>Exercise extreme caution with poorly perfused patients;
skin erosion and/or pressure necrosis can be caused
when the sensor is not frequently moved. Assess site at
least every two (2) hours with poorly perfused patients.
>During low perfusion, the sensor site needs to be
assessed frequently for signs of tissue ischemia, which
can lead to pressure necrosis.
>Do not use tape to secure the sensor to the site; this
can restrict blood flow and cause inaccurate readings.
Use of additional tape can cause skin damage and/or
pressure necrosis or damage the sensor.
>The sensor should be free of visible defects,
discoloration, and damage. Never use a damaged
sensor or one with exposed electrical circuitry.

>Clean the reusable sensor and cable after each use
>Properly store the reusable sensor between uses
>Use the area on the sensor to mark each time a new adhesive
sensor is applied
>Test the assembled sensor on the oximeter before applying the
sensor to the patient
>Maintain a back-up supply of reusable and adhesive sensors
>Do Not discard the reusable sensor after use
>Minimize the use of multiple adhesive sensors per patient

Please see product’s Directions for Use for more information
>Only the reusable sensor can be cleaned and reused
>Remove the adhesive sensor from the patient and disconnect the reusable sensor
from the patient cable
>Remove the reusable sensor from the adhesive sensor. Discard the adhesive sensor
after use
>Clean the reusable sensor components by wiping with a 70% isopropyl alcohol pad or
a cloth saturated with mild detergent.
>If low level disinfection is required, use a 1:10 bleach / water solution
>Saturate a cloth or gauze pad with the cleaning solution and wipe all surfaces of the
sensor, cable, and connector
>Saturate another cloth or gauze pad with sterile or distilled water and wipe all
surfaces of the sensor, cable, and connector to remove any cleaning solution residue
>Dry the reusable sensor with a clean cloth and allow the cleansed sensor to dry
thoroughly before use
