Operator’s Manual
1.4.4 Data Update Period, Effect of Data Averaging, and Other Signal Processing
The advanced signal processing of the OxiMax algorithm automatically extends the amount of data required for measuring SpO2 and pulse rate depending on the measurement conditions. The OxiMax algorithm automatically extends the dynamic averaging time required beyond seven (7) seconds during degraded or difficult measurement conditions caused by low perfusion, signal artifact, ambient light, electrocautery, other interference, or a combination of these factors, which results in an increase in the dynamic averaging. As such measurement conditions extend, the amount of data required may continue to increase. If the dynamic averaging time reaches 40 seconds, and/or 50 seconds for pulse rate, a low priority alarm state results. 1.4.5 Functional Testers and Patient Simulators
Some models of commercially available bench top functional testers and patient simulators can be used to verify the proper functionality of Nellcor™ pulse oximeters, sensors, and cables. Reference the individual testing device's operator's manual for the procedures specific to the model of tester used. While such devices may be useful for verifying that the pulse oximeter sensor, cabling, and oximeter are functional, they are incapable of providing the data required to properly evaluate the accuracy of a system's SpO2 measurements. Fully evaluating the accuracy of the SpO2 measurements requires, at a minimum, accommodating the wavelength characteristics of the sensor and reproducing the complex optical interaction of the sensor and the patient’s tissue. These capabilities are beyond the scope of known bench top testers. SpO2 measurement accuracy can only be evaluated in vivo by comparing pulse oximeter readings with values traceable to SaO2 measurements obtained from simultaneously sampled arterial blood using a laboratory CO-oximeter. Many functional testers and patient simulators have been designed to interface with the pulse oximeter's expected calibration curves and may be suitable for use with Nellcor™ pulse oximeters and/or sensors. Not all such devices, however, are adapted for use with the OxiMax digital calibration system. While this will not affect use of the simulator for verifying system functionality, displayed SpO2 measurement values may differ from the setting of the test device. For a properly functioning oximeter, this difference will be reproducible over time and from oximeter to oximeter within the performance specifications of the test device. 1.4.6 Nellcor™ Pulse Oximetry Sensors
1-8
WARNING: Do not use any other cables to extend the length of the extension cable. Increasing the length of the extension cable will degrade signal quality and may lead to inaccurate measurements.
Performance Considerations
WARNING: Use only Nellcor-approved pulse oximetry sensors and pulse oximetry cables when connecting to the sensor connector. Connecting any other cable or sensor influences the accuracy of sensor data, since this may lead to adverse results.
The module sends patient data obtained from the pulse oximetry sensor to the host system. Reference Selecting a Nellcor™ Pulse Oximetry Sensor, p. 1-15, for more information on selecting the right pulse oximetry sensor for the specific patient and situation. Consider all possible variables. If still in doubt, contact Covidien or a local Covidien representative.
1.5
Note: When first applying a Nellcor™ pulse oximetry sensor to a patient, users may experience a slight delay as the host system acquires a pulse signal.
Performance Considerations
1.5.1 Overview
This section contains information for optimizing the performance of the Nellcor™ SpO2 module. Verify the performance of the module by following the procedures outlined in the SRC-MAX Pulse Oximetry Functional Tester Technical Manual. Have a qualified service technician perform these procedures prior to initial installation in a clinical setting and every 24 months as part of preventive maintenance. Reference Service, p. 1-13. 1.5.2 Patient Conditions
Application issues and certain patient conditions can affect the measurements of the module and cause the loss of the pulse signal. •
Anemia - Anemia causes decreased arterial oxygen content. Although SpO2 readings may appear normal, an anemic patient may be hypoxic. Correcting anemia can improve arterial oxygen content. The pulse oximeter may fail to provide an SpO2 reading if hemoglobin levels fall below 5 gm/dl.
•
Dysfunctional hemoglobins - Dysfunctional hemoglobins such as carboxyhemoglobin, methemoglobin, and sulphemoglobin are unable to carry oxygen. SpO2 readings may appear normal; however, a patient may be hypoxic because less hemoglobin is available to carry oxygen. Further assessment beyond pulse oximetry is recommended.

Poor peripheral perfusion
•
Excessive patient activity
•
Venous pulsations
•
Intravascular dyes, such as indocyanine green or methylene blue

1.5.3 Sensor Performance Considerations
WARNING: Pulse oximetry readings and pulse signal can be affected by certain ambient conditions, sensor application errors, and certain patient conditions. WARNING: Tissue damage can be caused by incorrect application or inappropriate duration of use of a Nellcor™ pulse oximetry sensor. Inspect the sensor site as directed in the Directions for Use DFU. WARNING: Use only Nellcor-approved pulse oximetry sensors and pulse oximetry cables when connecting to the sensor connector. Connecting any other cable or sensor influences the accuracy of sensor data, since this may lead to adverse results. WARNING: Failure to cover the Nellcor™ pulse oximetry sensor site with opaque material in high ambient light conditions may result in inaccurate measurements.
Inaccurate Sensor Measurement Conditions A variety of conditions can cause inaccurate sensor measurements.
1-10
•
Incorrect application of the Nellcor™ pulse oximetry sensor
•
Placement of the Nellcor™ pulse oximetry sensor on an extremity with a blood pressure cuff, arterial catheter, or intravascular line
•
Ambient light
•
Failure to cover the Nellcor™ pulse oximetry sensor site with opaque material in high ambient light conditions
•
Excessive patient activity
•
Dark skin pigment
•
Intravascular dyes or externally applied coloring, such as nail polish or pigmented cream
Performance Considerations
Signal Loss Loss-of-pulse signal can occur for several reasons. •
Pulse oximetry sensor applied too tightly
•
Inflation of a blood pressure cuff on the same extremity as the attached Nellcor™ pulse oximetry sensor
•
Arterial occlusion proximal to the Nellcor™ pulse oximetry sensor
•
Poor peripheral perfusion
Recommended Usage Select an appropriate Nellcor™ pulse oximetry sensor, apply it as directed, and observe all warnings and cautions presented in the Directions for Use accompanying the sensor. Clean and remove any substances such as nail polish from the application site. Periodically check to ensure that the sensor remains properly positioned on the patient. High ambient light sources such as surgical lights (especially those with a xenon light source), bilirubin lamps, fluorescent lights, infrared heating lamps, and direct sunlight can interfere with the performance of a Nellcor™ pulse oximetry sensor. To prevent interference from ambient light, ensure that the sensor is properly applied, and cover the sensor site with opaque material. If patient activity presents a problem, try one or more of the following remedies to correct the problem. •
Verify the Nellcor™ pulse oximetry sensor is properly and securely applied.
•
Move the sensor to a less active site.
•
Use an adhesive sensor that improves patient skin contact.
•
Use a new sensor with fresh adhesive backing.
•
Keep the patient still, if possible.
If poor perfusion affects performance, consider using the Nellcor™ forehead SpO2 sensor (Max-Fast), which provides superior detection in the presence of vasoconstriction. Nellcor™ forehead SpO2 sensors work particularly well on supine patients and mechanically ventilated patients. During low perfusion conditions, Nellcor™ forehead SpO2 sensors reflect changes to SpO2 values up to 60 seconds earlier than digit sensors. 1.5.4 Reducing EMI (Electromagnetic Interference)
Caution: This device has been tested and found to comply with the limits for medical devices related to IEC 60601-1-2: 2007. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference in a typical medical installation.
1-11
Operator’s Manual
Because of the proliferation of radio frequency transmitting equipment and other sources of electrical noise in health care environments (for example, electrosurgical units, cellular phones, mobile two-way radios, electrical appliances, and high-definition television), it is possible that high levels of such interference due to close proximity or strength of a source might result in disruption of module performance. The module is designed for use in environments in which electromagnetic interference might obscure the client’s pulse. During such interference, measurements may seem inappropriate or the module may not seem to operate correctly. EMI disruption can cause erratic readings, cessation of operation, or other incorrect functioning. If this occurs, survey the site of use to determine the source of this disruption, and take the listed actions to eliminate the source. •
Turn equipment in the vicinity off and on to isolate the offending equipment.
•
Reorient or relocate the interfering equipment.
•
Increase the separation between the interfering equipment and the Philips IntelliVue Patient Monitor.
The module generates, uses, and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with these instructions, may itself cause harmful interference with other susceptible devices in the vicinity. 1.6
