Safety Information
WARNING:
Do not use the monitoring system if the module or sensor appears or is suspected to be
damaged.
WARNING:
Using different alarm limits for the same or similar equipment within a single area of care
may compromise patient safety.
General Usage Warnings
WARNING:
The monitoring system is intended only as an adjunct in patient assessment. It must be
used in conjunction with clinical signs and symptoms and periodic patient observations.
WARNING:
The monitoring system module does not have an on-device screen or display. Users must
view monitored data and alarms in an appropriate application on an external host system
that is communicating with the module and sensor.
WARNING:
The monitoring system module and sensor communicate with the external host system
via the facility’s data network. This may result in delays in reporting of device data and
alarms, depending on network bandwidth and loading and on networking hardware
used.
WARNING:
The monitoring system module reports data periodically, not continuously. The data
reporting interval, as well as delays due to network bandwidth, loading, or hardware
issues, will create a lag between when a patient event happens and when it is reported in
the external application.
WARNING:
Due to the monitoring system’s periodic data reporting, as well as the potential for
network delays, the monitoring system is not suitable for use as a pulse oximeter for
transient events.

2.1 Overview
This chapter provides general descriptive information for the Vital Sync™ Wearable
SpO2 Patient Monitoring System.
2.2 Product Description
The Vital Sync™ Wearable
wireless automated spot check device that measures functional oxygen saturation of
arterial hemoglobin (SpO2).
The monitoring system consists of a module and a pulse oximetry sensor. The sensor
collects signals usable for determining SpO2 and pulse rate values and sends them to
the module. The module then wirelessly transmits the measured parameter data to an
external host system.
The monitoring system module has four colored LEDs to indicate system status. The
monitoring system module does not include a dedicated on-unit data display. Users
view monitored data and see associated alarm indications in an appropriate application (e.g., the Vital Sync™ Virtual Patient Monitoring Platform and Informatics Manager)
residing on the host system.
The monitoring system is powered by an internal battery, and is able to operate for a
minimum of 12 hours before requiring recharging.
Note:
For purposes of using the monitoring system, “hospital use” refers to low-acuity areas within a
hospital and in hospital-type facilities.
“Hospital-type facilities” are medical care facilities external to a hospital; examples include skilled
nursing facilities, long term acute care centers, and step-down units. “Low-acuity areas” are
patient care locations where patients are not at risk of rapid desaturation. Patients using the
monitoring system are spot-checked periodically, and may be ambulatory and under minimal
supervision.
