13-4 Dash 2500 Patient Monitor 2042480-001 C
MASIMO SET® SpO2: Indications and Contraindications
Indications and Contraindications
The SpO
2
parameter is indicated for use in continuous, noninvasive monitoring
of functional oxygen saturation and in providing pulse rate data as a
component of the Dash 2500 Patient Monitor. This device is not designed, sold,
or intended for use except as indicated.
WARNINGS
Do not use the SpO
2
parameter during magnetic resonance
imaging (MRI). Adverse reactions include potential burns to
patients as a result of contact with attachments heated by the
MRI radio frequency pulse, potential degradation of the
magnetic resonance image, and potential reduced accuracy of
SpO
2
measurements. Always remove oximetry devices and
attachments from the MRI environment before scanning a
patient.
The use of cardio-green and other intravascular dyes at certain
concentrations may affect the accuracy of the SpO
2
measurement.
The SpO
2
parameter is calibrated to read functional arterial
oxygen saturation. Significant levels of dysfunctional
hemoglobins such as carboxyhemoglobin or methemoglobin
may affect the accuracy of the SpO
2
measurement.
A functional tester cannot be used to assess the accuracy of a
pulse oximeter probe or a pulse oximeter monitor.
