Monitoring Procedure

Depending on the animal category, weight and application site, you can select the
SpO
2
sensor as required.
2.
Connecting SpO
2
Sensor
Plug the SpO
2
sensor cable into the SpO
2
connector on the measurement module.
3.
Applying SpO
2
Sensor
Place the sensor on the animal’s tongue or ear. For dogs, cats and equines, place the
sensor on their tongue. When placing the sensor, place the optical part of the sensor in the
center of the tongue. You can also place the sensor on the animal's lips, toes, ears, prepuce
and vulva.
CAUTION:
Do not apply sensor too tightly as this results in venous pulsation which may
severely obstruct circulation and lead to inaccurate measurements.
At elevated ambient temperatures be careful with measurement sites that are
not well perfused, because this can cause burns after prolonged application.
Avoid placing the sensor on extremities with an arterial catheter, an NIBP cuff
or an intravascular venous infusion line.
