CAUTION
NIBP and SpO
2
can be measured on
the same limb, but the SpO
2
monitoring might not be accurate
during NIBP measurement. Be careful
when reading the SpO
2
values.*
* Monitoring SpO
2
during NIBP Measurement
When the SpO
2
probe is attached to the
same limb as the NIBP cuff, the blood
owdecreasesduringNIBPmeasurement
and pulse wave cannot be detected and
SpO
2
cannot be monitored properly. When
“INHIBITSpO
2
DURING NIBP” on the
PARAMETER SETUP screen is set to ON
(factory default setting), SpO
2
monitoring is
paused during NIBP measurement to avoid
SpO
2
alarmoccurrence.However,when
monitoring SpO
2
on the same limb as the
NIBP, be careful when reading SpO
2
values.
CAUTION
While a patient is on medication which
causes vasodilation, the pulse
waveform may change and in rare
cases the SpO
2
value might not be
displayed.
CAUTION
Normal external light does not affect
monitoring but strong light such as a
surgical light or sunlight may affect
monitoring. If affected, cover the
measuring site with a blanket.
CAUTION
Do not use a probe which is
deteriorated by aging. Accurate
measurement cannot be performed.
CAUTION
Do not use a damaged or
disassembled probe. It causes
incorrect measurement and may
injure the patient.
CAUTION
The disposable probe is not sterilized.
Use the disposable probe only for a
single patient. Never reuse the
disposable probe for another patient
because it causes cross infection.
CAUTION
If the attachment site is dirty with
blood or bodily fluids, clean the
attachment site before attaching the
probe. If there is nail polish on the
attachment site, remove the polish.
Otherwise, the amount of transmitted
light decreases, and measured value
may be incorrect or measurement
cannot be performed.
CAUTION
If the skin gets irritated or redness
appears on the skin from the probe,
change the attachment site or stop
using the probe. Take extreme care for
the patients with delicate skin.
