features . Consult individual manufacturers for features and patibility of particular instruments and sensor models. Reusable sensors may be used on the same site for a maximum of 4 hours, provided the site is inspected routinely to ensure skin integrity and correct positioning. Because individual skin condition affects the ability of the skin to tolerate sensor placement, it may be necessary to change the sensor site more frequently with some patients. To apply the DS-100A: 1. Place an index finger over the sensor window of the DS-100A with the finger tip against the stop. (1) 2. If the fingernail is long, the nail tip will extend over the finger stop. (2) 3. Spread open the rear tabs of the sensor to provide even force over the length of the pads. Check the position of the sensor. If an index finger cannot be positioned correctly, or is not available, a smaller finger can be used, or use an OXIMAX or an Oxisensor II oxygen sensor. Do not use the DS-100A on a thumb or toe or across a child’s hand or foot. (3) Note: When selecting a sensor site, priority should be given to an extremity free of an arterial catheter, blood pressure cuff, or intravascular infusion line. 4. The sensor should be oriented in such a way that the cable is positioned along the top of the hand. (4) 5. Plug the DS-100A into the oximeter and verify proper operation as described in the oximeter operator’s manual. Note: If the sensor does not track the pulse reliably, it may be incorrectly...
