This device is not made with natural rubber latex or DEHP.
This product cannot be adequately cleaned and/or sterilized by the user in order to facilitate
safe reuse, and is therefore intended for single use. Attempts to clean or sterilize these
devices may result in bio-incompatibility, infection or product failure risks to the patient.
Directions for Use
Indications/Contraindications
The Nellcor™ Pediatric SpO
2
Sensor, model MAXP, is indicated for single patient use when
continuous noninvasive arterial oxygen saturation and pulse rate monitoring are required for
patients weighing between 10 and 50 kg.
The MAXP is contraindicated for use on patients who exhibit allergic reactions to the
adhesive tape.
Note:
Adhesive sensor consists of sensor, cable and wrap adhesive flaps.
Instructions for Use
1. Remove plastic backing from the MAXP and locate transparent windows (a) on the
adhesive side. Windows cover optical components.
1
An index finger is the preferred MAXP location. Alternatively, apply the sensor to a small
thumb, smaller finger, or great toe.
Note:
When selecting a sensor site, priority should be given to an extremity free of an arterial
catheter, blood pressure cuff, or intravascular infusion line.
2. Orient the MAXP so the dashed line in the middle of the sensor is centered on the tip of
the digit. Wrap adhesive flaps on non-cable end around the digit. Note that the cable
must be positioned on the top of the hand or foot.

3. Fold cable end over top of digit so that windows are directly opposite each other. Wrap
adhesive securely around sides of digit.

4. Plug the MAXP into the oximeter and verify proper operation as described in the
oximeter operator’s manual.
Note:
If the sensor does not track the pulse reliably, it may be incorrectly positioned—or the
sensor site may be too thick, thin, or deeply pigmented, or otherwise deeply colored
(for example, as a result of externally applied coloring such as nail polish, dye, or
pigmented cream) to permit appropriate light transmission. If any of these situations
occurs, reposition the sensor or choose an alternate Nellcor sensor for use on a
different site.
To remove the Adhesive Sensor:
1. Peel the tape wrap to gently remove the sensor.
2. Disconnect the sensor from the monitor by unplugging the sensor from the extension
cable or monitor.
WARNINGS
1. Use this sensor only with Nellcor OxiMax™ instruments and instruments containing
Nellcor oximetry, or with instruments licensed to use Nellcor OxiMax sensors
(Nellcor-compatible instruments).
