Do not attach the oximeter sensor to a limb being monitored with a pressure cuff or with
restricted blood flow.
A poorly applied sensor might give incorrect saturation readings. A weak pulse signal on the
display might indicate a poorly applied sensor or a poorly chosen monitoring site.
Choose a site with sufficient perfusion to ensure accurate oximetry values.
Certain nail aberrations, nail polish, fungus, and so on might cause inaccurate oximetry
readings. Remove any nail polish or move the sensor to an unaffected digit.
Exposure to high ambient light from surgical lamps (especially those with a xenon light
source), bilirubin lamps, fluorescent lights, infrared heating lamps, or direct sunlight can affect
the accuracy of oximetry readings. To prevent interference from ambient light, ensure that the
sensor is properly applied. If necessary, cover the sensor with opaque material.
