NOTE
z Place the SpO2 sensor cable at the backside of the patient hand. Make sure the
fingernail is just opposite to the light emitted from the sensor.
Neonate Sensor Placement
Neonate SpO
2
sensor consists of a Y-shape SpO
2
sensor and its sheath. Insert the LED and PD
ends of the Y-shape SpO
2
sensor respectively into the upper and lower grooves on the sheath
(
Figure 11-3). The Figure 11-4 shows us the neonate SpO
2
sensor after insertion.

Figure 11-4 Neonate Sensor Placement (2)
Wind the SpO
2
sensor around a hand or foot of a neonate patient. Hold the sensor, pull the belt
and fit one of its sides with “V” edge into the “V” groove on the corresponding side of the sheath.
Appropriately elongate the belt to about 20mm, and fit the “V” edge of the other side of the belt
into the “V” groove of the other side of the sheath. Then, loosen the belt. After the “V” edges of
the two sides of the belt fit well into the “V” grooves on the two sides of the sheath, put the belt
into the first lock bar to fasten the belt. See
Figure 11-5. If the belt is too long, you may put it into
the second lock bar. You must position the SpO
2
sensor in this way so as to make the
photoelectric component face the correct position. Besides, note not to elongate the belt too much,
which may lead to inaccurate measurement and block the blood circulation severely.
