Pronto-7
Sensor Selection
Pronto-7 is compatible with rainbow 4D DC sensors, which has three sizes:
large, medium and small. Use the Finger Size Guide attached to the sensor to
ensure the correct sensor is being used.
1.
Measure the patient's finger size (diameter) at the cuticle to
determine the correct sensor size using the Finger Size Guide.
2.
Gently close sides of Finger Size Guide until the edges touch the
outside of the finger. The arrow indicates which size of sensor should
be used on the patients.
3.
If Finger Size Guide falls on the line select the smaller sensor for
testing.
Sensor Placement
1.
Rest patient's hand and arm with sensor on a horizontal surface. The
hand and arm should be securely resting on a flat surface to limit the
movement of the patient. The patient's hand should be placed on the
table palm side down.
2.
Ensure the test finger just touches the finger stopper at the end of the
sensor without going over it, and sits in line with the finger. This
allows the emitter and detector to be placed on the optimum location
for monitoring.
3.
Examine the finger while placed in the sensors to ensure the emitter
and detector are directly aligned on top of each other.
4.
Ensure the cable runs flat over the top of the hand directly in the
middle of the finger with no kinks or twists so the cable does not pull
on the sensor.
