ReSposable Sensor Application Guidelines
> The preferred sites are the ring or middle finger of the non-dominant
hand
> Compare the fingers and use the thinnest finger that will completely
cover the detector window
> Use a pediatric sensor (R2-20a/R2-20r) for patients with slender digits
that don’t completely cover the detector window
> Always choose a site that is well perfused and has little motion
> Intravascular dyes or externally applied coloring (such as nail polish)
may lead to inaccurate measurements
> Once the sensor is applied, use the red lines on the sensor to check
alignment; be sure that the emitter is directly over the detector
> In areas with excessive ambient light or monitors which emit bright light,
cover the sensor with a dark or opaque material such as an ambient
light shield
> Connect the sensor to the patient cable following application

ReSposable Sensor Guidelines - Inspection
> The sensor site for ReSposable sensors must be
checked or changed at least every eight (8) hours to
ensure adequate adhesion, circulation, skin
integrity and correct optical alignment
> When changing application sites or reapplying the
adhesive sensor, first disconnect the reusable
sensor from the patient cable and reconnect once
the sensor is repositioned/reapplied to the patient

ReSposable Sensor Guidelines - Caution
> 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.
