Electrodes, Leadwires, Sensors, and Sensor Cables
Note:
For cleaning and disinfecting procedures, refer to the Cleaning,
Disinfecting, and Sterilization chapter of this manual.
• Visually inspect each leadwire for obvious damage and
replace as needed.
• Use only patient cables and leadwires specified by
Spacelabs Healthcare. Other cables and leadwires may
damage the monitor during defibrillation and may also
change the required input impedance and DC offset
voltage, affecting performance.
• Do not use stainless steel electrodes.
• Do not allow conductive parts of electrode leads or
connectors, including the neutral electrode, to contact
other conductive parts, including the ground.
• Use only patient sensors specified by Spacelabs
Healthcare. If you use sensors other than those specified,
it may degrade SpO
2
performance and could damage the
monitor during defibrillation.
• Spacelabs Healthcare recommends the use of sensors
repaired or remanufactured by the original manufacturer
only.
• Never attach an SpO
2
sensor to a limb being monitored
with a blood pressure cuff or a limb with restricted blood
flow.
• A poorly applied sensor may give incorrect saturation
values. The Sensorwatch signal-strength indicator is used
to identify a poorly applied sensor or a poorly chosen
site. Refer to Using the Sensorwatch Feature on
page 3-14 for additional information.
• Choose a site with sufficient perfusion to ensure accurate
oximetry values.
• Make sure the electrodes and skin are dry.
• An adapter cable is required between the sensor and the
transmitter. Do not discard the adapter cable when you
have finished using a disposable oximetry sensor.
Disconnect the sensor cable from the adapter cable
before discarding the sensor.
