INDICATIONS

RD rainbow™ 4λ disposable sensors are indicated for the continuous noninvasive monitoring of functional oxygen saturation of arterial hemoglobin (SpO2) and pulse rate 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

RD rainbow 4λ disposable sensors are contraindicated for patients who exhibit allergic reactions to adhesive tape.

DESCRIPTION

RD rainbow 4λ series sensors are for use with devices containing SET® oximetry or licensed to use RD rainbow 4λ series sensors. Consult individual device manufacturer for compatibility of particular device and sensor models. Each device manufacturer is responsible for determining whether its devices are compatible with each sensor model.

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

NOTE: Though this sensor is capable of reading all parameters, it is limited by the parameters on the device.

WARNINGS

• Laboratory diagnostic tests using blood samples should be conducted prior to clinical decision making to completely understand the patient’s condition.
• 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.
• Do not use the sensor during MRI scanning or in a MRI environment.
• The site must be checked frequently or per clinical protocol to ensure adequate adhesion, circulation, skin integrity and correct optical alignment.
• Exercise 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.
• Sensors applied too tightly or that become tight due to edema will cause inaccurate readings and can cause pressure necrosis.
• 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.
• 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.
• 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.
• Misapplied sensors or sensors that become partially dislodged may cause incorrect measurements.
• Misapplications due to wrong sensor types can cause inaccurate or no readings.
• Inaccurate readings may be caused when values are provided with a low signal confidence indicator.
• 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 or no readings.
• Inaccurate readings may be caused by birthmark(s), tattoos, or skin discolorations in sensor path, moisture on the skin, deformed fingers, misaligned sensor emitter and detector, EMC interference from other sensors attached to the patient, and objects blocking the light path.
• Avoid placing the sensor on any extremity with an arterial catheter or blood pressure cuff.
• Carefully route cable and patient cable to reduce the possibility of patient entanglement or strangulation.
• 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).
• Inaccurate SpO2 readings may be caused by abnormal venous pulsation or venous congestion.
• 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 not provided for the duration of the active radiation period.
• 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.
• High intensity extreme lights (such as pulsating strobe lights) directed on the sensor, may not allow the Pulse CO-Oximeter to obtain vital sign readings.
• 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.
• The pulsations from intra-aortic balloon support can affect the pulse rate displayed on the oximeter. Verify patient’s pulse rate against the ECG heart rate.
• Venous pulsations may cause erroneous low SpO2 readings (e.g. tricuspid valve regurgitation, Trendelenburg position).
• Inaccurate SpO2 readings may be caused by severe anemia, very low arterial perfusion, or extreme 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 readings may be caused by EMI radiation interference.
• Inaccurate SpO2 readings may be caused by elevated levels of dyshemoglobin, hypocapnic or hypercapnic conditions and severe vasoconstriction, or hypothermia.
• With very low perfusion at the monitored site, the reading may read lower than core arterial oxygen saturation.
• Elevated levels of Carboxyhemoglobin (COHb) may lead to inaccurate SpO2 readings.
• 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 Methemoglobin (MetHb) may lead to inaccurate SpO2 readings.
• Elevated levels of total bilirubin or liver disease may lead to inaccurate SpO2 readings.
• Do not modify or alter the sensor in any way. Alteration or modification may affect performance and/or accuracy.
• To prevent damage, do not soak or immerse the sensor in any liquid solution.
• Do not attempt to sterilize by irradiation, steam, autoclave or ethylene oxide as it will damage the sensor.
• Do not attempt to reuse on multiple patients, reprocess, recondition or recycle Masimo sensors or patient cables as these processes may damage the electrical components, potentially leading to patient harm.
• Caution: Replace the sensor when a replace sensor message is displayed, or when a low SIQ message is consistently displayed 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. The sensor will provide up to 168 hours of patient monitoring time or up to 336 hours for sensors with a replaceable tape. After single-patient use, discard sensor.

INSTRUCTIONS

A) Site Selection
