NOTE
If the sensor does not track the pulse reliably, it may be incorrectly
positioned - or the sensor site may be excessively wrinkled, or too deeply
pigmented or otherwise deeply colored (for example, as a result of
externally applied coloring such as dye or pigmented cream) to permit
appropriate light transmission. If any of these situations occurs, reposition
the sensor in a different location or choose an alternate Nellcor sensor to
use on a different site.
Reapplication
1. The MAX-A can be reused on the same patient as long as the adhesive
tape attaches without slippage.
2. Enclosed adhesive “dots” are provided for reapplication. Place the
transparent dot over each window as shown, and then remove the
protective paper that covers each dot (Figure (4)). The sensor is now
ready to be reapplied to the same patient. For the reapplication, do not
remove the previous adhesive dot, but place the enclosed adhesive dot
over it.
