Masimo SET SpO2: Indications and Contraindications
CAUTIONS
Loss of pulse signal can occur in any of the following situation:
 the sensor is too tight
 there is excessive illumination from light sources such as
surgical lamp, a bilirubin lamp, or sunlight
 a blood pressure cuff is inflated on the same extremity as
the one with a SpO
2
sensor attached
 the patient has hypotension, severe vasoconstriction,
severe anemia, or hypothermia
 there is arterial occlusion proximal to the sensor
 the patient is in cardiac arrest or is in shock
Sensors:
Before use, carefully read the Masimo sensor directions for use.
Use only Masimo oximetry sensors for SpO
2
measurements.
Other oxygen transducers (sensors) may cause improper SpO
2
performance.
Tissue damage can be caused by incorrect application or use
of a Masimo sensor, for example by wrapping the sensor too
tightly. Inspect the sensor site as directed in the sensor
Directions for Use to ensure skin integrity and correct
positioning and adhesion of the sensor.
Do not use damaged Masimo sensors. Do not use a Masimo
sensor with exposed optical components. Do not immerse the
sensor in water, solvents, or cleaning solutions (the sensors and
connectors are not waterproof). Do not sterilize by irradiation,
steam, or ethylene oxide. See the cleaning instructions in the
directions for use for reusable Masimo sensors.
Do not use damaged patient cables. Do not immerse the
patient cables in water, solvents, or cleaning solutions (the
patient cable connectors are not waterproof). Do not sterilize
by irradiation, steam, or ethylene oxide. See the cleaning
instructions in the directions for use for reusable Masimo
patient cables.
The use of accessories, transducers, and cables other than
those specified may result in increased emission and/or
decreased immunity and inaccurate readings of the monitor.
As with any clip-on sensor, pressure is exerted. The clinician
should be cautious in using a clip-on sensor on patients with
compromised circulation (e.g., because of peripheral vascular
disease or vasoconstricting medications).
Do not perform any testing or maintenance on a sensor while it
is being used to monitor a patient.
