Selecting a Sensor

5-4

The most important factor when selecting a sensor is the position of the light

emitting diodes in relation to the photodetector; when a sensor is applied, the

diodes and the photodetector must be opposite each other. Sensors are

designed for patients within a specific weight range and for specific sites. Be

sure to:

Select a sensor appropriate for the patient's weight.

Select a sensor site with adequate perfusion.

Avoid application to sites with edematous tissue.

Reusable Sensors

Reusable sensors may be reused on different patients after they have been

cleaned and disinfected (see the manufacturer's instructions supplied with the

sensor).

Disposable sensors should be used only once and then discarded. They can be

relocated to a different application site on the patient if the first location does

not give the desired results. Disposable sensors must not be reused on differ-

ent patients.

Semi-disposable sensors can be reused, but the adhesive wrap must be dis-

carded after each use. Semi-disposable sensors are recommended for single-

patient use only.
