The CRIT-LINE III System
1-11
_______________________
1.9 Sensor Clip
The CLM III’s sensor clip is comprised of an electronic light emitter/detector unit
housed in a precision-molded clip. The sensor detects the absorption and scattering
properties of light transmitted through the whole blood as it flows through the CRIT-
LINE Blood Chamber. The sensor clip locks into place around the blood chamber.
Incorrect placement will most likely result in incorrect measurements. (See Section
2 for more information).
Whenever the CLM III is not being used, the sensor clip should be placed on the
verification filter on the side of the monitor. This provides protection from damage
and keeps the sensor elements clean. (See section 8 for cleaning instructions). Never
remove the clip from the verification filter by pulling on the sensor cable.
