and is therefore intended for single use. Attempts to clean or sterilize these devices may result in a
bio-incompatibility, infection or product failure risks to the patient.
This device is not made with natural rubber latex or DEHP.

Note: Adhesive sensor consists of sensor, cable and wrap adhesive flaps.
Instructions for Use
The Forehead SpO Sensor may be reused on the same patient. The sensor may be used on the same
2
site, just above the left or right eyebrow, for a maximum of 12 hours, provided the site is inspected
routinely to ensure skin integrity, correct positioning, and adhesion of the sensor. Because individual
skin condition affects the ability of the skin to tolerate sensor placement, it may be necessary to change
the sensor site more frequently with some patients.
The Forehead SpO Sensor is supplied sterile for single patient use only. This sensor does not contain
2
latex. Attached to the sensor are three tabbed adhesive layers and a white paper backing. The
white paper backing is removed prior to initial application on a patient. When the sensor is moved to
a new site on the same patient, expose a fresh adhesive layer by peeling the current adhesive layer
away from the sensor. Packaged with the sensor is a latex-free headband to assist with proper retention
of the sensor. The headband is intended for single patient use and features an adjustable elastic band
for applying tension. Use of the headband is required to reduce the potential effects of venous pulsation
on reading accuracy.
Use this sensor only with Nellcor OxiMax instruments and instruments containing Nellcor OxiMax
oximetry, or with instruments licensed to use Nellcor OxiMax sensors (Nellcor OxiMax-compatible
instruments). This sensor integrates Nellcor OxiMax technology into its design. When connected to an
OxiMax-enabled instrument, this sensor uses OxiMax technology to provide additional advanced sensor
performance features. Consult individual manufacturers for features and compatibility of particular
instruments and sensor models.
Each Nellcor OxiMax-compatible instrument manufacturer is responsible for determining optimal
compatibility conditions and settings for its instruments to provide safe and effective use of each Nellcor
OxiMax sensor. This includes specifications and/or warnings, cautions, or contraindications. Refer to each
instrument operator's manual or consult the manufacturer for complete instructions, warnings, cautions,
or contraindications on the use of this sensor with their Nellcor OxiMax-compatible instruments.
