INDICATIONS

The Rad-G® YI Reusable Sensor is indicated for the continuous noninvasive monitoring of functional oxygen saturation of arterial hemoglobin (SpO2) and pulse rate (measured by an SpO2 sensor) for use with adult, pediatric, infant, and neonatal patients during both no motion and motion conditions and for patients who are well or poorly perfused in hospitals, hospital-type facilities, mobile, and home environments.

CONTRAINDICATIONS

The Rad-G YI Multisite Reusable Sensor is contraindicated for patients who exhibit allergic reactions to foam urethane products and/ or adhesive tape.

DESCRIPTION

The Rad-G YI sensor is applied to the sensor site using Masimo® attachment wraps. The attachment wraps are for single-patient use only. The Rad-G YI is for use only with devices containing Masimo SET® oximetry or licensed to use Rad-G YI sensors. The Masimo Attachment Wraps are for use only with the Rad-G YI Reusable Multisite Sensors. Consult individual instrument manufacturer for compatibility of particular instrument and sensor models. Each instrument manufacturer is responsible for determining whether its instruments are compatible with each sensor model. The YI series has been verified using Masimo SET Oximetry Technology.

The sensor must be removed and the site inspected at least every four (4) hours or sooner, and, if indicated by circulatory condition or skin integrity, reapplied to a different monitoring site.

WARNING : Masimo sensors and cables are designed for use with devices containing Masimo SET® oximetry or licensed to use Masimo sensors.

WARNINGS, CAUTIONS AND NOTES

• All sensors and cables are designed for use with specific monitors. Verify the compatibility of the monitor, cable and sensor before use, otherwise degraded performance and/or patient injury can result.
• The sensor should be free of visible defects, discoloration and damage. If the sensor is discolored or damaged, discontinue use.
• Never use a damaged sensor or one with exposed electrical circuitry. · The site must be checked frequently or per clinical protocol to ensure adequate adhesion, circulation, skin integrity and correct optical alignment.
• Exercise extreme caution with poorly perfused patients; skin erosion and pressure necrosis can be caused when the sensor is not frequently moved. Assess site as frequently as every (1) hour with poorly perfused patients and move the sensor if there are signs of tissue ischemia.
• Circulation distal to the sensor site should be checked routinely.
• During low perfusion, the sensor site needs to be assessed frequently for signs of tissue ischemia, which can lead to pressure necrosis.
• With very low perfusion at the monitored site, the reading may read lower than core arterial oxygen saturation.
• Do not use tape to secure the sensor to the site; this can restrict blood flow and cause inaccurate readings. Use of additional tape can cause skin damage, and/or pressure necrosis or damage the sensor.
• Carefully route cable and patient cable to reduce the possibility of patient entanglement or strangulation.
• Misapplied sensors or sensors that become partially dislodged may cause incorrect measurements.
• Misapplications due to wrong sensor types can cause inaccurate or no readings.
• Sensors applied too tightly or that become tight due to edema will cause inaccurate readings and can cause pressure necrosis.
• Inaccurate SpO2 readings may be caused by abnormal venous pulsation or venous congestion.
• Venous congestion may cause under reading of actual arterial oxygen saturation. Therefore, assure proper venous outflow from monitored site. Sensor should not be below heart level (e.g. sensor on hand of a patient in a bed with arm dangling to the floor, Trendelenburg position).
• Venous pulsations may cause erroneous low SpO2 readings (e.g. tricuspid valve regurgitation, Trendelenburg position).
• The pulsations from intra-aortic balloon support can be additive to the pulse rate on the oximeter pulse rate display. Verify patient’s pulse rate against the ECG heart rate. · Avoid placing the sensor on any extremity with an arterial catheter or blood pressure cuff.
• If using pulse oximetry during full body irradiation, keep the sensor out of the radiation field. If sensor is exposed to the radiation, the reading might be inaccurate or the unit might read zero for the duration of the active radiation period.
• Do not use the sensor during MRI scanning or in a MRI environment.
• 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 the sensor.
• To prevent interference from ambient light, ensure that the sensor is properly applied, and cover the sensor site with opaque material, if required. Failure to take this precaution in high ambient light conditions may result in inaccurate measurements.
• Inaccurate readings may be caused by EMI radiation interference.
• Abnormal fingers, intravascular dyes such as indocyanine green or methylene blue or externally applied coloring and texture such as nail polish, acrylic nails, glitter, etc. may lead to inaccurate SpO2 measurements.
• High levels of COHb or MetHb may occur with a seemingly normal SpO2. When elevated levels of COHb or MetHb are suspected, laboratory analysis (CO-Oximetry) of a blood sample should be performed.
• Elevated levels of Carboxyhemoglobin (COHb) may lead to inaccurate SpO2 measurements.
• Elevated levels of Methemoglobin (MetHb) will lead to inaccurate SpO2 measurements.
• Elevated Total Bilirubin levels may lead to inaccurate SpO2 measurements.
• Inaccurate SpO2 readings may be caused by severe anemia, low arterial perfusion or motion artifact.
• Hemoglobinopathies and synthesis disorders such as thalassemias, Hb s, Hb c, sickle cell, etc. may cause inaccurate SpO2 readings.
• Inaccurate SpO2 readings may be caused by vasospastic disease such as Raynaud’s, and peripheral vascular disease.
• Inaccurate SpO2 readings may be caused by elevated levels of dyshemoglobin, hypocapnic or hypercapnic conditions and severe vasoconstriction or hypothermia.
• SpO2 readings may be affected under very low perfusion conditions at the monitored site.
• Readings provided with a low signal confidence indicator may not be accurate.
• Do not modify or alter the sensor in any way. Alteration or modification may affect performance and/or accuracy.
• Clean the sensors prior to reuse on multiple patients.
• To prevent damage, do not soak or immerse the connector in any liquid solution.
• Do not attempt to sterilize by irradiation, steam, autoclave or ethylene oxide.
• Do not attempt to reprocess, recondition or recycle Masimo sensors or patient cables as these processes may damage the electrical components, potentially leading to patient harm.
• High oxygen concentrations may predispose a premature infant to retinopathy. Therefore, the upper alarm limit for the oxygen saturation must be carefully selected in accordance with accepted clinical standards.
• Caution : Replace the sensor when a replace sensor message is displayed, or when a low SIQ message is consistently displayed while monitoring consecutive patients after completing the low SIQ troubleshooting steps identified in the monitoring device operator’s manual.
• Note : The sensor is provided with X-Cal® technology to minimize the risk of inaccurate readings and unanticipated loss of patient monitoring. Replace the sensor when the patient monitoring time is exhausted.

INSTRUCTIONS

A. Selecting the site

Select the appropriate application site based on patient weight:

• Always choose a site that will completely cover the sensor’s detector window.
• The site should be free of debris prior to sensor placement.
• Choose a site that is well perfused and least restricts a conscious patient’s movements.
• The sensor is not intended for placement on the ear, if the ear is the desired monitoring site the Masimo RD SET TC-I reusable sensor is recommended.

B. Attaching the adhesive squares to the sensor

• For improved adherence of the adhesive squares to the sensor, wipe the sensor pads with 70% isopropyl alcohol and allow to dry prior to attaching the adhesive squares.

1. Remove the adhesive squares from the backing. (see Fig. 1a)
2. Attach one square to each window of the sensor pads (emitter and detector). Avoid touching the sticky side prior to applying to the sensor pads. (see Fig. 1b)
3. Do not remove the release liner until ready to apply the sensor to the site.

CAUTION : Do not use adhesive squares on fragile skin.

C. Inserting the sensor into the foam attachment wrap

1. Locate the sensor attachment holes on the wrap. Orient the wrap so that the patient-contacting surface is on top. (see Fig. 2a)
2. Locate the emitter side of the sensor (indicated by the red mark on the cable) and push the button on the back of the sensor into left hole on the wrap
3. Push the button on the detector side of the sensor into the right hole on the wrap.
4. The foam wrap can shortened for smaller site applications (child’s finger or toe, pre-term infant’s foot or hand). (see Fig. 2b)

D. Applying sensor to patient (see Figs. 3a­5d)

1. Route the sensor cable towards the patient.
2. Place the detector side of the sensor on the fleshy portion of the application site.
3. Place the emitter side of the sensor directly opposite to the detector (nail bed, top of foot, palm of hand).
4. Wrap the tab around the application site to secure the alignment of the emitter and detector windows.
   Note : Wrap should be loose enough to avoid restricting circulation around the site.

E. Connecting the sensor to the device

1. Insert the sensor connector into the top of the device.
2. Ensure the connector is fully engaged with the device.
3. Push the connector cover closed until a tactile or audible click of connection is heard. (see Fig. 6)

F. Disconnecting the sensor from the device

1. Lift up the protective cover.
2. Pull firmly on the sensor connector to remove it from the patient cable.
   Note : To avoid damage, pull on the sensor connector, not the cable.
