Setting Up SpO
2
Monitoring
When you connect the adapter cable to the module the SPO2 key will be
displayed. Attach the sensor to the patient and then to the adapter cable.
An adapter cable is required between the sensor and the module. 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.
Connect the SpO
2
adapter cable to the module or telemetry transmitter by aligning
the cable with the notch on the SpO
2
connector on the front of the module or
telemetry transmitter. Push the cable straight into the connector. To remove the
cable, press the latch release on the bottom of the cable and pull the cable
straight out.

• Pulse oximetry may interfere with magnetic resonance imaging
(MRI) procedures. Refer to your hospital’s protocols for specific
instructions.
• You can define your own default settings for such
characteristics as alarm limits and display configuration. Refer
to Setting User-Defined Default Values on page 7-7 for further
information.
• The ECG lead wires of the 90343 telemetry transmitter must be
connected to the patient in order to perform ECG and blood
oxygen saturation monitoring.
CAUTION:
• Use only patient sensors specified by Spacelabs Medical. If
you use sensors other than those specified, it may degrade
performance and could damage the monitor during
defibrillation.
• Spacelabs Medical recommends the use of sensors
repaired or remanufactured by the original manufacturer
only.
• Check the sensor site frequently. Do not allow the sensor
to remain on one site for a prolonged period of time,
especially when monitoring neonates. Refer to the sensor
manufacturer's instructions.
• Never attach an SpO
2
sensor on 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.
Re-apply the sensor. Refer to Using the Sensorwatch
Feature on page 14-6 for further details.
• Choose a site with sufficient perfusion to ensure accurate
oximetry values.
