the sensor site with opaque material.
Note: Failure to take this precaution in high ambient light
conditions may result in inaccurate measurements.
If patient movement presents a problem, try one or more of the
following remedies to correct the problem.
• verify that the sensor is properly and securely applied
• move the sensor to a less active site
• use an adhesive sensor that tolerates some patient motion
• use a new sensor with fresh adhesive backing
If poor perfusion affects performance, consider using the
Oxisensor R-15 sensor; it obtains measurements from the nasal
septal anterior ethmoid artery, an artery supplied by the internal
carotid. This sensor may obtain measurements when peripheral
perfusion is relatively poor. For low peripheral perfusion,
consider using the Nellcor RS-10 sensor, which is applied to the
forehead or temple. These are sites that may be spared during
peripheral vasoconstriction.
WALL MOUNT PLATE
A wall mount plate is available by contacting Mallinckrodt
Technical Services or your local Mallinckrodt representative.
The wall mount plate fits standard, commercially available GCX
Poly-mount brackets, and is used to securely mount the monitor
to a wall.
