Masimo Pulse CO-Oximetry Sensors
Before use, carefully read the Masimo sensor Directions for Use.Use only Masimo sensors for
pulse oximetry or pulse CO-Oximetry measurements. Tissue damage can be caused by incorrect
application or use of a sensor, for example by wrapping the sensor too tightly. Inspect the sensor
site as directed in the sensor's Directions for Use to ensure skin integrity and correct positioning
and adhesion of the sensor.
If a Masimo Rainbow Direct Connect Reusable Sensor is being used and “SpO2 Only Mode”
appears on the LCD display screen, perform one of the following steps to obtain Rainbow values:
■ Remove the sensor from the patient and properly reapply (recommended).
■ Remove the cable connector from the instrument and reconnect.
■ Turn the power off and on at the instrument.
If a Masimo Rainbow Adhesive Sensor is being used and “SpO2 Only Mode” appears on the
display screen, perform one of the following steps to to obtain Rainbow values:
■ Disconnect sensor cable connector from patient cable connector and reconnect
(recommended).
■ Verify proper sensor placement. Remove sensor from patient and reapply, if necessary.
■ Remove patient cable connector from the instrument and reconnect.
When high intensity extreme lights (including pulsating strobe lights) are directed at the sensor or other
sources of interference are present, cover the sensor by applying a Masimo Optical Light Shield.
Masimo Acoustic Respiration Sensors
Before use, carefully read the Masimo Acoustic Respiration Sensor's Directions for Use. When
monitoring Acoustic Respiration rate only (RRa mode) and the patient is within alarm limits, the
Rad-87 will do the following:
■ RRa sensor calibration: RI and SIQa will be green.
■ Post RRa sensor calibration: RI and SIQa will be orange.
■ System Status Light: yellow.
NOTE: The lights will stay orange until monitoring is completed or an SpO
2
sensor is placed
on the patient and active monitoring begins.
NOTE: SpO
2
monitoring is required when monitoring RRa (Acoustic Respiration).
CAUTIONS
• Do not use damaged sensors. Do not use a sensor with exposed optical or electrical
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, autoclave or ethylene oxide unless otherwise indicated in the sensor's
Directions for Use. See the cleaning instructions in the Directions for Use.
• 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, autoclave or ethylene oxide.
• Do not attempt to reprocess, recondition or recycle Masimo sensors or patient
cables as these processes may damage the electrical components, potentially
