Disposable Pulse Oximetry SpO2 Sensor Directions

DIRECTIONS

1. Depending on the patient, choose the most appropriate monitoring site.
2. Remove the backing from the adhesive part of the sensor.
3. Apply the sensor to the top side of the finger/toe so that the cable lies on top of the finger or toe and the sensing element lies at the base (just below the cuticle) of the finger/toenail. Fold the sensor over so that it wraps around the finger/toe and the bottom portion joins the excess adhesive from the top. Wrap excess adhesive around the finger/toe.
4. Measure pulse oximetry according to the instructions and cautions in the pulse oximeter user‘s manual and this instruction sheet.

CAUTIONS

1. Federal law restricts this device to sale by or on the order of a physician.
2. Do not squeeze or wrap the sensor too tightly. This may compromise skin circulation or cause injury to the skin.
3. Check the digit every few hours to make certain that circulation is normal. If any doubt exists about the circulation, remove the sensor and use a new sensor at a different location.
4. Avoid placing the sensor onto an extremity with a blood pressure cuff or arterial or venous catheter.
5. In the presence of very bright light sources the sensor site must be covered with an opaque material. Failure to do so may result in inaccurate measurements.
6. Foot/hand movement or low perfusion may cause inaccurate measurements.
7. Dependent positions of an extremity may compromise venous return and lower saturation measurements. Therefore, the sensor is best kept at heart level.
