The following table and chart will help you in selecting the correct sensor type. .
Sensor Type When to Use
Reusable You can use reusable sensors on different
patients after cleaning and disinfecting them.
For care and cleaning instructions, see the
instructions accompanying the sensors. Reusable
sensors should be changed to another site every
2-3 hours or in accordance with your clinical
practice guidelines.
See the Directions for Use supplied by Nellcor®
Incorporated for instructions on preparation and
application of reusable sensors.
Disposable Use disposable sensors only once and then
discard. However, you can relocate them to a
different patient-site if the first location does not
give the desired results. Do not reuse disposable
sensors on different patients.
See the Directions for Use supplied by Nellcor®
Incorporated for instructions on preparation and
application of disposable sensors.
