Before applying the sensor to the patient, view the sensor application animation
video. To open the video, click Sensor Application Guide on the Connect sensor
to begin monitoring screen. Apply the sensor to the patient as described in the
video.
Please note that this video, the instructions, and the sketch below describe applying
the sensor to the left side of the patient’s head; the sensor may also be applied to the
right side of the patient’s head. To apply to the right side of the patient’s head, follow
the instructions below, starting to apply the sensor from the middle of the patient’s
forehead, and following the instructions in reverse, applying the sensor towards the
right side of the patient’s face.
Note the sequence of the application of the sensor the patient’s forehead, as follows:
1. Clean the patient’s forehead with a disinfectant wipe.
2. Hold the sensor over the patient’s forehead to ascertain where to place the
sensor. Note that the section labeled with a target circle and the number 1
should be placed on the forehead directly above the bridge of the nose,
and the other sections of the sensor should be located in succession
towards the left side of the patient’s face, so that the last section of the
sensor, labeled with a target circle and the number 4, will be placed on the
left side of the patient’s face at the level of his eye. See the sketch below.
(For the pediatric sensor, the sections of the sensor are marked by
numbered sketches rather than by circles.) If preferred, the sensor may be
placed on the right side of the patient’s forehead, by simply following
these instructions in reverse.
3. Each sensor section contains both adhesive (in the ring of the target circle)
and conductive gel (in the center of the target circle). For each section of
the sensor, place it in its proper position on the patient’s forehead and
press the white ring around the target circle to seal the adhesive to the
skin. Repeat with each section of the sensor.
4. Once the adhesive portion of all of the sensor’s sections has been firmly
adhered to the patient’s forehead, press the center of each target circle and
hold for 5 seconds to push the conducting gel into position.
5. For a 4-channel system using a Bilateral sensor, position the sections of the
sensor on the patient’s face as seen on the sensor packaging, with the
target circle marked with the letter C above the bridge of the patient’s
nose, and seal the adhesive and push the conductive gel into position for
each section of the sensor as described above.
