Sensor Application
The quality of SpO
2
measurements depends largely on the strength and quality of the
signal received by the sensor.
Infinity Vista monitors support Dräger, Nellcor and Masimo SpO
2
sensors. The SpO
2
menu shows which sensor type is currently selected. If you connect a sensor different
from the type shown in the SpO
2
menu, the monitor displays an error message.
Selecting the sensor type is a password-protected function.To change the sensor type,
contact your Biomed department.
STEPS: Applying the Sensor
1. Select a sensor that is best suited for your patient.
2. Clean reusable sensors before and after each use.
3. Position the sensor correctly and attach it to your patient (see sensor
manufacturer’s recommendations).
4. Connect the sensor to the intermediate cable and the intermediate cable to the
M
ULTIMED/NEOMED pod.
5. Inspect the sensor application site frequently. If the sensor is too tight, it may
damage the tissue and impede blood flow. If the sensor is damaged, do not use it.
