9 Monitoring SpO2

Connecting SpO2 Cables

select a finger or toe with a diameter of between 7 and 8 mm (0.27” and 0.31”). When applying a M1193A neonatal sensor do not overtighten the strap.

4Check that the light emitter and the photodetector are directly opposite each other. All light from the emitter must pass through the patient’s tissue.

WARNING Loose Sensor: If a sensor is too loose, it might compromise the optical alignment or fall off. If it is too tight, for example because the application site is too large or becomes too large due to edema, excessive pressure may be applied. This can result in venous congestion distal from the application site, leading to interstitial edema, hypoxemia and tissue malnutrition. Skin irritations or lacerations may occur as a result of the sensor being attached to one location for too long. To avoid skin irritations and lacerations, periodically inspect the sensor application site and change the application site at least every four hours.

Venous Pulsation: Do not apply sensor too tightly as this results in venous pulsation which may severely obstruct circulation and lead to inaccurate measurements.

Ambient Temperature: Never apply an SpO2 sensor at ambient temperatures from above 37 oC because this can cause severe burns after prolonged application.

Extremities to Avoid: Avoid placing the sensor on extremities with an arterial catheter, or intravascular venous infusion line.

Connecting SpO2 Cables

♦Connect the sensor cable to the color-coded socket on the

measurement device (MMS or module). If you are using a

 

disposable sensor, plug the sensor into the adapter cable and connect

 

this to the measurement device. Connect reusable sensors directly to

SpO2

the measurement device.

 

CAUTION Extension cables: Do not use more than one extension cable (M1941A). Do not use an extension cable with Philips reusable sensors or adapter cables with part numbers ending in -L (indicates “long” cable version).

Electrical Interference: Position the sensor cable and connector away from power cables, to avoid electrical interference.

Humidity: For neonatal patients, make sure that all sensor connectors and adapter cable connectors are outside the incubator. The humid atmosphere inside can cause inaccurate measurements.

Measuring SpO2

1Select the correct patient category setting (adult/pediatric and neonatal), as this is used to optimize the calculation of the SpO2 and pulse numerics.

2During measurement, ensure that the application site:

–has a pulsatile flow, ideally with a perfusion indicator value above 1.0.
