TG-26 (UD-5C) Attachment
The TG-26 (UD-5C) is suitable for long-term measurement and can be
attached to a finger of an adult, or to a foot, palm, wrist or ankle of a
neonate. Before attaching the probe to a patient, clean the skin using a
cloth moistened with sterilizing alcohol.
CAUTION
Precautions for Use of TG-26 (UD-5C)
·
Cover the probe with a black cover if it is exposed to direct sunlight. Some
measurement error may occur if the probe is exposed to direct sunlight during
measurements.
·
Make sure that the two pads are aligned .
·
If the use of double-sided adhesive tape causes skin irritation, stop using it. In
such case, try using a bandage tape.
·
Attach the pad with the LED to the base of the fingernail and the sensor pad to
the opposite side of the finger.
·
If measurements are taken over a long period of time, change the measuring site
several times a day to prevent rash, redness or a low-temperature burn. Be
especially careful for the continuous use on premature infant, neonate, or a
patient with peripheral circulatory disturbance by changing the measuring site
frequently.
·
When fixating the probe by bandage tape, do not tighten it too hard as this may
cause edema or congestion.
·
If the use of adhesive tape causes skin irritation, it should be discontinued.
·
Since pediatric patients skin can be extremely sensitive, be careful when removing
the tape.
·
Inaccurate measurements can be caused by the placement of SpO

probe on an
extremity with a blood pressure cuff, arterial catheter, or intravascular line.
