Position the patient’s finger into the sensor correctly:
•
Place an index finger over the sensor window with the fingertip against the stop.
•
Ensure that the fingernail tip does not extend over the finger stop. If necessary, trim the
patient’s
fingernail.
•
Spread open the rear tabs of the sensor to provide even force over the length of the pads.
•
Ensure that the position of the sensor is correct.
•
Correct or try a different finger other than index if needed.
•
If an index finger cannot be positioned correctly, or is not available, use a smaller finger, but do
not
use the sensor on a thumb, or toe, or across a child’s hand, or foot.
When selecting a sensor site, give priority to an extremity free of an arterial catheter, blood pressure
cuff, or intravascular infusion line.

sensor for use on a different site.
