Home Use Operation Manual
Chapter 1: Introduction WARNING! Measurements made at sites with low perfusion are potentially inaccurate. Always use measurements in conjunction with other clinical signs and symptoms. Warning! SpO2 measurements may be adversely affected in the presence of high ambient light. Shield the sensor area (with a surgical towel, for example) if necessary. Warning! Dyes introduced into the bloodstream, such as methylene blue, indocyanine green, indigo carmine, fluorescein, and patent blue V (PBV) may adversely affect the accuracy of the SpO2 reading. Warning! Any condition that restricts blood flow, such as use of a blood pressure cuff or extremes in systemic vascular resistance, may cause an inability to determine accurate pulse rate and SpO2 readings. Warning! Optical cross-talk can occur when two or more sensors are placed in close proximity. It can be eliminated by covering each site with an opaque material. Warning! Remove fingernail polish or false fingernails before applying SpO2 sensors. Fingernail polish or false fingernails may cause inaccurate SpO2 readings. Warning! Significant levels of dysfunctional hemoglobins, such as carboxyhemoglobin (with CO-poisoning) or methemoglobin (with sulfonamide therapy), will affect the accuracy of the SpO2 measurement. WARNING! Tissue damage may result from overexposure to sensor light during photodynamic therapy with agents such as verteporphin, porfimer sodium, and metatetrahydroxyphenylchlorin (mTHPC). Change the sensor site at least every hour and observe for signs of tissue damage. More frequent sensor site changes/inspections may be indicated depending upon the photodynamic agent used, agent dose, skin condition, total exposure time or other factors. Use multiple sensor sites. WARNING! When connecting this monitor to any instrument, verify proper operation before clinical use. Refer to the instrument’s user manual for full instructions. Accessory equipment connected to the monitor’s data interface must be certified according to the respective IEC standards, i.e., IEC 60950 for data processing equipment or IEC 60601-1 for electromedical equipment. All combinations of equipment must be in compliance with IEC 60601-1-1 systems requirements. Anyone connecting additional equipment to the signal input port or the signal output port configures a medical system, and therefore is responsible that the system complies with the requirements of the system standard IEC 60601-1-1.

Chapter 1: Introduction
Notes NOTE! The WW1090 rechargeable battery pack utilizes circuitry that optimizes the charging of the batteries. New packs will require multiple charge / discharge learning cycles before optimum performance is obtained. NOTE! “SpO2 averaging” means the number of pulse beats over which the SpO2 value is averaged; “pulse averaging” means the number of seconds over which the pulse value is averaged. NOTE! Increasing or decreasing the averaging setting has no effect on the data update rate. NOTE! Alarm limits are retained through power cycles, with the exception of the following note. NOTE! If the low SpO2 limit is set to less than 85% it will be reset to 85% when the monitor is next powered on. The high SpO2 limit will be adjusted to 86% if it is 85% or less. NOTE! If the alarm volume is set to a value less than 8 at power down, it will be reset to 8 when the monitor is next powered on. NOTe! A Patient Simulator does not calibrate the monitor. The monitor does not require calibration. A Patient Simulator provides a known SpO2 value and pulse rate to the monitor that allows the monitor’s performance to be checked. NOTE! A Patient Simulator cannot be used to assess the accuracy of a pulse oximeter and/or sensor.
