Care and Handling of the Sensor
WARNING! Misuse or improper handling of the sensor and cable could result in damage to
the sensor. This may cause inaccurate readings.
Hold the connector rather than the cable when connecting or disconnecting the sensor to the
device as shown in Figure 4.2.

When placing the sensor on the patient, allow the cable to lay across the palm of the hand and
parallel to the arm of the patient as shown in Figure 4.3.
