Slender Digit Gauge Instructions
• The Slender Digit Gauge on the sensor cable is an aid for selecting an appropriate digit for sensor application.
• Use of this gauge is recommended only for patients weighing > 30 kg that have slender digits. Remove the gauge from
the digit BEFORE sensor application.
1. It is preferable to start with the ring finger of the non-dominant hand. If this is too slender, select a larger digit. Slide
the gauge circle on the digit. If the gauge circle stops at any point of the nail bed before the cuticle, the DCI sensor
should be used on that digit (Fig A).
2. If the gauge slides past the cuticle, the digit is too slender for this sensor. Select a different digit, or use a pediatric/
slender digit sensor (DCI-P) on this patient (Fig A).
B. Attaching the sensor to the patient
1. Refer to Fig 1. Open the sensor by pressing on hinge tabs. Position the selected digit so that it corresponds to that
of the finger shown on top of the sensor. Place the selected digit over the sensor window of the sensor. The fleshiest
part of the digit should be covering the detector window in the lower half of the sensor. The top half of the sensor is
identified by the cable. The tip of the finger should touch the raised digit stop inside the sensor. If the fingernail is long,
it may extend over and pass the finger stop.
2. Refer to Fig 2. The hinged tabs of the sensor should open to evenly distribute the grip pressure of the sensor along
the length of the finger. Check the arrangement of the sensor to verify correct positioning. Complete coverage of the
detector window is needed to ensure accurate data.
3. Refer to Fig 3. Orient the sensor so that the cable will be running towards the top of the patient's hand.
NOTE: With smaller digits, in order to completely cover the detector window, it may be necessary to use a lower weight range
sensor. The sensor is not intended for use on the thumb or across a child's hand or foot.
C. Attaching the sensor to patient cable
1. Refer to Fig 4. Orient sensor connector (1) to patient cable connector (2) as shown.
2. Insert sensor connector (1) completely into patient cable connector (2). Close sensor connector cover (3) over patient
cable connector (2) and lock in place as shown in Fig 5.
Disconnecting the sensor from the patient cable
1. Refer to Fig 5. While holding the sides of patient cable connector (2), lift sensor connector cover (3) from patient cable
connector (2).
2. Disconnect sensor connector (1) from patient cable connector (2).
Removing the sensor from the patient
1. Open the sensor by pressing on hinge tabs. Remove the sensor from the digit and follow the cleaning instructions, if
necessary.
2. Store the sensor away for its next use.
CLEANING
To clean the sensor, first remove it from the patient and disconnect it from the instrument. You may then clean the sensor by
wiping it with a 70% isopropyl alcohol pad. Allow the sensor to dry prior to placement on a patient.
