Masimo LNCS TF-I Mode D'emploi page 4

INSTRUCTIONS
A) Site Selection
• The preferred measuring site is the forehead just above either eye. Do not place the LNCS TF-I on sites with a palpable pulse.
• Site should be cleaned of debris and dry prior to sensor placement.
CAUTION: Before using the sensor, ensure the sensor is physically intact, with no broken or frayed wires or damaged parts.
B) Attaching the sensor to the patient
1. Ensure sensor surface contacting patient skin is dry, clean, free of debris and oil.
2. Refer to Fig. 1. Place one adhesive Pad on sensor surface to contact patient skin, being careful to align the pad such that
it does not cover sensor lenses. Once pad is securely placed, remove top release liner, by pulling from release liner tab.
3. Refer to Fig. 2. Orient the sensor with the emitter and detector 'bumps' toward the patient. Gently press on sensor so that
adhesive Pad forms a good contact with patient skin. Orient the sensor so the cable runs upwards and away from the
patient.
C) Applying the Headband
CAUTION: Headband must be used to avoid inaccurate readings.
1. Refer to Fig. 3. Wrap the Masimo Headband around the patient's head loosely enough to avoid restricting circulation
around the site and tightly enough to maintain proper alignment of the sensor.
2. Refer to Fig. 4. Secure the Headband using the "hook and loop" tab.
3. Refer to Fig. 5. Verify that the sensor is covered and secure behind the Masimo Headband.
4. Use the clothing clip to secure the cable to the patient's gown (not shown).
5. Carefully route the patient cable to reduce the possibility of patient entanglement or strangulation.
D) Attaching the Sensor to the Patient Cable
Refer to Fig. 6. Insert the sensor connector completely into the patient cable connector (1). Completely close the protective
cover.
E) Disconnecting the Sensor from the Patient Cable
Refer to Fig. 7. Lift the protective cover to gain access to the sensor connector (1). Pull firmly on the sensor connector to
remove from the patient cable (2). To avoid damage, pull on the sensor connector, not the cable.
CLEANING
A) To surface clean the sensor
1. Remove the sensor from the patient and disconnect it from the patient cable.
2. Remove Adhesive pad by pulling on white tab and discard. Any residue left by adhesive can easily be removed and cleaned
by wiping with 70% isopropyl alcohol.
3. Clean the LNCS TF-I sensor by wiping with a 70% isopropyl alcohol pad. If low-level disinfection is required, wipe with a
cloth or gauze pad saturated with a 1:10 bleach / water solution.
4. Saturate another cloth or gauze pad with sterile or distilled water and wipe all surfaces of the sensor and cable.
5. Dry the sensor and cable with a clean cloth or dry gauze pad.
CAUTION: Do not use undiluted bleach (5–5.25% sodium hypochlorite) or any cleaning solution other than those
recommended here because permanent damage to the sensor may occur.
B) To clean or disinfect the sensor using a soaking method
1. Place the sensor in the cleaning solution (1:10 bleach / water solution), such that the sensor pads and desired length of
cable are completely immersed.
WARNING: Do not immerse the connector end of the sensor cable as this may damage the sensor.
2. Dislodge air bubbles by gently shaking the sensor and cable.
3. Soak the sensor and the cable for at least 10 minutes and not greater than 24 hours.
4. Remove from cleaning solution.
5. Place the sensor and the cable in room temperature sterile or distilled water for 10 minutes. Do not immerse the connector.
6. Remove from the water.
7. Dry the sensor and cable by wiping all surfaces with a clean cloth or dry gauze pad.
CAUTION: To prevent damage, do not soak or immerse the connector on the LNCS TF-I cable in any liquid solution.
CAUTION: Do not sterilize by irradiation, steam, autoclave, Gluteraldehyde (Cidex) or ethylene oxide.
CAUTION: Before using the sensor, ensure the sensor is physically intact, with no broken or frayed wires or damaged parts.
Visually inspect the sensor and discard if cracks or discoloration are found.
