CAUTION:A pulse oximeter should not be used as an apnea monitor.
CAUTION:A pulse oximeter should be considered an early warning
device. As a trend towards patient deoxygenation is
indicated, blood samples should be analyzed by a
laboratory co-oximeter to completely understand the
patient’s condition.
CAUTION:Ensure proper routing of the patient cable to avoid
entanglement and/or strangulation.
®
CAUTION:When equipped with Nellcor
oxygen transducers including Nellcor
dedicated adhesive sensors. Use of other oxygen
transducers may cause improper oximeter performance.
CAUTION:Tissue damage or inaccurate measurements may be caused
by incorrect sensor application or use, such as wrapping it
too tightly, applying supplemental tape, failing to inspect
the sensor site periodically, or failing to position it
appropriately. Carefully read the sensor directions for use,
the Accutorr Plus operating instructions, and all
precautionary information before use.
CAUTION:Excessive ambient light may cause inaccurate
measurements. Cover the sensor with opaque materials.
CAUTION:Inaccurate reading may be caused by incorrect sensor
application or use; significant levels of dysfunctional
hemoglobins, (i.e. carbohemoglobins or methemoglobin); or
intra-vascular dyes such as indocyanine green methylene
blue; exposure to excessive illumination, such as surgical
lamps (especially ones with a Xenon light source), bilirubin
lamps, fluorescent lights, infrared heating lamps, or direct
sunlight; excessive patient movement; venous pulsations;
electro-surgical interference; and placement of a sensor on
an extremity that has a blood pressure cuff, arterial
catheter, or intra-vascular line.
CAUTION:In certain situations in which perfusion and signal strength
are low, such as in patients with thick or pigmented skin,
inaccurately low SpO
readings will result. Verification of
2
oxygenation should be made, especially in preterm infants
and patients with chronic lung disease, before instituting
any therapy or intervention.
CAUTION:If the sensor or patient cable is damaged in any way,
discontinue use immediately. To prevent damage do not
soak or immerse the sensor in any liquid solution. DO NOT
ATTEMPT TO STERILIZE.

CAUTION:When equipped with MASIMO
oxygen transducers including MASIMO LNOP
SpO2, use only MASIMO®
®
patient
dedicated adhesive sensors and MASIMO PC Series Patient
Cable. Use of other oxygen transducers may cause
improper Oximetry performance.
CAUTION:Many patients suffer from poor peripheral perfusion due to
hypothermia, hypovolemia, severe vasoconstriction,
reduced cardiac output, etc. These symptoms may cause a
loss in vital sign readings.
CAUTION:The SpO2 sensor site should be checked at least every eight
(8) hours (every two (2) hours with the Adult re-usable
finger sensor). Ensure proper adhesion, skin integrity, and
proper alignment. Exercise extreme caution with poorly
perfused patients. Skin erosion and pressure necrosis can
be caused when sensors are not frequently monitored.
Assess the site every two (2) hours with poorly perfused
patients and neonates.
CAUTION:If the sensor or patient cable is damaged in any way,
discontinue use immediately. To prevent damage do not
soak or immerse the sensor in any liquid solution. Do not
attempt to sterilize.
CAUTION:Use only authorized probe covers. Use of any other probe
cover may result in erroneous readings or damage to the
probe.
CAUTION:Changing any part of the time or date will cause all stored
patient information (trend data) to be permanently erased.
Viewing the time or date does NOT cause data to be erased.
CAUTION:To avoid loss of patient data (trend), do not replace the
battery unless the Accutorr Plus is connected to an AC
receptacle. Hospital defaults and the time are unaffected by
battery replacement.

Equipment designed for direct electrical and

Non-invasive blood pressure (NIBP) accuracy depends on the application of the proper cuff
size. See Section 3.0 for detailed information.
The Accutorr Plus will not operate effectively on patients who are experiencing convulsions or
tremors.
The Accutorr Plus is a portable device intended for intra-hospital use.
If the pressure cuff is not placed at the patient’s heart level, the NIBP measurement may be
subject to error, due to the hydrostatic effect.
The pulse rate data displayed on the Accutorr Plus is computed from the measurement of
peripheral pulses (peripheral pulses taken only during a measurement cycle). The rate
measured by the Accutorr Plus may differ from the rate of an ECG monitor. This is because
the ECG is an electrical signal that may not always result in a peripheral pulse.
Administration of certain vasoconstrictive drugs (for example, norepinephrine), may reduce
peripheral perfusion to a level that prevents the Accutorr Plus from taking pulse rate
measurements.
Arterial compression, tricuspid regurgitation, or other conditions may reduce perfusion to a
level that prevents the Accutorr Plus from taking pulse rate measurements.
The presence of arrhythmias may increase the time required to complete a measurement and
may extend this time to a point where a measurement cannot be completed.
The Accutorr Plus is not intended for use during CPR. The monitor uses an oscillometric
technique based on normal peripheral circulation to compute blood pressure.
On occasion, increased motion, prolonged crying, or hyperactivity may produce
measurements with a status code of 8810 (RETRY-UNABLE TO MEASURE) or 8813 (STOPUNABLE TO MEASURE). See section 3.16 for a list of status and error codes.
Unpacking
Remove the instrument from the shipping carton and examine it for signs of shipping
damage. Save all packing materials, invoice, and bill of lading. These may be required to
process a claim with the carrier. Check all materials against the packing list. Contact the
Customer Service Department (800) 288-2121 (U.S.A and Canada) or (201) 265-8800
(outside U.S.A. and Canada) for prompt assistance in resolving shipping problems.
Most of the symbols in the table below are defined in the IEC Publication 878 and ISO
Standard 7000. These symbols are used on all models of the Accutorr Plus.

The Accutorr Plus is available in three models—one basic and two advanced:
1. Accutorr Plus with Lithium Ion Battery—the Accutorr Plus basic model, which
measures non-invasive blood pressure (NIBP) and Pulse Rate

In this manual, when a feature is described and it only refers to a particular model, it will be
noted. When the name Accutorr Plus is used, it refers to all three models.
All Accutorr Plus models are supplied with Lithium Ion Battery Technology. All models
measure NIBP and pulse rate. The Accutorr Plus features front panel digital displays for Mean
Arterial Pressures, Temperature, and Time; and extra large displays for the Systolic, Diastolic,
Pulse Rate, and SpO
. The Accutorr Plus advanced models incorporate an LCD to view
2
stored measurements (trend); to access a menu system for setting the alarm volume and SpO2
beep volume; and to display the view angle. Advanced models also add automatic SpO
measurement function with your choice of Nellcor or Masimo SpO
, depending upon your
2
2
model.
On all units, temperature can be measured with the optional Predictive Thermometer Module
(PTM) or the optional AccuTemp IR Infrared Thermometer Module. All units can also be
optionally equipped with a recorder module for documenting NIBP, pulse rate, SpO
and
2
temperature information. Each printout includes the time and date of each measurement
taken.
The Accutorr Plus can store up to 100 measurements in memory. These 100 measurements
are shared by the number of patients that are monitored by the Accutorr Plus. When only one
patient is monitored, then that one patient can have up to 100 measurements stored. When
more than one patient is monitored each patient can have any number of measurements
stored as long as the total number of stored measurements for all patients equals 100 or less.
The Accutorr Plus has an Interval Mode which enables the unit to take automatic NIBP
measurements at timed intervals.
The Accutorr Plus allows setting of alarm limits. All alarm violations are indicated by an
audible alarm tone, flashing front panel displays and brackets around the violated parameter
on the recorder print outs.
The Accutorr Plus also has the capability of operating from a battery.
This section of the Operating Instructions identifies and describes each control and display of
the Accutorr Plus. For step-by-step operating instructions, see Chapter 3.0, “Operation”.
The following is a list of all controls, connectors and indicators, their item number and the
page number. The item number refers to the call-outs on the drawings within this chapter. The
page number refers to the page where the description of the item can be found.
