11-2 Passport 12/Passport 8 Operator’s Manual
11.2 Safety
WARNING
Use only SpO
2
sensors specified in this manual. Follow the SpO
2
sensor’s instructions for use and adhere to
all warnings and cautions.
When a trend toward patient deoxygenation is indicated, blood samples should be analyzed by a laboratory
co-oximeter to completely understand the patient’s condition.
The equipment is not intended for use in an MRI environment.
Prolonged continuous monitoring may increase the risk of undesirable changes in skin characteristics, such
as irritation, reddening, blistering or burns. Inspect the sensor site every two hours and move the sensor if
the skin quality changes. Change the application site every four hours. For neonates, or patients with poor
peripheral blood circulation or sensitive skin, inspect the sensor site more frequently.
11.3 Identifying SpO
2
Modules
To identify which SpO
2
module is incorporated into your monitor, see the color of the SpO
2
connector and the company
logo located at the monitor. The color of the cable connector matches the company as shown below:
Masimo SpO
2
module: a purple connector with a logo of Masimo SET.
Nellcor SpO
2
module: a grey connector with a logo of Nellcor.
The connectors for these three SpO
2
sensors are mutually exclusive.
11.4 Applying the Sensor
To apply the sensor:
1. Select an appropriate sensor according to the module type, patient category and weight.
2. Remove colored nail polish from the application site.
3. Apply the sensor to the patient.
4. Select an appropriate adapter cable according to the connector type and plug this cable into the SpO
2
connector.
5. Connect the sensor cable to the adapter cable.
WARNING
If the sensor is too tight because the application site is too large or becomes too large due to edema,
excessive pressure for prolonged periods may result in venous congestion distal from the application site,
leading to interstitial edema and tissue ischemia.
