12.4.6 Accessories
If your monitor is equipped with a Nellcor SpO
2
module, use only Nellcor oximetry
sensors for SpO
2
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 in compliance with
ISO 10993-1, Biological Evaluation of Medical Devices, Part 1: Evaluation and
Testing. The sensors have passed the recommended biocompatibility testing and are
therefore in compliance with ISO 10993-1.
Before attempting to clean a SpO
2
sensor, read the directions for use enclosed with
the sensor. Each sensor model has cleaning instructions specific to that sensor.
WARNING
z 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.
