Procedure for Use
1) Anesthetize the animal and place on the RightTemp warming pad.

Tip: Kent Scientific recommends the use of inhalant
anesthetics. Injectable anesthetic agents have a greater
effect on circulation, making pulse oximetry challenging.
Always warm the animal to support circulation in the animal’s
extremities.
2) Align the sensor over the hind paw of the animal, centering the red light over
the paw pad.
MouseSTAT sensor on animal
The sensor automatically begins readings. To monitor signal
quality, view the Oxiwave graph on the Oxi Run Screen.
MouseSTAT with Optional Respiratory Rate Parameter allows
you to monitor RR. To obtain RR, a strong pulse oximetry
signal is required.
