SpO, sensor to the limb opposite the one with the
blood pressure cuff.
Remove nail polish and artificial nails. Placing a sensor
on a polished or an artificial nail may affect accuracy.
Cautions
Patient safety:
Do not place any clip-on sensor in a patient's mouth
or on a patient's nose or toe.
Do not place a clip-on finger
sensor on a patient's
thumb or across a child's foot or hand.
Observe the sensor site to assure adequate distal
circulation.
Monitor performance:
l
For best performance, place the sensor at heart level.

Placing a sensor distal to an arterial line may interfere
with adequate arterial pulsation and compromise the

Using the Monitor
Following the directions for use supplied
with the sensor,
apply the sensor to the patient.
Warnings
Patient safety:
If you fail to apply the sensor properly, the patient's
skin could be injured or the ability of the PRO
Monitor to measure oxygen saturation could be
compromised, For example, a clip-on
sensor should
never be taped shut. Taping the sensor could damage
the patient's skin or impair the venous return, thus
causing venous pulsation and inaccurate
measurement of oxygen saturation.
Excessive pressure from the sensor may cause necrosis
of the skin.
