• Avoid sites subject to excessive motion. Try to keep the patient still,
or move the sensor to a site with less motion.
• Make sure the application site for the sensor is not deeply pigmented,
or deeply colored (for example: nail polish, artificial nails, dye or pig-
mented cream may cause inaccurate measurements). In any of these
cases reposition the sensor or choose an alternative sensor for use at a
different site.
• Dysfunctional hemoglobin or intravascular dyes can cause inaccurate
measurements.
• Cover the sensor with opaque material under conditions of strong or
excessive light (infrared lamps, OR lamps, photo therapy). Failure to
do so can result in inaccurate measurements.
• Protect the connector from contact with any liquid.
• Inspect the sensor application site every 2 to 3 hours to ensure skin
integrity, correct optical alignment, and circulation distal to the sensor
site. Skin irritation or ulceration may occur if the sensor is attached to
one location for too long. Move the sensor application site every
4 hours, or more often if circulation or skin integrity is compromised.
If the light source is not directly opposite the light detector, reapply
the sensor, or choose an alternative sensor for use at a different site.
• Do not use a sensor during MRI scanning. This may cause burns or
inaccurate measurements.
• M1191AL/M1191ANL only: This sensor is not allowed to be used
with an extension or adapter cable.
• M1195A/M1195AN only: As patients of this age are prone to move-
ment, it is recommended that you secure the sensor cable with tape to
prevent it from coming off the finger. Alternatively, position the sen-
sor on one of the patient's toes.
