5.3 Monitoring Procedure
1.
Selecting the SpO
2
Sensor
Depending on the patient category, weight and
application site, you can select a different SpO
2
sensor as
required.
2. Connecting the SpO
2
Sensor
Plug the SpO
2
sensor cable into the SpO
2
connector on
the oximeter.
3. Applying the SpO
2
Sensor to the patient
Clean the application site, removing barriers such as
colored nail polish, and apply the sensor to the patient.
Warning:
Do not use the SpO
2
sensor on a limb where a NIBP
cuff has been applied. This may result in inaccurate
SpO
2
readings during cuff inflation.
Do not attempt to monitor SpO
2
levels on a finger
that has been painted with nail polish, as this may
result in unreliable measurements.
When attaching a finger sensor to a patient, make
sure that the patient’s nail faces the light window
inside the sensor.
