Step 4: Prepare baby and attach supplies
A. Attach single use Natus sensors and earphones on infant. Cables should be connected to
sensors and earphones prior to attachment to the infant.
To ensure quick and accurate screening results, it is important to select a baby appropriate
for screening, and to correctly place the Natus screening supplies.
Evaluate baby’s medical chart to ensure no exclusion criteria for Natus ALGO
screening are present. (See Chapter I. Intended Use: Exclusion Criteria)
Ensure that baby is in a quiet or sleeping state, preferably after a feeding or bath.
Evaluate baby’s skin type, particularly at the vertex site, to determine whether
prepping is necessary. (See in this section: Skin Prepping Techniques)
i.
Attach preamp cable to Natus sensors by attaching the colored cable clips centered onto
the colored tab section of the sensor.
