FORE-SIGHT ELITE Absolute Tissue Oximeter, REF: 01-06-3000, Contents: Monitor 1 EA., Accessory Kit 1 EA.
The StO2 values may be inaccurately low when using either the FORE-SIGHT ELITE Tissue Oximeter Module or the FORE-SIGHT ELITE Absolute Tissue Oximeter Monitor with the Fore-Sight Elite large sensor in certain somatic locations (arms and legs). While the StO2 absolute values are impacted, the directional trend remains accurate, but may have a larger magnitude change. Low StO2 values may lead to unintended or inappropriate treatment
