Applying the Sensor
Small Adult/ Push the sensor over the fingertip in such a way that the fingertip touches but
Pediatric does not protrude from the end of the sensor.
Finger sensor
(M1192A)
Ear Clip sensor
Clip the probe onto the fleshy part of the ear lobe as shown in the diagram
(M1194A)
below. The plastic fixing mechanism helps to minimize artifact generated by
patient motion. Do not position the probe on cartilage or where it presses
against the head.
The clip sensor can be used as an alternative if the adult finger sensor does not
provide satisfactory results. The preferred application site is the ear lobe,
although other application sites with higher perfusion (such as the nostril) can
be used. Due to the physiologically lower perfusion in the ear lobe, you should
be aware of the reduced accuracy of the measurement and more frequent
technical alarms.
