SPO

■ Patient Preparation for SPO
2
Monitoring:
• Choose the probe that is best
suited for your patient’s
needs: ear, finger, disposable,
reusable, etc.
• Clean the surface of the probe
before and after each patient
use.
• Following the instructions
provided with the probe,
correctly position and attach
the probe to your patient.
• When a Masimo sensor is
repositioned at any time,
disconnect the cable from the
sensor before repositioning.
• Reconnect the sensor to the
cable after proper patient
preparation and placement.
■ It is Important to be Aware
of the Following when
Monitoring SPO
2
:
• A poor SPO
2
signal may result
if the probe detector is
exposed to strong ambient
light.
• When securing the probe,
ensure nothing is blocking the
probe light detector.
• Prolonged monitoring may
require changing the probe
site periodically. Monitor the
probe site. Move the probe if
there is any sign of skin
irritation or impaired
circulation.
• Change the probe site at least
EVERY FOUR HOURS to
prevent skin breakdown. With
neonate, you may need to
reduce application periods to
half the recommended time.
