1. Intended Use The OxyTrue®A handheld pulse oximeter is indicated for continuous or spot check monitoring of functional arterial oxygen saturation (SpO2) and pulse rate of adult, pediatric and newborn patients in hospital, hospital type facilities, transport, emergency care and mobile environments as well as in the home care environment. Warnings Warnings are identified by the WARNING symbol shown above. Warnings alert the user to potential serious outcomes, such as death, injury, or adverse events to the patient or user.
Do not make any clinical judgments based solely on the OxyTrue®A. The monitor is intended only as an adjunct in patient assessment. It must be used in conjunction with clinical signs and symptoms. The interpretation of the measurement values should be done only by trained health care professionals.
Explosion hazard. Do not use OxyTrue®A in the presence of flammable anesthetics mixture with air, oxygen, or nitrous oxide.
Routinely monitor the patient to make sure the OxyTrue®A is functioning and the sensor is correctly placed.
Pulse oximetry measurements and pulse signals can be affected by certain environmental conditions, sensor application errors, and certain patient conditions. See the appropriate sections of this manual for specific safety information.
If you are uncertain about the accuracy of any measurement, check the patient’s vital signs by alternate means; then make sure the OxyTrue®A is functioning correctly.
The use of accessories, sensors, and cables other than those specified may result in increased emission and/or create invalid readings of the OxyTrue®A.
Failure to cover the sensor site with opaque material in high ambient light conditions may result in inaccurate measurements.
OxyTrue®A User Manual bluepoint MEDICAL GmbH & Co. KG 2007
Do not silence the audible alarm function or decrease the audible alarm volume if patient safety could be compromised.
The OxyTrue®A is a prescription device to be operated only by trained personnel. The monitor is for attended monitoring only.
The OxyTrue®A is not defibrillator-proof. However, it may remain attached to the patient throughout defibrillation or while an electrosurgical unit is in use. The measurements may be inaccurate throughout the defibrillation, or use of an electrosurgical unit, and shortly thereafter. To avoid shock, the caregiver should not hold the OxyTrue®A while using a defibrillator on a patient.
Disconnect the OxyTrue®A and sensor from the patient throughout magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scanning. Induced current could potentially cause burns.
Do not use a sensor or cables that appear damaged. Do not use sensors where optical components lie open.
Ensure that the speaker is clear of any obstruction and that the speaker holes are not covered. Failure to do so could result in an inaudible alarm tone.
