Care and Cleaning
For care and cleaning instructions, see the instructions accompanying the
sensors.
Sensor Wear
Normal wear and tear associated with patient movement and regular sensor
cleaning typically mean that the sensor will have a limited lifetime. However,
provided you handle the sensor and its cable with care, you can expect useful
service from it for up to two years. Harsh treatment will drastically reduce the
lifetime of the sensor. Moreover, Philips Medical Systems’ warranty agreement
shall not apply to defects arising from improper use.
To get the best results from your SpO

reusable sensor:
Always handle the sensor and cable with care. The soft finger sleeve
houses a sensitive electronic device that can be damaged by harsh
treatment. Always protect the cable from sharp-edged objects.
Use the wristband that is supplied with your M1191A sensor. By keeping
the cable between the finger sensor and the wristband fairly loose, you
will maintain good monitoring conditions.
