Typical Questions and Answers

Introduction
1. How do I connect a probe from a pulse oximeter to Index 2MF?
With the pulse oximeter turned on, look for the visible red light coming from the
probe. This side of the pulse oximeter finger probe must go on the bottom of the
Index 2MF finger probe attachment.
2. What type of probes can be connected to Index 2MF?
Index 2MF is designed for an adult-size finger. Adult-size permanent probes and
disposable probes can be tested. Other styles of probes (ear probes) may be used as
long as the physical size is such that their LED's can be positioned on the bottom of
the Index 2MF finger probe attachment and their photo diodes can placed over the
LED output of the Index 2MF finger probe attachment.
3. How should probes be positioned on the Index 2MF finger probe attachment?
Most common probes need to be centered and as far on the Index 2MF finger probe
as possible. The exception to this is the Ohmeda permanent finger probe. The Index
2MF finger probe attachment should only be positioned within the contour of the
Ohmeda permanent finger probe. Refer to Figure F-1. These instructions are only for
the Ohmeda Finger Clip probe. (Ohmeda has two styles of permanent finger probes.)
4. I have connected the probe to Index 2MF and selected a manual simulation of 96 %
SpO2 and a heart rate of 75 BPM. The heart rate on the pulse oximeter reads 75 BPM
but the SpO2 reading on the pulse oximeter is 93 %.
