Measuring SpO2 Pulse Oximetry (SpO2)
15 - 8 V Series Operating Instructions
15.3.2 Nellcor
®
SpO
2
CAUTION: When equipped with Nellcor® SpO2, use only Nellcor oxygen
transducers including Nellcor Oxisensor® and OxiMax® patient
dedicated adhesive sensors. Use of other oxygen transducers may
cause improper oximeter performance.
Nellcor Sensors
Nellcor provides a family of sensors suitable for a wide variety of clinical settings and patients.
Specific sensors have been developed for neonates, infants, children, and adults. Durasensor
®
and/
OxiMax
®
oxygen transducers are sterile adhesive sensors with optical components mounted on
adhesive tape. Oxiband
®
oxygen transducers and the Duraform
®
oxygen transducer system are
reusable sensors that are applied with disposable adhesive. The Durasensor DS-100A Adult Digit
Oxygen Transducer is a reusable sensor with its optical components mounted in a plastic casing. The
Nellcor RS-10 and Max-Fast
®
oxygen transducers are adhesive sensors for application on the forehead
or temples.
Packaging of sterile sensors ensure sterile conditions until opened or damaged or until expiration
date is reached.
NOTE: Consideration should be given to the disposal of packaging waste.
To order all Nellcor accessories and sensors call 1-888-744-1414.
Selecting a Nellcor Sensor
Sensors are designed for specific sites on patients with designated weight ranges. To select the
appropriate sensor, consider the patient’s weight, level of activity, adequacy of perfusion, which
sensor sites are available, whether sterility is required, and the anticipated duration of monitoring.
15.3.3 Masimo SpO
2
V 12/V 21 monitors equipped with Masimo SET SpO
2
allow the user to adjust sensitivity and SpO
2
avg time. Choose the sensitivity mode depending upon signal quality and patient motion. In most
cases, the normal setting is appropriate. If patient motion is limited, use the high sensitivity mode.
Choose the average time based on the a number of seconds.
NOTE: Refer to TABLE 15-1 on page 15-4.
CAUTION: When equipped with Masimo SET® SpO2, use only Masimo SET Oxygen
Transducers including Masimo SET LNOP® and LNCS® Patient
Dedicated Adhesive Sensors and Masimo SET PC Series Patient Cables.
Use of other oxygen transducers may cause improper oximeter
performance.
Masimo SET Sensors
Masimo SET provides a family of sensors suitable for a wide variety of clinical settings and patients.
Specific sensors have been developed for neonates, infants, children, and adults. All sensors are
indicated for continuous non-invasive monitoring of arterial oxygen saturation (SpO
2
) and pulse rate,
all sensors are non-sterile and usable during patient movement.
The Adult Reusable Finger Sensors can also be used for spot check applications if needed. All sensors
are intended for single-patient use only unless indicated as “reusable.”
