Nellcor Blood Pressure Monitor User manual
An index finger is the preferred sensor site. Alternatively, apply the sensor to a smaller
finger, thumb or great toe. Use the pediatric sensor for pediatric patients weighing 10
to 50 kg. Use the adult sensor for adults weighing more than 30 kg.
Remove the transparent backing from the
sensor. Locate window and alignment
marks. Orient the sensor so the dashed
line is centered on the tip of the digit and
the windows oppose each other.
Apply the noncable half of the sensor
to the bottom of the digit, and wrap
the adhesive flaps around the sides
of the digit.
Fold the cable end of the sensor over
the top of the digit. Wrap the adhesive
flaps around the sides of the digit.
Anchor the sensor cable with a piece of
medical-grade tape. Plug the connector
end of the sensor cable into the patient
cable attached to the monitor.
