10-8 CARESCAPE V100 Vital Signs Monitor 2036991-001C
Masimo SET SpO2: Procedures
2. Following the directions for use supplied with the sensor, apply the sensor to
the patient.
WARNINGS
Patient safety:
If you fail to apply the sensor properly, the patient’s skin could
be injured or the ability of the V100 Monitor to measure oxygen
saturation could be compromised. For example, a clip-on
sensor should never be taped shut. Taping the sensor could
damage the patient’s skin or impair the venous return, thus
causing venous pulsation and inaccurate measurement of
oxygen saturation.
Excessive pressure from the sensor may cause necrosis of the
skin.
Monitor performance:
When an SpO
2
sensor is on a limb that has a blood pressure
cuff, the SpO
2
data will not be valid when the cuff is inflated. If
SpO
2
readings are required during the entire blood pressure
determination, attach the SpO
2
sensor to the limb opposite the
one with the blood pressure cuff.
Remove nail polish and artificial nails. Placing a sensor on a
polished or an artificial nail may affect accuracy.
CAUTIONS
Patient safety:
Do not place any clip-on sensor in a patient’s mouth or on a
patient’s nose or toe.
Do not place a clip-on finger sensor on a patient’s thumb or
across a child’s foot or hand.
Observe the sensor site to assure adequate distal circulation.
Sensor sites should be checked at least every 2 hours and
rotated at least every 4 hours.
Monitor performance:
Placing a sensor distal to an arterial line may interfere with
adequate arterial pulsation and compromise the measurement
of SpO
2
.
Place the sensor so that the LEDs and the photodiode are
opposite each other.
3. Plug the SpO
2
sensor into the SpO
2
sensor extension cable. Then plug the
SpO
2
sensor extension cable into the SpO
2
sensor connector.
4. Proceed with monitoring. SpO
2
measurements run continuously and can
run simultaneously with other measurements.
