Applying a Reusable SpO
2
Sensor
The following instructions describe how to apply a reusable Nellcor DS-100A SpO
2
sensor. For
all other reusable sensors, refer to the sensor packaging and the manufacturer’s
Directions for Use for instructions on how to apply the sensor.
Note: A reusable sensor is not intended for use on the thumb or across a child’s hand or foot.
After selecting a monitoring site, apply the reusable DS-100A 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.
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.
3. Check the sensor position to ensure that the top and bottom halves of the sensor are parallel.
To ensure accurate data, you must have complete coverage of the detector window (see
previous figure).
Note: With smaller digits, the digit may not need to be pushed all the way to the stop to
completely cover the detector window.
