Attaching the Sensor to the Patient
What you need to know about attaching the sensor to the patient:
2
WARNING! Prolonged use or the patient’s condition may
require changing the sensor site periodically. Change sensor
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 blisters
on the patient’s skin (lack of skin respiration, not heat, causes
the blisters).
Attaching the patient to the monitor requires these steps:
1. Choose the sensor.
2. Check the sensor and oximetry cable.
3. Clean or disinfect the sensor if using the reusable type. (Disposable
sensors are for single-patient use and do not require cleaning or dis-
infecting.)
4. Attach the sensor to the patient.
NOTE! Ensure the device’s AC rating is correct for the AC volt-
age at your installation site before using the monitor. The
monitor’s AC rating is shown on the external power supply. If
the rating is not correct, do not use the monitor; contact the
Smiths Medical PM, Inc. service department or your local dis-
tributor for help.
