Read the instruction manual supplied for the sensor carefully before use.
Finger clip type sensor
• Use only for adult fingers. Do not use the sensor on other body parts.
• For short term monitoring. If the sensor is to be used for 4 hours or longer, alternate
fingers used. For extended monitoring, use a flex type sensor.
• Do not affix the sensor to the finger with tape. This may cause congestion or edema,
resulting in skin damage.
• When cleaning the sensor, clean with a cloth moistened with 70% alcohol or other
disinfectant.
Flex type / Disposable sensor
• Though the sensor is suitable for long term monitoring, check the skin and sensor
mount at fixed intervals (every 8 hours). If a change or discoloration in skin is detected,
move the sensor to another area.
• If strong light affects the sensor, cover it with an opaque material.
•
When securing the sensor with tape, avoid tightening too strongly to prevent
congestion and edema.
• If the patients exhibit allergic reactions to the adhesive tape, stop using the sensor.
Care must be taken while peeling off adhesive tape.
The temperature on the body part where the SpO
2
sensor is attached rises by 2°C to
3°C, that may cause compression necrosis or burns. If the patient has a fever or suffers
from peripheral circulation disorder, change the sensor site frequently.
The disposable sensor is sterilized for single use on a single patient. Do not re-use it
on another patient.
Refer to the manual of each sensor for details.
