Change the Sensor

Y
our clinician can help you determine when the
sensor needs changing or moving to another
location on the patient. Check for the following when
a sensor has been applied to the patient for a period of
time:
• Patient develops dryness, redness, or soreness on
the skin underneath the sensor.
WARNING - If skin irritation occurs, change the
location of the sensor immediately to prevent
further skin damage, and contact your clinician.
• Adhesive on the sensor is not sticking very well.
• Sensor falls off easily, or falls off immediately after
you have attached it to the patient.
