Available Monitoring Time [hrs]: Indicates the time
available for patient monitoring, i.e. the time interval after
removing the sensor from the Docking Station or applying
the sensor to the patient until the selected ‘Site Time’ or - if
PCO
2
is enabled - the ‘Calibration Interval’ (p. 16) will elapse
(whichever occurs first).
Membrane Change is due in [days]: Indicates the number
of days left until the next membrane change (p. 17) is
mandatory (only if PCO
2
is enabled).
Recommended Sensor Stabilization [mins]: Indicates
the recommended sensor stabilization duration in minutes.
Only displayed if sensor stabilization is recommended and if
the display of this message is enabled.
Status Bar: If the ‘Ready for use’ screen displays, temporary
display of the ‘Status Bar’ (p. 48) can be activated by
pressing any of the control-buttons (p. 42). The ‘Status
Bar’ also displays during an ongoing sensor calibration or if an
alarm condition occurs.
Note: If the SDM is in Sleep Mode, the display is inactive
(black). Press any of the control buttons (p. 42) to activate
the display.
Sensor Application Using a Multi-Site
Attachment Ring/Easy
According to the procedure described point by point below,
a Multi-Site Attachment Ring (MAR) or Multi-Site Attachment
Ring Easy (MARe) is first attached to the measurement site,
one small drop of contact liquid is then applied to the center
of the sensor and finally the sensor is snapped into the ring.
Alternatively, you may also click the sensor into the ring first,
remove the protective liner of the adhesive tape, and then
apply one small drop of contact liquid on the center of the
sensor. In this case ensure to keep the sensor/ring assembly
such that the contact liquid does not run off the sensor face
and flip-over the sensor/ring assembly just before attaching it
to the skin.
WARNING: Application of any pressure to the
measurement site (e.g. by using a pressure bandage) may
cause pressure ischemia at the measurement site and,
consequently, inaccurate measurements, necrosis or – in
combination with heated sensors – burns.
1. Check current SDM Settings/SDM Profile and verify system
readiness (message ‘Ready for use’, p. 22). Change SDM
Settings/SDM Profile if necessary.
2. Clean the site with a swab wetted with 70% isopropanol
(or according to your institution’s skin cleaning/degreasing
procedures) and let it dry. If necessary, remove hair.
