4.3.2 Neonatal Measurement
Please follow the steps below to use the neonatal SpO
2
sensor:
1. Insert the SpO
2
sensor‘s connector into DPM1’s dual-purpose socket.
2. Turn on DPM1 to enter the standby mode.
3. Appropriately place the neonatal SpO
2
sensor.
4. The readings will be displayed on DPM1’s LCD screen a moment later.
4.3.3 Placing Neonatal SpO
2
Sensor
Neonate SpO
2
sensor consists of a Y-shape SpO
2
sensor and its sheath. Insert the LED and
PD ends of the Y-shape SpO
2
sensor respectively into the upper and lower grooves on the
sheath (Figure 4-2). The Figure 4-3shows us the neonate SpO
2
sensor after insertion.

Wind the SpO
2
sensor around a hand or foot of a neonate patient. Hold the sensor, pull the
belt and fit one of its sides with “V” edge into the “V” groove on the corresponding side of
the sheath. Appropriately elongate the belt to about 20mm, and fit the “V” edge of the other
side of the belt into the “V” groove of the other side of the sheath. Then, loosen the belt.
After the “V” edges of the two sides of the belt fit well into the “V” grooves on the two
sides of the sheath, put the belt into the first lock bar to fasten the belt. See Figure 4-4. If the
belt is too long, you may put it into the second lock bar. You must position the SpO
2
sensor
in this way so as to make the photoelectric component face the correct position. Besides,
note not to elongate the belt too much, which may lead to inaccurate measurement and
block the blood circulation severely.
