Step
Applying the Hand/Foot Sensor
1
Position the sensor over the hand or foot with optical components
opposite each other.
2
Holding sensor, stretch strap slightly (not more than 2.5cm (1.0”).
3
Insert stretched strap into slot, hold it there while threading end
through latch. If strap is too long, thread it through second latch.
4
Plug sensor into instrument (or into adapter cable if needed).
5
Inspect and change the sensor application site periodically.
Step
Applying the Ear-Clip Sensor
1
To improve perfusion, massage or warm the ear lobe.
2
Clip probe onto fleshy part of the lobe. Plastic fixing mechanism
minimizes artifact generated by patient motion. Do not position
probe on cartilage or pressed against the head.
3
Plug sensor into instrument (or into adapter cable if needed).
4
Inspect and change the sensor application site periodically.
