Event or Problem Description
|
|
It was reported that the patient was desaturating to 86%, however the patient looked clinically okay.The nurse disconnected & reconnected the rd set inf-l sensor and the inf-l sensor started working.Later in the day with the same probe, another nurse was unable to get a 3-star reading despite repositioning.The patient's o2 saturation was 93% and noted that the sensor is less than 8 hours old.She ended up changing out the probes.This is a problem, because the nurses/customers expect quality readings to displayed as quality 3-star readings on the monitor when perceived correct sensor placement is performed.Sensor was saved and placed in a bag to be sent in for analysis.
