If the sensor is not positioned properly, light may bypass the tissue and result in pulse oximetry inaccuracies. CAUTION: Some nail polish colors (particularly dark shades) or artiﬁcial nails may re- duce light transmissions and affect pulse oximetry accuracy.
Page 18 Operation, continued Preparing the Patient for Pulse Oximetry - Forehead Application Designed for use on well-vascularized skin surfaces of patients weighing greater than 30 kilograms. The application site will usually be the forehead. Note: Reﬂectance Sensors generally do not perform as well as sensors located on the ﬁngers or toes.
