Sensors & Patient Cables (Pulse Oximeter)
This section covers the use and cleaning of Masimo SET sensors and Masimo SET
patient cables.
Before use of any sensor or cable, carefully read the sensor or cable Directions for
Use. Use only Masimo oximetry sensors and cables for SpO
2
measurements. Other
oxygen transducers or sensors may cause improper pulse oximeter performance.
Tissue damage can be caused by incorrect application or use of a Masimo sensor, for
example by wrapping the sensor too tightly. Inspect the sensor site as directed in the
sensor Directions for Use to ensure skin integrity and correct positioning and
adhesion of the sensor.
Do not use damaged sensors. Do not use a sensor with exposed optical or
electrical components. Do not immerse the sensor in water, solvents, or
cleaning solutions (the sensors and connectors are not waterproof). Do not
sterilize by irradiation, steam, or ethylene oxide. See the cleaning instructions
in the Directions for Use for reusable Masimo sensors.
Do not use damaged patient cables. Do not immerse the patient cables in
water, solvents, or cleaning solutions (the patient cable connectors are not
waterproof). Do not sterilize by irradiation, steam, or ethylene oxide.
compatibility of the monitor, cable and sensor before use, otherwise patient
injury can result.
Do not use additional tape to wrap sensor.

Sensors & Patient Cables (Pulse Oximeter)
When selecting a sensor, consider the patient’s weight, the adequacy of perfusion, the
available sensor sites, and the duration of monitoring. For more information refer to
the following table or contact your MTTS representative. Use only Masimo SET
sensors and sensor cables. Select an appropriate sensor, apply it as directed, and
observe all warnings and cautions presented in the Directions for Use accompanying
the sensor. High ambient light sources such as surgical lights (especially those with
direct sunlight can interfere with the performance of an SpO
2
sensor. To prevent
interference from ambient light, ensure that the sensor is properly applied, and cover
the sensor site with opaque material, if required. Failure to take this precaution in
high ambient light conditions may result in inaccurate measurements.
Unless indicated otherwise in the Directions for Use, reposition reusable sensors at
least every 4 hours and for adhesive sensors inspect the site at least every 8 hours
or sooner. If indicated by circulatory condition or skin integrity, reapply to a different
monitoring site.
