It is Important to be Aware
2
of the Following when
Monitoring SPO
• A poor SPO signal may result
2
if the probe detector is
exposed to strong ambient
light.
• When securing the probe,
ensure nothing is blocking the
probe light detector.
• Prolonged monitoring may
require changing the probe
site periodically. Monitor the
probe site. Move the probe if
there is any sign of skin
irritation or impaired
circulation.
• Change the probe site at least
EVERY FOUR HOURS to
prevent skin breakdown. With
neonate, you may need to
reduce application periods to
half the recommended time.
