•
Sensors:
•
Before use, carefully read the Masimo LNCS
®
sensor directions for use.
•
Use only Masimo oximetry sensors for SpO
2
measurements. Other oxygen
transducers (sensors) may cause improper performance.
•
Tissue damage can be caused by incorrect application or use of an LNCS sensor for
example, by wrapping the sensor too tightly. Inspect the sensor site as directed in
the sensor
Directions for Use
to ensure skin integrity and correct positioning and
adhesion of the sensor.
•
Do not damage LNCS sensors. Do not use an LNCS sensor with exposed optical
components. Do not immerse the sensor in water, solvents, or cleaning solutions
(The sensors and connectors are not waterproof). Do not sterilize by irradiation,
steam, or ethylene oxide. See the cleaning instructions in the directions for reusable
Masimo LNCS sensors.
•
Do not use damaged patient cables. Do not immerse the patient cables in water,
solvents, or cleaning solutions (the patient cables are not waterproof). Do not
sterilize by irradiation, steam, or ethylene oxide. See the cleaning instructions in
the directions for reusable Masimo patient cables.
•
Do not use the pulse oximeter sensor during magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scanning.
Inducing current could potentially cause burns. The pulse oximeter may affect the MRI
image and the MRI unit may affect the accuracy of the dosimetry measurements.
Batteries
•
Only use the power supply provided with the device. Use of any other power supply could
cause damage or create a fire and/or destroy the battery and device.
•
If you witness a battery or the battery compartment starting to balloon, swell up, smoke, or
feel excessively hot, turn off the device, disconnect external power, and observe it in a safe
place for approximately 15 minutes and send the device for service. Never puncture or
disassemble the battery packs or cells.
User Safety
•
Electric shock hazard: Do not remove equipment covers. You may only perform
maintenance procedures specifically described in this manual. Refer all servicing to
ZOLL or a ZOLL-authorized service center.
•
Possible explosion hazard if used in the presence of flammable anesthetics or other
flammable substances in combination with air, oxygen-enriched environments, or nitrous
oxide.
•
This device is not intended for use in explosive atmospheres.
•
Pins of connectors identified with the ESD warning symbol should not be touched. Always
use precautionary procedures with ESD-sensitive connections.
Patient Safety
•
To ensure patient electrical isolation, connect only to other equipment with electronically
isolated circuits.
•
Do not place the device or external power supply in any position that might cause it to fall
on the patient. Do not lift the device by the power cord, patient circuit, or pulse oximeter
patient cable.
•
Never
service the ventilator while in use with a patient.
