Precautions for Use of adhe sive sensor, MAX-R
Do not reuse the sensor on other patients. This is a sterilized product and it
is intended for single patient use only.
Circulation distal on the sensor site should be checked routinely. The site
must be inspected every 8 hours to ensure adhesion, skin integrity, and
correct sensor site. If skin integrity changes, move the sensor to another site
Do not use the sensor on patients who exhibit allergic reactions to the
adhesive tape.
Do not get the acetone/alcohol cleaning solution in the patient’s eyes.
Failure to apply the sensor properly may cause incorrect measurements.
While the sensor is designed to reduce the effects of ambient light,
excessive light may cause inaccurate measurements. In such cases, cover
the sensor with an opaque material.
Intravascular dyes or externally applied coloring such as dye or pigmented
cream may lead to inaccurate measurements.
Take care when removing the MAX-R so that the adhesive does not
damage delicate facial tissue.
The MAX-R is not recommended for patients wearing oxygen or anesthesia
masks.
Excessive motion may compromise performance.
Do not pull the sensor cable to remove the sensor from the equipment.
In the event of damage to the sterile packaging, do NOT use. Make sure to
check whether the packaging and product is cracked or damaged before
use. If there is any damage.
Do not immerse in water or cleaning solutions. Do not resterilize.
For additional warnings, cautions or contraindications when using sensors
