2.14.5 Instructions for Adult Patient Sensor
WARNING
The oximetry sensor used in the manual is only one of the different types of sensors which can be used with Spirodoc listed
in paragraph 2.2.4. MIR does not recommend any one particular sensor, the decision is left to the doctor who will choose the
sensor which she/he believes to be more suitable.
To perform a non-invasive continuous monitoring of arterial oxygen saturation it is recommended to use the reusable "soft" type sensor.
WARNING
The materials used for manufacturing the sensor are NATURAL LATEX PROTEIN FREE, and are subject to
biocompatibility tests.
• Choose an application site on the patient's finger or toe where the light source will be
directly over and in-line with the detector. The preferred sites are the forefinger or smaller
thumb.
• Remove nail polish or artificial fingernails.
• Insert the patient's digit in the sensor nail-side up, lining up the digit's pad over the detector.
The sensor's positioning line runs across the mid axis of the fingertip
• Fold the sensor's top over the digit, making sure the light source is directly over and in-line
with the detector. Route the cable along the palm or the bottom of the foot, and secure
with adhesive tape if necessary.
• Connect the sensor to the device: insert the connector with the arrow on the connector face-up and check the proper
functioning of the sensor according to the previous instructions.
WARNING
Do not twist the cable or use excessive force when using, connecting, disconnecting, or storing the sensor.
To reduce chances of entanglement it is recommended to fasten the cable to the wrist with a bandage.
