sensors & patient cables
Introduction
This section covers the use and cleaning of Masimo sensors and patient cables.
Before use of any sensor, carefully read the sensor’s Directions for Use.
Use only Masimo oximetry sensors and cables for SpO
2
, SpCO and SpMet measure-
ments. Other oxygen transducers or sensors may cause improper Radical-7 Pulse
CO-Oximeter performance.
Tissue damage can be caused by incorrect application or use of a sensor, for example
by wrapping the sensor too tightly. Inspect the sensor site as directed in the sensor
Directions for Use to ensure skin integrity, correct positioning and adhesion of the sen-
sor.
CAUTIONS:
■ DO NOT USE DAMAGED SENSORS OR PATIENT CABLES. DO NOT USE A
SENSOR OR PATIENT CABLE WITH EXPOSED OPTICAL OR ELECTRICAL
COMPONENTS.
■ DO NOT IMMERSE THE SENSOR OR PATIENT CABLE IN WATER, SOLVENTS,
OR CLEANING SOLUTIONS (THE SENSORS AND CONNECTORS ARE NOT
WATERPROOF).
■ UNLESS OTHERWISE SPECIFIED, DO NOT STERILIZE SENSORS OR PATIENT
CABLES BY IRRADIATION, STEAM, AUTOCLAVE OR ETHYLENE OXIDE. SEE
THE CLEANING INSTRUCTIONS IN THE DIRECTIONS FOR USE FOR REUS-
ABLE MASIMO SENSORS.
■ DO NOT REPROCESS ANY MASIMO SET PATIENT CABLES OR SINGLE USE
SENSORS.
■ ALL SENSORS AND CABLES ARE DESIGNED FOR USE WITH SPECIFIC
MONITORS. VERIFY THE COMPATIBILIY OF THE MONITOR, CABLE AND
SENSOR BEFORE USE, OTHERWISE PATIENT INJURY CAN RESULT.
SELECTING A MASIMO SET SENSOR
When selecting a sensor, consider, the patient’s weight, the adequacy of perfusion, the
available sensor sites, and the duration of monitoring. For more information refer to the
following table or contact your Sales Representative. Use only Masimo sensors and sen-
sor cables. Select an appropriate sensor, apply it as directed, and observe all warnings
and cautions presented in the Directions for Use accompanying the sensor.
High intensity extreme lights (such as pulsating strobe lights) directed on the sensor, may not
allow the sensor to obtain vital sign readings. 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 the
sensor. To prevent interference from ambient light, ensure that the sensor is properly
applied, and cover the sensor site with opaque material, if required. Failure to take this
precaution in high ambient light conditions may result in inaccurate measurements.
SENSOR APPLICATION INSTRUCTIONS
Unless indicated otherwise in the directions for use, reposition reusable sensors at least
every 4 hours and for adhesive sensors inspect the site at least every 8 hours or sooner. If
indicated by circulatory condition or skin integrity, reapply to a different monitoring site.
