Patient Monitor Using SpO2
9-4
Using SpO
2
Before you start SpO
2
monitoring, refer to the following steps:
1 Estimate the patient’s weight and determine the best site for the sensor.
2 Use the Sensor Guide to select the correct type and size of sensor for the
identified location.
3 Prepare the sensor:
•Disposable: Remove protective backing.
•Semi-Disposable: Apply a new adhesive wrap to the sensor.
4 Apply the sensor to the identified location.
5 Connect the sensor to the monitor. To connect sensors from other manu-
facturers, use the HP M1900B Connector Cable.
Apply the Sensor to the Patient
Hewlett-Packard supports the use of many sensors. Use the Sensor Guide to
find the sensor which is best for your case. Follow the manufacturer’s
guidelines for applying and using the sensor.
Applying the Reusable Sensor
Push the sensor over the fingertip so the cable lies on the back of the hand.
Secure the cable to the wrist with the wrist-strap supplied. Make sure the
finger is not pinched in the end of the sensor. See Figure 9-2. This ensures
that the light sources in the sensor lie over the base of the fingernail, giving
the best measurement results. If the sensor is not in the correct position,
inaccurate readings result. In extreme cases, the instrument displays dashes
instead of an SpO
2
reading. When correctly positioned, the end of the
finger just touches the end of the sensor.
