INDICATIONS

The LNC Patient Cable series have the same indications for use as the applicable sensors. Please see the compatible sensor’s directions for use for indications for use and prescribed information.

DESCRIPTION

The LNC Patient Cable Series are used with Masimo LNCS® sensors. The LNC Patient Cable and Masimo LNCS Sensors have been validated with Masimo SET® Rad-5® Pulse Oximeter.WARNINGS, CAUTIONS, AND NOTES

Ensure the cable is physically intact, with no broken or frayed wires or damaged parts. Visually inspect the cable and discard if cracks or discoloration are found.
Carefully route patient cable to reduce the possibility of patient entanglement or strangulation.
Do not attempt to reprocess, recondition or recycle Masimo sensors or patient cables as these processes may damage the electrical components, potentially leading to patient harm.
Masimo sensors and cables are designed for use with devices containing Masimo SET® oximetry or licensed to use Masimo sensors.
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.
Failure to properly connect the sensor or the oximeter module to the cable will result in intermittent readings, inaccurate results, or no reading.
To avoid damage to the cable, always hold it by the connector rather than the cable when connecting or disconnecting either end.
Always refer to the oximeter module operator’s manual for complete instructions or additional instructions.
To prevent damage, do not soak or immerse the sensor or cable in any liquid solution. Do not attempt to sterilize the cable or sensor.
Caution: Replace the cable when a replace cable message is displayed, or when a low SIQ message is consistently displayed while monitoring consecutive patients after completing the low SIQ troubleshooting steps identified in the monitoring device operator’s manual.
Note: The cable is provided with X-Cal® technology to minimize the risk of inaccurate readings and unanticipated loss of patient monitoring. The cable will provide up to 17,520 hours of patient monitoring time. Replace the cable when the patient monitoring time is exhausted. Some legacy monitoring devices do not distinguish between the cable and the sensor. In these devices, a replacement sensor or similar message could pertain either to the sensor or the cable.
