TELEMETRY TRANSMITTER (96281) OPERATIONS MANUAL 3-8
Electrodes, Leadwires, Sensors and Sensor Cables
Cautions:
• Visually inspect each leadwire for obvious damage and replace as needed.
• Use only patient cables and leadwires specified by Spacelabs Healthcare. Other cables
and leadwires may damage the monitor during defibrillation and may also change the
required input impedance and DC offset voltage, affecting performance.
• Do not use stainless steel electrodes.
• Do not allow conductive parts of electrode leads or connectors, including the neutral
electrode, to contact other conductive parts, including the ground.
• Use only patient sensors specified by Spacelabs Healthcare. If you use sensors other
than those specified, it may degrade SpO
2
performance and could damage the monitor
during defibrillation.
• Spacelabs Healthcare recommends the use of sensors repaired or remanufactured by
the original manufacturer only.
• Never attach an SpO
2
sensor to a limb being monitored with a blood pressure cuff or a
limb with restricted blood flow.
• A poorly applied sensor may give incorrect saturation values. The Sensorwatch
signal-strength indicator is used to identify a poorly applied sensor or a poorly chosen
site. Refer to
Using the Sensorwatch Feature on page 3-12 for additional information.
• Choose a site with sufficient perfusion to ensure accurate oximetry values.
• An adapter cable is required between the sensor and the transmitter. Do not discard the
adapter cable when you have finished using a disposable oximetry sensor. Disconnect
the sensor cable from the adapter cable before discarding the sensor.
Note:
For cleaning and disinfecting procedures, refer to the Cleaning, Disinfecting, and Sterilization
chapter of this manual.
Setting Up SpO

Monitoring
1 Connect the SpO
2
adapter cable to the patient-worn telemetry transmitter.
2 Attach the sensor to the patient and connect the sensor cable to the SpO
2
adapter cable.
3 Initiate ECG monitoring on the patient monitor.
4 Touch ECG.
5 Touch CHANNEL FORMAT.
6 Touch SpO
