3. Skip this step if using the 25 mm Y-Strip tape.
If using the 20 mm Y-Strip tape, carefully remove the sensor's center strip using a
pair of scissors or a sharp blade.
The center strip does not effect sensor operation, its purpose is to aid putting the sensor into
the 25 mm tape.
4. Press the "button", on the back of each sensor head, through a hole in the tape.
Press in from the sticky side of the tape. The tape will stretch to fit the sensor button.

5. Remove the remaining release liner and apply the sensor/tape to the patient.
Do not wrap the tape around the limb so tightly that circulation is restricted. Inspect the
site often for adequate circulation—at least once every four hours.
Ensure that the sensor heads are directly opposite each other through the tissue. This
prevents the sensor from being placed on a site too thick (high arch) for proper operation.
Position the sensor so that the tape does not extend over the space between the fingers or
toes to insure there will be no light transmission through this space.
6. To maximize sensor life, secure the sensor to the patient with additional tape.
