To disconnect the sensor:
1.
Lift the protective cover to gain access to the sensor connector.
2.
Pull firmly on the sensor connector to remove the patient cable. To avoid damage, pull on the sensor
connector, not the cable.
To disconnect the sensor from the clip:
1.
Gently lift each sensor pad up and out of the clip.
Where to Apply the Masimo M-LNCS TF-I AH Reusable Transflectance Sensor
CAUTION:
Exercise extreme caution with poorly perfused patients; skin erosion and/or pressure necrosis can be
caused when the sensor is not frequently moved. Assess site as frequently as every hour with poorly perfused
patients and move the sensor if there are signs of tissue ischemia.
Application site should be cleaned of debris and dry prior to sensor placement. Dark pigmentation, thick fur, ambient
light, low or poor perfusion, and movement of the sensor at the site may impact the accuracy of pulse oximetry.
Recommended application site is ventral tail-base.
1.
Apply the sensor to the patient at the selected monitoring site as shown below and gently press on the
sensor so that the adhesive tab forms a good contact with patient’s skin.
2.
Connect the sensor connector and the patient cable connector, securing with the protective cover.
For
complete instructions on connecting the Masimo sensor and patient cable to the Vet30E, see Section 3.
To disconnect the sensor:
1.

Taking a Masimo SpO
2
Measurement
1
.
Place SpO
2
sensor on patient and connect to Vet30E as described above.
2. Power up and select animal mode. Once the SpO
2
sensor is connected and sensing a reading, the monitor will
begin to beep at the pulse rate. The bars in the bar graph will indicate the signal strength and pulse rate. When more
bars are filled in, the signal strength is stronger. The monitor will not beep if speaker is OFF. Verify that the sensor is
properly positioned and correctly detecting the SpO
2
% by watching several seconds of data. When the monitor is
searching for a signal, the dashes in the SpO
2
section of the screen will flash. If the monitor is having trouble
obtaining SpO
2
%, re-position the sensor to another location. The measurement site must be changed every 4 hours
to guarantee the integrity of the patient’s skin.
If the SpO
2
sensor falls off or is removed from the patient, the pulse rate beep will stop and dashes will appear on the
screen in place of the SpO
2
reading. If volume is on, an audible tone will sound.
TIP
: For systems that include SpO
2
and it is currently being monitored, the SpO
2
heart rate takes precedence over the
BP heart rate.

Potential causes of difficulty in obtaining a reading can include:
