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.
