Infant and Neonatal Disposable Sensors

•
Do not stretch the tape while applying
WARNING
the sensor. This may cause inaccurate
readings or skin blisters.
•
Check application site frequently to
determine circulation, positioning, and
skin sensitivity of the patient. Each
patient's sensitivity to Respironics
sensors may vary depending on their
medical status or the condition of their
skin.

1. Infant Flexi-Form Sensor

The preferred application site for the Infant Flexi-Form
is the large toe of infants. Other sites may not give acceptable
results because of inadequate perfusion or inadequate light
transmission.
For best results, secure cable independently from the sensor,
preferably around the patient's ankle or lower leg. Make sure
the tape securing the cable does not restrict blood flow.
Step 1: Grip the sensor's adhesive backing and peel the
adhesive off carefully, from top to bottom, as illustrated.
Step 2: Place the sensor on the large toe with the center line
indicated on the sensor centered on the side of the large toe,
taking care to have the detector centered on the bottom of the
toe and the emitter located directly opposite on the toe nail, as
illustrated.
