Y-Sensor

Y-Sensor
The reusable Y-Sensor is a flexible sensor designed for use on any patient.
The Y-Sensor's Center Strip is not a functional part of the sensor. Its twofold purpose is to aid in the
placement of the sensor into the Y-Strip or other securing system and to limit the distance between the
sensor heads to no more than 25 mm. The center strip may be removed (carefully cut away) if the distance
between the sensor heads needs to be reduced to less than 25 mm.

Y-Sensor Application using Wrap Style Tapes

1. Select a Y-Strip based on the patient type and intended sensor location.
2. Remove the portion of the release liner containing the holes.
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.
