Attach the Sensor to the Patient
Clean or Disinfect the Sensors
Clean or disinfect the reusable sensors before attaching a new patient.
Clean the sensor with a soft cloth moistened in water or a mild soap solu-
tion. To disinfect the sensor, wipe the sensor with isopropyl alcohol.
Finger Sensor for Adult or Pediatric Finger
Attach the finger sensor to
the patient as shown. Be
sure to fully insert the
patient’s finger into the sen-
sor. For patients with long
fingernails, use the universal
“Y” sensor.

WARNING! Prolonged use or the patient’s condition may
require changing the sensor site periodically. Change sen-
sor site and check skin integrity, circulatory status, and
correct alignment at least every 4 hours.
2
WARNING! When attaching sensors with Microfoam® tape,
do not stretch the tape or attach the tape too tightly. Tape
applied too tightly may cause inaccurate readings and blis-
ters on the patient’s skin (lack of skin respiration, not heat,
causes the blisters).
2
WARNING! Do not autoclave, ethylene oxide sterilize, or
immerse the sensors in liquid.

CAUTION! Unplug the sensor from the monitor before
cleaning or disinfecting.
