Measurements
2.
Once inserted, place the sensor on the patient's finger, hand or foot. Check sensor
position before securing it to the patient.
3.
To secure the sensor, place the side of the sensor belt with V edge into the V groove on
the corresponding side of the sheath. Repeat with the other side, ensuring the belt is
secure, but comfortably placed on the patient. If necessary, adjust the belt using the
second lock bar.
4.
Ensure the sensor's LED and pulse detector sides are opposite each other.
5.
Check sensor site frequently. If the sensor is too tight it may cause venous pulsation and
therefore result in inaccurate measurement. Perform frequent site checks to verify skin
integrity is not compromised.
CAUTION:
When using the Accutorr V equipped with SpO
2
, use only
Mindray supplied oxygen transducers and patient cables.
Use of other oxygen transducers may cause improper
oximeter performance.
