Read the instruction manual supplied for the sensor carefully before use.
 Finger clip type sensor
• Use only for adult fingers. Do not use the sensor on other body parts.
• For short term monitoring. If the sensor is to be used for 4 hours or longer, alternate
fingers used. For extended monitoring, use a flex type sensor.
• Do not affix the sensor to the finger with tape. This may cause congestion or edema,
resulting in skin damage.
• When cleaning the sensor, clean with a cloth moistened with 70% alcohol or other
disinfectant.
 Flex type / Disposable sensor
• Though the sensor is suitable for long term monitoring, check the skin and sensor
mount at fixed intervals (every 8 hours). If a change or discoloration in skin is detected,
move the sensor to another area.
• If strong light affects the sensor, cover it with an opaque material.
• When securing the sensor with tape, avoid tightening too strongly to prevent
congestion and edema.
• If the patients exhibit allergic reactions to the adhesive tape, stop using the sensor.
Care must be taken while peeling off adhesive tape.
 The temperature on the body part where the SpO
2
sensor is attached rises by 2°C to
3°C, that may cause compression necrosis or burns. If the patient has a fever or suffers
from peripheral circulation disorder, change the sensor site frequently.
 The disposable sensor is sterilized for single use on a single patient. Do not re-use it
on another patient.
 Refer to the manual of each sensor for details.
