INSTRUCTIONS
A) Site Selection
• Always choose an application site which is well perfused and will completely cover the sensor's detector window.
• When aligning the emitter and detector, the emitter should not be placed behind the nail bed. If this occurs, it may be
necessary to use a lower weight range sensor.
• Site should be cleaned of debris and dry prior to sensor placement.
RD rainbow SET Adt: Adult Sensor
> 30 kg
The preferred site is the middle or ring finger of non-dominant hand.
RD rainbow SET Pdt: Pediatric Sensor
10 - 50 kg The preferred site is middle or ring finger of non-dominant hand.
RD rainbow SET Inf: Infant Sensor
3 - 10 kg
The preferred site is the great toe. Alternatively, the toe next to the great toe, or the thumb can be used.
10 - 30 kg The preferred site is middle or ring finger of non-dominant hand.
RD rainbow SET Neo: Neonatal/Adult Sensor
< 3 kg
The preferred site is the foot. Alternatively, across the palm and back of the hand can be used.
> 30 kg
The preferred site is the middle or ring finger of non-dominant hand.
B) Attaching the sensor to the patient
• Open the pouch and remove the sensor. Remove the backing from the sensor, if present.
Adt Sensor for ADULTS (> 30 kg) and Pdt Sensor for PEDIATRICS (10 - 50 kg)
1. Refer to Fig. 1a. Orient the sensor so that the detector can be placed first. Place the tip of the finger on the dashed line
with the fleshy part of the finger covering the finger outline and detector window.
2. Refer to Fig. 1b. Press the adhesive wings, one at a time, onto the finger. Complete coverage of the detector window
is needed to ensure accurate data.
3. Refer to Fig. 1c. Fold the sensor over the finger with the emitter window ( ) positioned over the fingernail. Secure the
wings down, one at a time, around the finger.
4. Refer to Fig. 1d. When properly applied, the emitter and detector should be vertically aligned (the black lines should
align). Reposition if necessary.
Inf Sensor for INFANTS (3 - 10 kg)
1. Refer to Fig. 2a. Direct the sensor cable so that it runs along the top of the foot. Position the detector on the fleshy pad
of the great toe. Alternatively, the toe next to the great toe, or the thumb can be used (not shown).
2. Refer to Fig. 2b. Wrap the adhesive wrap around the toe/thumb so the emitter is positioned on the back of the nail
bed (not the tip of the nail). Complete coverage of the detector window is needed to ensure accurate data.
3. Refer to Fig. 2c. Ensure that the emitter window ( ) aligns on the top of the toe/thumb directly opposite the detector.
Verify correct positioning and reposition if necessary.
Neo Sensor for NEONATES (< 3 kg)
1. Refer to Fig. 3a. Direct the sensor cable toward the ankle (or wrist). Apply the sensor around the lateral aspect of the
foot (or hand), aligned with the fourth toe (or finger). Complete coverage of the detector window is needed to ensure
accurate data.
2. Refer to Fig. 3b. Wrap the adhesive wrap around the lateral aspect of the foot/hand and ensure that the emitter
( ) aligns with the detector. Be careful to maintain proper alignment of the detector and emitter while attaching
adhesive wrap to secure sensor.
3. Refer to Fig. 3c. Verify correct positioning and reposition if necessary. Continue to wrap the rest of the adhesive wrap
around the foot/hand.
Neo Sensor for ADULTS (> 30 kg) and Inf Sensor for INFANTS (10 - 30 kg)
1. Refer to Fig. 4a. Direct the sensor cable so that it runs along the top of the hand. Position the detector on the fleshy
part of the finger.
2. Refer to Fig. 4b. Wrap the adhesive wrap around the finger so the emitter is positioned on the back of the nail bed
with the edge of the tape at the tip of the finger (not the tip of the nail). Complete coverage of the detector window
is needed to ensure accurate data.
3. Refer to Fig. 4c. Ensure that the emitter window ( ) aligns on the top of the finger directly opposite the detector.
Verify correct positioning and reposition if necessary.
C) Attaching the Sensor to the Patient Cable
1. Refer to Fig. 5a. Orient the sensor's connector tab so that the side with the "shiny" contacts is facing up. Orient the
patient cable with the color bar and finger grips facing up.
2. Refer to Fig. 5b. Insert the sensor tab into the patient cable until there is a tactile or audible click of connection. Gently
tug on the connectors to ensure a positive contact. Tape may be used to secure the cable to the patient for ease of
movement.
