8.6.2 Applying the Sensor
1. Select an appropriate sensor according to the module type, patient size, and
weight.
2. Remove colored nail polish from the application site.
3. Apply the sensor to the patient.
4. Connect the sensor to the SpO
2
module and the SpO
2
module to the TM80/TM70.
The SpO

connected to the patient.
WARNING
• When equipped with Masimo SpO
2
module, use only Masimo SpO
2
sen-
sors specified in this manual. Use of other SpO
2
sensors may cause
improper oximeter performance.
• When equipped with Nonin SpO
2
module, use only Nonin SpO
2
sensors
specified in this manual. Use of other SpO
2
sensors may cause improper
oximeter performance.
• When equipped with Nellcor SpO
2
module, use only Nellcor SpO
2
sen-
sors specified in this manual. Use of other SpO
2
sensors may cause
improper oximeter performance.
• Do not disconnect the Nonin SpO
2
sensor connector from the Nonin
SpO2 module during defibrillation.
• If the sensor is too tight because the application site is too large or
becomes too large due to edema, excessive pressure for prolonged peri-
ods may result in venous congestion distal from the application site,
leading to interstitial edema and tissue ischemia.
