NOTE:
1 Make sure the nail covers the light window. The wire should be on the backside of the
hand.
2 SpO waveform is not proportional to the pulse volume.

3 Avoid placing the sensor on extremities with an arterial catheter, or intravascular
venous infusion line.
Don‟t use the functional simulator to assess the SpO

8.3 Measuring SpO

1. Select the correct patient category setting (adult/pediatric and neonatal), as this is used to
optimize the calculation of the SpO
2. During measurement, ensure that the application site:
– has a pulsatile flow, ideally with a good circulation perfusion.
– has not changed in its thickness, causing an improper fit of the sensor.
Measurement Procedure
1. Switch on the monitor.
2. Attach the sensor to the appropriate site of the patient finger.
3. Plug the connector of the sensor extension cable into the SpO
Inspect the application site every two to three hours to ensure skin quality and correct
optical alignment. If the skin quality changes, move the sensor to another site. Change
the application site at least every four hours. For neonate, change the measuring site
every 20 minutes.
