INDICATIONS
The rainbow® Series Patient Cable Series have the same indications for use as the applicable sensors. Please see the
compatible sensor’s directions for use for indications for use and prescribed information.
DESCRIPTION
The rainbow Series Patient Cables are used with Masimo® rainbow and M-LNCS™ Sensors.rainbow Series Patient Cables
are for use only with devices containing Masimo rainbow SET™ technology Version 7.1 or higher or licensed to use
rainbow compatible sensors. Consult individual oximetry system manufacturers for compatibility of particular sensor
and device models. Each device manufacturer is responsible for determining whether their devices are compatible with
each sensor model.
rainbow Series Patient Cables were verified using Masimo rainbow SET technology.
WARNING:
Masimo sensors and cables are designed for use with devices containing Masimo SET® or Masimo rainbow
SET oximetry or licensed to use Masimo sensors.
WARNINGS, CAUTIONS, AND NOTES
• Always refer to the oximeter module operator’s manual for complete instructions or additional instructions.
• Ensure the cable is physically intact, with no broken or frayed wires or damaged parts. Visually inspect the cable
and discard if cracks or discoloration are found.
• All sensors and cables are designed for use with specific monitors. Verify the compatibility of the monitor, cable
and sensor before use, otherwise degraded performance and/or patient injury can result.
• Carefully route patient cable to reduce the possibility of patient entanglement or strangulation.
• Failure to properly connect the sensor or the oximeter module to the cable will result in intermittent readings,
inaccurate results, or no reading.
• To avoid damage to the cable, always hold it by the connector rather than the cable when connecting or
disconnecting either end.
• To prevent damage, do not soak or immerse the sensor or cable in any liquid solution. Do not attempt to sterilize
the cable or sensor.
• Do not attempt to reprocess, recondition or recycle Masimo sensors or patient cables as these processes may
damage the electrical components, potentially leading to patient harm.
• Caution:
Replace the patient cable when a Replace cable or a persistent low SIQ message is displayed when the
patient monitoring time is exhausted.
• Note:
The patient cable is provided with X-Cal™ technology to minimize the risk of inaccurate readings and
unanticipated loss of patient monitoring. The cable will provide 17,520 hours of patient monitoring time. Replace
the cable when the patient monitoring time is exhausted.
