Safety and precautions
– The sensor must not be applied to limbs together with
an arterial catheter, infusion or sphygmomanometer
cuff.
– Blood circulation must not be impeded during
application of the sensor. If possible, the site should
be changed from time to time in order to avoid
pressure necroses at the measuring point.
– The sensor should be protected against bright light
(covered).
– Nellcor sensors should be used exclusively and
applied as described below.
– Damaged sensors must not be used.
– The adhesive strip of the Oxiband sensor must be
discarded after use. It should not be stretched unduly.
Never use two strips together.
