WARNING
DATA VALIDITY—Do not expose probe detector to strong ambient
light while monitoring a patient. A poor signal may result.
Do not allow tape to block the probe light detector.
WARNING
PATIENT SAFETY—Prolonged monitoring may require changing
the probe site periodically. Move the probe if there is any sign of
skin irritation or impaired circulation. Change the probe site AT
LEAST every four hours to prevent ischemic skin necrosis. If
required, reduce the application periods to HALF the times
recommended above.
If a probe is damaged in any way, discontinue use immediately.
CAUTION
Use only approved Nonin SpO2 probes (refer to the Additional
Product Information addendum) with the Apex oximeter and Xpod
oximeter. The reliability of SpO2 data obtained with any other probe
has not been verified.
