Instructions for use: Autoclavable SoftCap® Pulse Oximetry Sensors DIRECTIONS FOR USE Intended Use: Bluepoint Medical SoftCap® oximetry sensors are indicated for use in continuous non-invasive monitoring of arterial oxygen saturation and pulse rate. They are original or fully compatible replacement sensors intended for use with major brands of pulse oximeters and patient monitors. Select the sensor model number that matches the brand of oximeter or patient monitor that you are using. Precautions: For further instructions, warnings and precautions refer to the operating instructions provided with your oximeter. CAUTION: Federal (USA) law restricts this device to sale by or on the order of a physician. Warnings: Match the sensor model with your brand of oximeter. A mismatch may cause patient injury, inaccurate measurements or equipment damage. Check the sensor every 8 hours and reposition to an alternate location every 24 hours. Avoid application of the sensors to oedematous or fragile tissue. Do not use the sensor if it is damaged. Use of a damaged sensor could cause patient injury or equipment failure. Excessive patient motion, excessive ambient light, electromagnetic interference, dysfunctional haemoglobin, low perfusion, intravascular dyes, finger nail polish and long or artificial finger nails may affect the sensor performance and the accuracy of the measurement. Note: The materials used in the manufacture of the sensor contain no natural latex protein. The materials have undergone extensive bio-compatibility testing. Further information is available upon request. Application of the Sensor 1. Connect the sensor cable to the Bluepoint Medical adaptor cable that fits your oximeter or directly to the patient monitor. Then switch on the oximeter and verify proper operation. 2. Insert the patient’s digit into the sensor. The preferred digit to use for adults is the index finger. The digit is correctly inserted when: The tip of the digit touches the rear guide posts. The sensor cable extends along the top of the patient’s hand. 3. Visually monitor the sensor site to ensure the integrity of the skin. 4. Secure the lead with medical tape.
