– Do not apply to open wound.
Placement
Remove T-Stat

Sensor. Possibility of contamination presents risk to patient
1. Insert the connector end of the sensor into the T-Stat VLS Monitor, aligning the red line on the sensor
connector nut and the red arrow at 12:00 on the monitor, then rotating one quarter turn clockwise
after insertion (to the locked position.). When locked into position, the white light sensor will
illuminate and will automatically go through recognition and calibration. If this does not happen, this
step is incomplete. Remove the white sticker tape from the face of the surface sensor disk.
2. Place sensor flat on skin surface being careful not to apply too much pressure so as to not cause local
ischemia.
3. Surgical tape or Tegaderm can be used to help make sure the sensor stays in place.
