Respirationmeasurementsthataredeterminedusingthebellowsmethodmakechestwall
expansionveryimportantforaccuratemonitoringofapatient’sbreathing.Iftherespiratory
signalappearstoweakenbetweenscans,instructthepatienttobreathemoredeeplyduringthe
scantocreatemoremovementatthesensorsite.
CAUTIONS
• Avoid excessive bending of the flexible hose, as this can impair respiration detection.
• Always apply the bellows to the patient prior to connecting the pneumatic respiration hose
to the port on the wSpO2 module; otherwise damage to the module can result.
Topositiontherespiratorysensor
Step Action
1Placethesensoronthepatient’supperabdomenorlowerchest
(whicheverexpandsmostduringinspiration).
2 Afterthepatienthasexhaled,placethevelcrostraparoundthe
patient’strunkandsecurethe sensorsnuggly.
3Connecttheflexiblehosefrom thebellowstothepneumatic
respirationport
onthewSpO2module.
4CheckthebatteryindicatoronthewSpO2moduletoensurethat
enoughchargeexists:
• Greenbatteryindicator=Charge sufficient;proceedtostep6.
•Redbatteryindicator=Chargelow;proceedtostep5.
Seepage2‐11fordetails.(Also,youcanreferencethestatus
