Patient Preparation
Patient Positioning
Make sure the patient is lying comfortably, in either supine or prone position (as most suitable).
Skin Preparation
Preparation of the patient’s skin should be in accordance with standard hospital protocol. In
addition, the following guidelines are recommended:
Select an area for attachment of each Starling Sensor that is as flat as possible.
(Refer to the four areas illustrated in Figure 5-4).
Skin should be intact, clean, dry and the area should be hairless.
Shave body hair and wipe the patient’s skin with alcohol (70%), if necessary.
If alcohol is used to prep the skin, allow time for the skin to dry prior to placement of
the Starling Sensors in order to preserve optimal gel performance.
Do not apply Starling Sensors to skin that is not intact or that shows signs of infection, allergic
conditions, burns, etc.
