Neonatal hand or foot, for patients between 1kg and 4kg.
• A-Series: M1193A
• Special Edition (SE) A-Series: M1193AN
Applying Ear-Clip Sensors
Adult or pediatric ear, for patients more than 40kg.
• A-Series: M1194A, or
• Special Edition (SE) A-Series: M1194AN
Step Applying the Hand/Foot Sensor
1 Position the sensor over the hand or foot with optical components
opposite each other.
2 Holding sensor, stretch strap slightly (not more than 2.5cm (1.0”).
3 Insert stretched strap into slot, hold it there while threading end
through latch. If strap is too long, thread it through second latch.
4 Plug sensor into instrument (or into adapter cable if needed).
5 Inspect and change the sensor application site periodically.
Step Applying the Ear-Clip Sensor
1 To improve perfusion, massage or warm the ear lobe.
2 Clip probe onto fleshy part of the lobe. Plastic fixing mechanism
minimizes artifact generated by patient motion. Do not position
probe on cartilage or pressed against the head.
3 Plug sensor into instrument (or into adapter cable if needed).
4 Inspect and change the sensor application site periodically.
