Attaching.the.Respiration.Sensor
1. Clean and dry the infant’s abdomen.
2. The most suitable position for attaching the Respiration Sensor is just
below the navel, slightly to the left or right.
Fix the Respiration Sensor pad and tube using hypo allergenic tape 50
mm wide and 100 mm long. Position the Sensor tube down between
the infant’s legs to the Monitor, so that it is away from the neck, or so
that the infant cannot play with it (see illustration). The Respiration
Sensor can be worn under clothing (even nappies). In this case,
however, ensure that the Sensor tube is passed through the clothing.
3. It is important to ensure that the Respiration Sensor connector is
pushed firmly into the Monitor’s connector socket using a slight
twisting action. Do not apply excessive pressure.
NOTE:
When attaching the
Respiration Sensor pad ensure
that the tape is long enough
and does not interfere with the
Respiration Sensor.
The tape should not be
stretched too tightly over the
Sensor pad. Only the Smiths
Medical Respiration Sensor
should be used,
