The preferred application site for the Neonatal Flexi-Form
Sensor is the outstep of the foot, close to the toes for neonates.
Other sites may not give acceptable results because of
inadequate perfusion or inadequate light transmission. For best
results, secure the cable independently from the sensor. Make
sure that the tape securing the cable does not restrict the blood
flow.

Step 2: Place the sensor on the outstep of the foot just behind
the toes (as close to the toes as possible but not over the toes).
Align the dashed line mark to the center of the outstep edge of
the foot. The light emitter should be on the top and the detector
on the bottom.
