Monitoring (LX-7230N)

CAUTION

 Precautions for Use of adhesive sensor, MAX-N

 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 optical alignment. 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.

 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.

 If the sensor is wrapped too tightly or supplemental tape is applied,

venous pulsations may lead to inaccurate saturation measurements.

 Excessive motion may compromise performance. In such cases, try to

keep the patient still, or change the sensor site to one with less

motion.

 Intravascular dyes or externally applied coloring such as nail polish,

dye, or pigmented cream may lead to inaccurate measurements.

 Do not pull the sensor cable to remove the sensor from the device.

 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 with Nellcor-compatible device, refer to each SpO

sensor

instruction manual.
