CAUTION
It is important that all probes to be used with any one OxyFlo
Pro monitor have
different probe identification numbers
in
order to prevent possible probe calibration errors. Please
contact technical support for advice.

Placement of Probes
Please note that detailed guidelines for the use of probes in a variety of
tissue monitoring applications are maintained on our dedicated OxyFlo
support site:
http://www.oxford-optronix.com/support/supp_oxyflo.htm
IMPORTANT: In all cases direct ‘occlusive’ pressure on the tissue
under investigation and tissue or probe movement must be avoided as
far as possible
.
In summary:
Recommendations for probe placement depend primarily on the probe type
being used.
Surface probes
Surface type probes (e.g. MSP310NX or MSP300NX) may be attached to
skin or dry tissue surfaces using our double-sided adhesive rings (product
code MSP140AR),
Alternatively, our suturable surface probe (MSP300NX) is designed to be
sutured directly onto a tissue surface.
Needle probes
Needle style probes have a blunt end and, where used for invasive
measurements, should generally be inserted into tissue via a suitable
introducer (e.g. Angiocath™) or via an appropriate incision.
