CAUTION
If the sensor is damaged in any way, discontinue use immediately.
Carefully route cable and patient cable to reduce the possibility of patient
entanglement or strangulation.
Intravascular dyes may lead to inaccurate SpO
2
measurements.
Elevated levels of Carboxyhemoglobin (COHb) may lead to inaccurate SpO
2
measurements.
Elevated levels of Methemoglobin (MetHb) will lead to inaccurate SpO
2
measurements.
Failure to apply the LNCS TC-I properly may cause incorrect measurements.
Do not use the LNCS TC-I during MRI scanning.
If using pulse oximetry during full body irradiation, keep the sensor out of the
irradiation field. If sensor is exposed to the irradiation, the reading might be
inaccurate or the unit might read zero for the duration of the active irradiation
period.
The pulsations from intra-aortic balloon support can be additive to the pulse
rate on the oximeter pulse rate display. Verify patient's pulse rate against the
ECG heart rate.
Venous pulsations may cause erroneous low readings (e.g., tricuspid value
regurgitation, Trendelenberg position).
Do not modify or alter the sensor in any way. Alterations or modification may
affect performance and/or accuracy.
●Applying the LNCS Adtx, LNCS Pdtx, RD SET Adt, RD SET Pdt
1. Open the pouch and remove the sensor. Remove the backing from the
sensor, if present.
2. Orient the sensor cable so that the detector can be placed first. Place the
tip of the finger on the dashed line with the fleshy part of the finger
covering the detector window (Fig 1). Press the adhesive wings one at a
time onto the finger (Fig 2). Complete coverage of the detector window is
needed to ensure accurate data.
3. Fold the sensor over the finger with the emitter window (red star)
positioned over the fingernail. Secure the wings down one at a time
around the finger. When properly applied, the emitter and detector should
be vertically aligned (Fig 3).
Verify correct positioning and reposition if necessary (the black lines
should align).
