Y-Sensor

The reusable Y-Sensor is a flexible versatile sensor designed for use on any patient.
Before applying the sensor to the patient, verify the sensor is physically intact, with no
broken/frayed wires or damaged parts. Ensure the connectors are clean and dry, with no
signs of contamination or corrosion. Do not use a broken or damaged sensor or one with
wet, contaminated, or corroded connectors.
The Y-Sensor's Center Strip is not a functional part of the sensor. Its purpose is to aid in the
placement of the sensor into the tape or other securing system. The center strip may be
removed (carefully cut away) if the distance between the sensor heads needs to be changed
from 25 mm.

Y-Sensor Application using Y-Strip Tapes

1. Select a Y-Strip based on the patient type and intended sensor location.
Y-Strips come in two color coded sizes: 25 mm tapes are coded green, and 20 mm tapes are
coded blue. The size refers to the distance between the holes in the tape.
