Before Applying the Sensor
Be sure to read and understand all Warnings listed in your SpO
monitoring instrument IFU, as well as all Warnings described in this
sensor IFU. Use sensors only with validated instruments and at a
recommended patient application area.
Inspect Sensor for Damage
• Before reusing, inspect the sensor outside and inside. To check the inside
of a glove style sensor, gently open the finger cavity and check for splits
on or next to the transparent silicone that covers the optical elements. Be
sure there are no blisters on the silicone and no liquid leaking from
sensor optics.
• Any sensor showing signs of damage or alteration must not be used for
further patient monitoring; instead, dispose of it using proper disposal
procedures (see below).
Sensor Disposal
Disposal of Deteriorated Sensors
Any sensor showing signs of physical or electrical deterioration or failure
should be disinfected, decontaminated, and disposed of according to local
laws regarding the disposal of hospital waste.
Change Application Site Periodically
Move the sensor application site every 4 hours, or more often if
circulation or skin integrity is compromised.
