Applying a Reusable DCI Sensor
Note: These instructions describe how to apply a reusable DCI sensor. For all other reusable
sensors, refer to the sensor packaging for application instructions.
Note: The reusable sensor is not intended for use on the thumb or across a child’s hand or
foot.
Select a monitoring site (see previous section), then apply the reusable DCI sensor as follows:
1. Place the selected digit over the sensor window, making sure that the sensor cable runs over
the top of the patient’s hand.
The fleshiest part of the digit must cover the photodetector window in the lower half of the
DCI sensor.
2. On finger sites, make sure the tip of the finger touches the raised digit stop inside the sensor.
If the fingernail is long, it may extend over and past the finger stop.
Note: With smaller digits, the digit may not need to be pushed all the way to the stop to
completely cover the detector window.
3. Check the sensor position to ensure that the top and bottom halves of the DCI sensor are
parallel. To ensure accurate data, you must have complete coverage of the detector window
(see previous figure).
4. Lift the clear plastic protective cover from the female end of the patient cable, then plug the
sensor cable’s male connector all the way into the patient cable connector.
