Inserting the Finger Externally applied colouring agents, such as nail polish may interfere with the monitor’s ability to detect and display accurate measurements!
To obtain an accurate reading it is essential that the finger oximeter is placed correctly on the patient’s finger.
The light that is emitted by the finger oximeter has to transmit from the upside of the finger oximeter through the patient’s finger nail. •
Turn the patient’s hand so that you can see the finger nail.
•
Nip one end of the finger oximeter to open
•
Insert the patient’s finger, nail facing the top of the finger oximeter, so that the finger is placed fully on the silicone pad.
•
Release the nipped end of the finger oximeter to secure it on to the patient’s finger.
Commencing Monitoring Once the finger oximeter is switched on and the patient’s finger is inserted correctly, monitoring will begin automatically.
