Max N-65 Operator’s Manual 91
To prevent interference from ambient light, ensure that
the
O
XI
M
AX
sensor is properly applied, and cover the
O
XI
M
AX
sensor site with opaque material.
If interference due to patient activity presents a problem,
try one or more of the following to correct the problem:
• verify that the O
XI
M
AX
sensor is properly and
securely applied
• move the O
XI
M
AX
sensor to another site
• use an adhesive O
XI
M
AX
sensor
• use a new O
XI
M
AX
sensor with fresh adhesive
backing
• keep the patient still, if possible
If interference due to poor perfusion presents a problem,
consider using the MAX-R
O
XI
M
AX
sensor or the MAX-
FAST O
XI
M
AX
sensor. The MAX-R O
XI
M
AX
sensor
obtains measurements from the nasal septal anterior
ethmoid artery, an artery supplied by the internal carotid.
These
O
XI
M
AX
sensors may obtain measurements when
peripheral perfusion is relatively poor.
