Circulation At Application Site; Connecting The Sensor To The Instrument - HP Codemaster 100 User Manual

Circulation at Application Site

• Wrapping the tape too tightly, or using supplemental tape, can cause venous
pulsations that could potentially lead to inaccurate saturation measure-
ments.
• Avoid wrapping the adhesive too tightly and do not use additional tape to
secure the sensor. High positive intrathoracic airway pressures, valsalva
maneuvers, or other consequences of impaired venous return may also

• Only use adhesive wraps recommended by Hewlett-Packard.
• Avoid placing the SpO
blood pressure cuff, or intravascular venous infusion line.
