This product cannot be adequately cleaned and/or sterilized by the user in order to facilitate
safe reuse, and is therefore intended for single use. Attempts to clean or sterilize these
devices may result in bio-incompatibility, infection or product failure risks to the patient.
This device is not made with natural rubber latex or DEHP.
Directions for Use
Indications/Contraindications
The Nellcor™ Infant SpO
2
Sensor, model MAXI, is indicated for single patient use when
continuous noninvasive arterial oxygen saturation and pulse rate monitoring are required for
patients weighing between 3 and 20 kg.
The MAXI is contraindicated for use on patients who exhibit allergic reactions to the adhesive
tape.
Note:
Adhesive sensor consists of sensor, cable and wrap adhesive flaps.
Instructions for Use
1. Remove plastic backing from the MAXI and locate transparent windows (b) on the
adhesive side. Windows cover optical components. Note corresponding alignment marks
(a) on the nonadhesive side and the dashed line (c) midway between the marks.

A great toe is the preferred MAXI location. Alternatively, apply the sensor to another digit
of similar size, for example, a thumb.
Note:
When selecting a sensor site, priority should be given to an extremity free of an arterial
catheter, blood pressure cuff, or intravascular infusion line.
2. Orient the MAXI so the window next to the cable is aligned on the bottom of the great
toe as shown. The cable should extend towards the heel.
2
3. Wrap the MAXI firmly, but not too tightly around the toe. Windows must oppose each
other.

4. Wrap any excess tape loosely around toe. Use additional tape provided to secure cable
across bottom of foot, loosely enough to maintain good circulation.

5. Plug the MAXI into the oximeter and verify proper operation as described in the oximeter
operator’s manual.
Note:
If the sensor does not track the pulse reliably, it may be incorrectly positioned—or the
sensor site may be too thick, thin, or deeply pigmented, or otherwise deeply colored
(for example, as a result of externally applied coloring such as nail polish, dye, or
pigmented cream) to permit appropriate light transmission. If any of these situations
occurs, reposition the sensor or choose an alternate Nellcor sensor for use on a
different site.
To remove the Adhesive Sensor:
1. Peel the tape wrap to gently remove the sensor.
2. Disconnect the sensor from the monitor by unplugging the sensor from the extension
cable or monitor.
Reapplication
The MAXI can be reused on the same patient as long as the adhesive tape attaches without
slippage.
