3. If the neonate SpO
2
sensor is used, please follow Figure 3.7 to connect.
Figure 3.7 Neonate SpO
2
sensor placement
High ambient light sources such as surgical lights (especially those with a xenon light source), bilirubin
lamps, fluorescent lights, infrared heating lamps, and direct sunlight can interfere with the performance of an
SpO
2
sensor. To prevent interference from ambient light, ensure that the sensor is properly applied, and cover
the sensor site with opaque material.
Failure to take this action in high ambient light conditions may result in inaccurate measurements.
If patient movement presents a problem, verify that the sensor is properly and securely applied; move the
sensor to a less active site; use an adhesive sensor that tolerates some patient motion; or use a new sensor
with fresh adhesive backing.
For reusable sensors, follow the sensor directions for use for cleaning and reuse. For single-patient use
sensors, use a new sensor for each patient. Do not sterilize any sensor by irradiation, steam, or ethylene
oxide.

Monitoring
0
Continuous use of SpO
2
sensor may result in discomfort or pain, especially for those with
microcirculatory problem. It is recommended that the sensor should NOT be applied to the
same place for over two hours, change the measuring site periodically if necessary.
0
SpO
2
measuring position must be examined more carefully for some special patient. Do NOT
place the SpO
2
sensor on the finger with edema or fragile tissue.
If sterile packaging of SpO
2
sensor is damaged, do not use it any more.
Check the SpO
2
sensor and cable before use. Do NOT use the damaged SpO
2
sensor.
When the temperature of SpO
2
sensor is abnormal, do not use it any more.
0
Please do not allow the cable to be twisted or bended.
0
Do NOT put the SpO2 sensor and pressure cuff on the same limb, otherwise the NIBP
measuring will affect SpO2 measuring and cause the alarm error.
0
Using nail polisher or other cosmetic product on the nail may affect the accuracy of
measurement.
0
The fingernail should be of normal length.
0
The SpO2 sensor can not be immerged into water, liquor or cleanser completely, because the
sensor has no capability to resist the harmful ingress of water
