Pronto-7
Performing a Test
1. Ensure the patient has been in the sitting or supine position for 2-3
minutes.
2. With the sensor properly applied, ensure the patient's hand and arm
are securely resting on a flat surface to limit movement of the patient
during the reading.
3. Tap the Test icon on the Test Ready screen to commence the test.
In instances of test incomplete messages, try the following to increase the
probability of a successful test:
•
Remove Nail Polish/Acrylics as certain types of nail polish and
acrylics may affect the reading.
•
Warm Finger to increase perfusion.
•
Use a light shield to cover the sensor from ambient light interference.
Do not perform measurements in environments with high ambient light or in
front of monitors as incomplete tests may occur. In these environments, a
Masimo ambient light shield should be used to limit the effect on the
measurement
