SR-5C (Finger Clip Probe ) Attachment
The SR-5C is suitable for middle/long-term measurement,
and should be clipped to a fingertip. It should be
positioned so that the LED (light source) is at the base of
the fingernail, as shown in the figure below. Use the
finger mesh cover (FC-M) to secure the probe.

CAUTION
Precautions for Use of SR-5C
·
Cover the probe with a black cover if it is exposed to direct sunlight. Some
measurement error may occur if the probe is exposed to direct sunlight during
measurements.
·
The SR-5C is designed for use on adult finger. Do not use on other parts.
·
When removing th e probe, do not pull on the cord.
·
If continuously measuring over a long period of time, change the measuring finger
every 2 hours to prevent low-temperature burn. Especially for continuous use on
patient with peripheral circulatory disturbance, change the measuring finger
more frequently.
·
Do not use a tape to fix the probe. It may cause edema or congestion.
·
The probe should be positioned so that the light source is at the base of the
fingernail. Take care not to insert the finger too deep to prevent inju ry.
·
It may not be possible to take measurements in case of an excessively high
hematocrit value. In such case, reattach the probe to a thinner finger.
·
Remove nail polish before taking measurements to enable stable measurements.
·
It may not be possible to take measurements in case of poor blood circulation or
poor blood stream. In such case, remove the probe, rub or warm the finger to
improve blood circulation, then reattach the probe.
·
Before attaching a probe to a patient, clean the probe using a cloth moistened
with sterilizing alcohol.
·
The connector terminals of the probe should be protected against water or
chemicals.
·
It may not be possible to take measurements in place with vibrations or while
walking. In such case, use the UD-5C or SD-5C for more stable measurements.
·
Inaccurate measurements can be caused by the placement of SpO

probe on an
extremity with a blood pressure cuff, arterial catheter, or intravascular line
.
