The SvO
2
module measures the percentage of mixed venous oxygen saturation continuously and
invasively using the Hospira, Inc. (formerly Abbott Laboratories) OptiCath family of catheters routed
via the right side of the heart into the pulmonary artery. Can be used only with the MP60/MP70/
MP80/MP90 monitors.
WARNING Injected dyes, such as methylene blue, or intravascular dyshemoglobin may lead to inaccurate
measurements.
Do not monitor oxygen saturation during infusion of I.V. fat emulsion or other turbid substances
through the distal lumen of the OptiCath catheter. These liquids might temporarily modify the blood
scattering and absorption characteristics at the catheter tip. This interferes with the optical
measurement of oxygen saturation. After infusion is complete, you can again monitor oxygen
saturation accurately.
During injection of the bolus for thermodilution cardiac output measurements, the Sv
O
2
measurement might be disturbed.
