Wind the SpO
2
sensor around a hand or foot of a neonate patient. Hold the sensor,
pull the belt and fit one of its sides with “V” edge into the “V” groove on the
corresponding side of the sheath. Appropriately elongate the belt to about 20mm,
and fit the “V” edge of the other side of the belt into the “V” groove of the other side
of the sheath. Then, loosen the belt. After the “V” edges of the two sides of the belt
fit well into the “V” grooves on the two sides of the sheath, put the belt into the first
lock bar to fasten the belt. SeeFigure 12-5. If the belt is too long, you may put it into
the second lock bar. You must position the SpO
2
sensor in this way so as to make the
photoelectric component face the correct position. Besides, note not to elongate the
belt too much, which may lead to inaccurate measurement and block the blood
circulation severely.
