Applying the OxiMax
®
MAX-R sensor
This Nellcor
®
adhesive sensor, model MAX-R, is indicated for continuous
noninvasive arterial oxygen saturation and pulse rate monitoring. The MAX-R
is designed for use only on the nose. Use this sensor when finger pulsatile flow
is inadequate, or monitoring a finger/toe is not possible.
1. Clean the bridge of the patient’s nose with the contents of the enclosed
acetone/alcohol ampule to remove skin oils. Do not allow the
acetone/alcohol solution to get in the patient’s eyes.
2. Remove the plastic backing from the MAX-R and locate the transparent
windows on the adhesive side. Windows cover optical components. Note
the corresponding alignment marks on the non-adhesive side (a) and the
dashed center line (b) midway between the marks (Figure (1)).
3. Orient the MAX-R so that the dashed line is centered on the nose (a) and
the alignment marks are at the bone-cartilage junction (b). The cable
should extend toward the patient’s right side (Figure (2)).
4. Press the MAX-R firmly onto the nose and hold in place for 10 seconds to
ensure adhesion (Figure (3)). The MAX-R must be secured firmly for
proper operation.
5. As with all medical equipment, carefully route cables to reduce the
possibility of patient entanglement or strangulation.
6. Connect the MAX-R into the LX-7230N. Verify proper operation as
described in the operation manual.

N O T E
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
to permit appropriate light transmission. If any of these situations occurs, try
another MAX-R or choose an alternate Nellcor Puritan Bennett sensor.
