Patient preparation
The accuracy of SpO2 monitoring is largely dependent on the strength and quality of the SpO2
signal.
If you use your fingers as a monitoring site, remove the nail polish. Cut the patient's fingernail if
needed to improve placement of the sensor. Only use sensors provided by Bionet and apply them
according to manufacturer's recommendations on a per-sensor basis.
If the sensor is not attached correctly, the ambient light may interfere with the pulse oximetry,
making the measurement irregular or causing the value to disappear. If you suspect interference
from ambient light, make sure that the sensor is properly positioned and that the sensor cover
with the opaque body is covered.
1. Select the sensor type and size that best suits your patient.
2. If the sensor can be reused, please wash it before use for each patient.
3. Position the sensor correctly and attach it to the patient.
4. Connect the sensor to the patient cable.
5. Check the application area of the sensor from time to time. If the sensor is too tight, it may
delay blood flow or overheat the skin and damage the tissue. Do not use a damaged sensor.
Note: Read the documentation that came with your sensor for the best application technology
and safety information. Never use a damaged sensor.
Note: If the sensor does not turn on after connecting the sensor, observe that a message appears
on the monitor. If the sensor-LED does not turn on, replace the sensor.
