Applying the OXIMAX
®
MAX-FAST sensor
This is an adhesive sensor, model MAX-FAST, for continuous noninvasive
arterial oxygen saturation and pulse rate monitoring and can be reused on the
same patient as long as the adhesive tape attaches without slippage.
1. Clean the sensor site with an alcohol wipe to remove skin oils. See
illustration for the recommended site. (Figure (1))

2. Remove the white paper backing to expose the first of three adhesive
pads (Figure (2)). The OXIMAX
®
MAX-FAST sensor is now ready to be
applied on the patient.

N O T E
There are three adhesive pads attached to the sensor, each with a pull-tab
for removal. When repositioning the sensor on the same patient, first
expose the new adhesive pad by grasping the tab and peeling off the old
adhesive pad. The sensor is now ready to be reapplied to the patient.
3. Place the sensor onto a flat, hairless portion of the patient’s forehead just
above the left or right eyebrow. If the patient is lying on their side, place
the sensor above the eye on the side of the patient’s head not in contact
with the bed. Press the MAX-FAST sensor firmly in place for 10 seconds,
ensuring that the entire surface area of the adhesive pad makes contact
with the skin (Figure (3)).
