DS100A DS-100A Patient Monitor Accessories Reusable Non Sterile Adult SpO2 Sensor

COVIDIEN Nellcorr ™ Durasensor Reusable (nonsterile) Adult SpO2 Sensor DS100A DS-100A

► Brief Introduction

Nellcorr™ adhesive pulse oximetry sensors are intended for single-patient use only. Do not reuse pulse oximetry sensors.

When selecting a Nellcorr™ pulse oximetry sensor, consider the following items: patient’s weight and activity level, the adequacy of perfusion, and the available sensor sites, the need for sterility, and the anticipated duration of monitoring.

Use the Nellcorr™ pulse oximetry interface cable to connect the pulse oximetry sensor to the monitoring system.

► Usage

Select an appropriate Nellcorr pulse oximetry sensor, apply it as directed, and observe all warnings and cautions presented in the Instructions for Use accompanying the sensor. Clean and remove any substances such as nail polish from the application site. Periodically check to ensure that the sensor remains properly positioned on the patient.

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 Performance Considerations the performance of a Nellcorr™ pulse oximetry sensor. To prevent interference from ambient light, ensure that the sensor is properly applied, and cover the sensor site with opaque material.

If patient activity presents a problem, try one or more of the following remedies to correct the problem.

• Verify the Nellcorr™ pulse oximetry sensor is properly and securely applied.
• Move the sensor to a less active site.
• Use an adhesive sensor that improves patient skin contact.
• Use a new sensor with fresh adhesive backing.
• Keep the patient still, if possible.

► Inaccurate Sensor Measurement Conditions

A variety of conditions can cause inaccurate Nellcorr pulse oximetry sensor measurements.

• Incorrect application of the pulse oximetry sensor
• Placement of the pulse oximetry sensor on an extremity with a blood pressure cuff, arterial catheter, or intravascular line
• Ambient light
• Failure to cover the pulse oximetry sensor site with opaque material in high ambient light conditions
• Excessive patient activity
• Dark skin pigment
• Intravascular dyes or externally applied coloring, such as nail polish or pigmented cream

► Signal Loss

Loss-of-pulse signal can occur for several reasons.

• Pulse oximetry sensor applied too tightly
• Inflation of a blood pressure cuff on the same extremity as the attached pulse oximetry sensor
• Arterial occlusion proximal to the pulse oximetry sensor
• Poor periPhilipiliperal perfusion
