SpO

Nellcor provides a family of sensors suitable for a wide variety of clinical settings and
patients. Specific sensors have been developed for a variety of patient sizes.
CAUTION: When equipped with Nellcor SpO2, use only Nellcor oxygen
sensors and cables. Use of other oxygen sensors may cause
improper oximeter performance.
The DS-100A Finger Clip Sensor is shipped with the Nellcor version of the Duo. This sensor
is a combination sensor/cable/connector that attaches to the monitor.
NOTE: Refer to instructions included with each SpO
2
sensor and
cable for proper placement and use.
1. Select an SpO
2
sensor that is appropriate for the size of the patient.
2. Attach the SpO
2
sensor to the patient’s finger.
3. Attach the connector end of the SpO
2
sensor to
the SpO
2
extension cable.
4. Plug the connector from the SpO
2
extension cable
into the SpO
2
receptacle on the front panel of the
Duo. The SpO
2
measurement will display when
the Duo detects that the sensor is connected to
the patient.
These results are updated once every second and can display for a maximum of 2 minutes
during continuous SpO
2
measurement.
NOTE: To disconnect the cable from the Duo, squeeze the tabs on
the sides of the connector and then pull it straight out.
