Reason

It has been reported that during use, the SpO2 value displayed on the Hemo Monitor may not update to reflect changes in the patient's oxygen value. It is also possible that if using the pulse rate of the SpO2 finger clip to calculate the patient's heart rate, it too may be subject to displaying a stale value.
