Figure 4.4: Reflectance Sensors
For best results while using the tail wrap sensor (V1710), apply to the ventral base of the tail with the divider
positioned centrally. Moisten the fur and parting at the application site or shaving a small area is required. The
sensor works best on medium to large sized patients.
Figure 4.5: Attaching the Sensor to the Animal
For best results while using the reflectance sensor (V1700), apply to the base of the tail. This sensor can also be
used rectally if needed.
When using either of the reflectance sensors, ultrasound gel is recommended to enhance performance. Fur, dark
pigmentation, poor perfusion and movement can affect the sensor’s ability to obtain accurate readings.
