SpO 2 Pulse Oximetry SpO2 Monitoring
Placement of a sensor on an extremity that has a blood
pressure cuff, arterial catheter, or intra-vascular line
Nail polish or fungus
CAUTION: In certain situations in which perfusion and signal strength
are low, such as in patients with thick or pigmented skin,
inaccurately low SpO2 readings will result. Verification of
oxygenation should be made, especially in preterm infants
and patients with chronic lung disease, before instituting
any therapy or intervention.
CAUTION: Many patients suffer from poor peripheral perfusion due to
hypothermia, hypovolemia, severe vasoconstriction,
reduced cardiac output, etc. These symptoms may cause a
loss in vital sign readings.
CAUTION: Prolonged and continuous monitoring may increase the risk
of skin erosion and pressure necrosis at the site of the
sensor. Check the SpO2 sensor site frequently to ensure
proper positioning, alignment and skin integrity at least
every eight (8) hours; with the Adult and Pediatric re-usable
finger sensor, check every four (4) hours; for neonates and
patients of poor perfusion or with skin sensitive to light,
check every 2 - 3 hours; more frequent examinations may
be required for different patients. Change the sensor site if
signs of circulatory compromise occur.
CAUTION: When cleaning SpO2 sensors, do not use excessive amounts
of liquid. Wipe the sensor surface with a soft cloth,
dampened with cleaning solution. Do not attempt to
sterilize.
6.4.1 Masimo SET ® SpO 2
Passport V monitors equipped with Masimo SET SpO2 allow the user to adjust
Sensitivity and SpO2 Average Time. The user should choose the sensitivity mode
depending upon signal quality and patient motion. In most cases, the normal setting is
appropriate. If patient motion is limited, high sensitivity can be used.
It is also possible to change the averaging time of the Saturation and Pulse Rate
measurements. The SpO2 Average Time can be changed to 2-4, 4-6, 8, 10, 12, 14,
or 16 seconds.
CAUTION: When equipped with Masimo SET® SpO2, use only Masimo
SET Oxygen Transducers including Masimo SET LNOP® and
LNCS® Patient Dedicated Adhesive Sensors and Masimo SET
PC Series Patient Cables. Use of other oxygen transducers
may cause improper oximeter performance.
Masimo SET Sensors
Masimo SET provides a family of sensors suitable for a wide variety of clinical settings and
patients. Specific sensors have been developed for neonates, infants, children, and adults.
All sensors are indicated for continuous non-invasive monitoring of arterial oxygen saturation
(SpO 2) and pulse rate, all sensors are non-sterile and usable during patient movement.
The Adult Reusable Finger Sensors can also be used for spot check applications if needed.
All sensors are intended for single-patient use only unless indicated as “reusable.”
