66% to 96%: 0.03 ± 5.69% at 1 SD
Disconnecting Sensors After Monitoring
Once you are done monitoring a patient, you need to remove the Sensors from the patient and
disconnect the Sensors from the Preamp cable. Optionally, you can disconnect the Preamp
cable from the Oximeter (see
Disconnecting the Preamp Cables
on page 15), but most
medical personnel prefer to keep the cable connected to the machine.
Disconnect each Sensor as follows:
1.
Slowly and carefully peel the Sensor away from the patient to avoid damaging the skin.
2.
Grasp the connector end of the Sensor and gently pull it straight out of the Preamp cable
connector (Figure 26).

3.
Discard the Sensor.
Warnings:
Sensors are designed for single-patient use, and are not to be reprocessed —
re-used Sensors present a risk of cross-contamination or infection.
Discard Sensors after use. Disposal should follow in accordance with local
hospital and institution policies.
