• If there is excessive light, cover the sensor with opaque
material.
• Circulation distal to the sensor site should be checked

ensure adhesion, skin integrity, and correct optical
alignment. If skin integrity changes, move the sensor to
another site.
• Try to keep the patient still, or change the sensor site to
