CAUTION: Do not place the sensor on an extremity with an invasive catheter or blood pressure
cuff in place.
CAUTION: A pulse oximeter should not be used as an apeana mnitor.
CAUTION: A pulse oximeter should be considered an early warning device. As a trend towards
patient deoxygenation is indicated, blood samples should be analyzed by a laboratory co-oximeter to
completely understand the patient's condition.
CAUTION: Ensure proper routing of the patient cable to avoid entanglement and/or strangulation
NOTE: In the event you are unable to obtain a reading, or the reading is inaccurate,
check the patients vital signs by alternate means and consider the following:
·
If your patient is poorly perfused, try applying the sensor to another site (i.e. A
different finger or toe).
·
Check that the sensor is properly aligned.
·
In electrosurgery, make sure the sensor is not too close to ESU devices or cables.
·
Check to make sure the site area is clean / non-greasy. Clean the site and sensor if
needed. Nail polish and fungus should be removed.

Datascope Pulse Oximetry Sensors

A. Introduction
A wide range of Datascope sensors are available for connection to the Accutorr Plus
model with SpO . The sensors cover both short-term and long-term monitoring needs on
2
patients ranging from infants to large adults.
The DATASENSOR is intended for short-term adult monitoring.
®
The FLEXISENSOR SD, available in five different sizes, provides both short-term and
long-term monitoring for large adults, adult ear, adults, pediatrics, and infants. The
®
FLEXISENSOR SD is used when the DATASENSOR is not convenient or suitable.
The ear sensor is intended for long-term adult monitoring. A range of disposable bandages
are available for use with the FLEXISENSOR
GUARD™ (used for large adults, adults and pediatrics), and Coban with SENSOR
GUARD™ (used for infants).
Use of the sensors does not cause any penetration of the skin, nor is there any electrical
contact or transfer of excessive heat to the patient.
The sensor is composed of a dual light emitting diode (LED) (emitter) and a photo
diode (detector). The emitter discharges two colors (wave lengths) of light into the
patient's extremity (finger, toe, ear). The detector receives the light not absorbed by the
blood or tissue components. The Accutorr Plus model with SpO
