3. EEG/PSG MEASUREMENT
3.18 Operator's Manual WEE-1000
• Use the disposable probe only once and for one patient only. Do not
reuse the disposable probe for another patient. It will cause cross
infection.
• When the attachment site is wet with blood or when the patient has
nail polish on, remove the dirt and nail polish before attaching the
probe. The transmitted light may decrease due to the blood or nail
polish and the measurement data may be incorrect.
• Turn off the power of cellular telephones, small wireless devices and
other devices which produce strong electromagnetic interference.
Otherwise, the waveforms and measurements are affected by
interference and the displayed data may be incorrect.
• Under normal conditions, normal light has negligible effect on this
probe. However, when measuring under strong light (surgical light,
bilirubin light, sunlight, etc.), cover the probe with a blanket or cloth.
Otherwise, the measurement result may be incorrect.
• If the skin gets irritated or redness appears on the skin by the probe,
change the attachment site or stop using the probe.
• For long term monitoring, check the circulation condition by
observing the skin color of the measuring site. To avoid circulation
insufficiency and skin burn, change the measurement site every
specified number of hours. Refer to the operator’s manual of the
probe.
• Do not pull or bend the probe cable, and do not let caster feet run
over the probe cable. Do not immerse the probe cable in chemical
solutions or water. Failure to follow these cautions may cause cable
discontinuity, short circuit, skin burn on the patient and incorrect
measurement data. Replace any broken probe with a new one.
• When removing a probe that is taped to the skin, do not pull the
cable part of the probe because this can damage the probe’s cable
connection.
• While a patient is on medication which causes vasodilation, the pulse
waveform may change and in rare case SpO
2
value may not be
displayed.
Attaching the Probe
For the attaching procedure, refer to the operator’s manual of the probe.
