• Do not place a clip-on finger sensor on a patient’s
thumb or across a child’s foot or hand.
• Observe the sensor site to assure adequate distal
circulation.
Monitor performance:
• For best performance, place the sensor at heart level.
• Placing a sensor distal to an arterial line may interfere
with adequate arterial pulsation and compromise the
measurement of SpO
2
.
• Place the sensor so that the LEDs and the photodiode
are opposite each other.
3. Plug the SpO
2
sensor extension cable into the SpO
2
sensor connector (23).
4. Proceed with monitoring. SpO
2
determinations run
continuously and can run simultaneously with other
measurements.
