10.4. Monitoring Procedure
1. Select an appropriate sensor according to the module type, patient category
and weight.
2. Clean the contact surface of the reusable sensor.
3. Remove colored nail polish from the application site.
4. Apply the SpO2 sensor to the patient according to the instruction for use of
the sensor.
5. Select an appropriate extension cable according to the connector type and plug
the cable into the SpO2 connector.
6. Connect the SpO2 sensor to the extension cable.
CAUTION:
Do not apply sensor too tightly as this results in venous pulsation which may
severely obstruct circulation and lead to inaccurate measurements.
At elevated ambient temperatures be careful with measurement sites that are
not well perfused, because this can cause burns after prolonged application.
Avoid placing the sensor on extremities with an arterial catheter, an NIBP cuff
or an intravascular venous infusion line.
For neonatal patients, make sure that all sensor connectors and adapter cable
connectors are outside the incubator. The humid atmosphere inside can cause
inaccurate measurements.
