Pulse Oximetry, SpO
The Tango+ is equipped with an option for pulse oximetry (P/N 98-0087-00). This
option allows you to measure the oxygen saturation of arterial blood. Simply plug
in the sensor/module cable to the SpO
and attach the sensor to your patient as described below. After a few seconds,
a measurement will be displayed on the main measurement screen. The SpO
value is updated once per second. SpO
Go to Main menu ► View ► Graph Display and choose SpO
precautions that apply to pulse oximetry. You can replace the sensor by unplugging it
from the module and plugging in the new sensor.
CAUTION: Patient sensitivity may vary due to medical status or skin
condition. Discontinue use of adhesive tape strips if the patient exhibits an
allergic reaction to the adhesive materials.
Preparing the Patient for Pulse Oximetry - Finger Application
CAUTION: Some nail polish colors (particularly dark shades) or artificial
nails may reduce light transmission and affect pulse oximetry accuracy.
Remove any nail polish or artificial nails before using the sensors.
To Attach the Adult Articulated Finger Clip Sensor:
1. Insert a finger (preferably the index, middle or ring finger) into the Adult
Articulated Finger Clip Sensor (Figure 13) until the end of the finger reaches the
finger stop. Keep the fingernail facing the sensor top. Ensure that long fingernails
are not interfering with proper finger position.
2. For the best results when using the sensor for data collection, secure the sensor
cable independently from the sensor with medical tape, preferably around the
base of the fingers. Make sure that the tape securing the cable does not restrict
the blood flow. The thumb is not recommended for use with the Adult Articulated
Finger Clip Sensor.
Note: If the sensor is not positioned properly, light may by pass the tissue
and result in pulse oximetry inaccuracies. Proper sensor placement is critical
for good performance.
