Positioning the InSpectra
The InSpectra StO Sensor is placed on the thenar eminence (the fleshy mass on the
2
palmar surface of the hand at the base of the thumb
the adhesive on the face of the sensor shield.
1. Clean and dry the base of the thumb on the palmar side
thumb on the back of the hand.
cautIoN: The InSpectra StO
only be used on intact tissue.
2. Position the InSpectra StO
face with the black circles
dotted line as shown in figure 17.1.

NotE: The window in the release liner of the InSpectra StO
Sensor enables the user to check the placement before adhering
the sensor to ensure that an adequate tissue hemoglobin index
(THI) signal is present. A THI greater than 5.0 indicates sufficient
hemoglobin to obtain an adequate signal in most circumstances.
3. While holding the sensor in place, grasp one of the white release liner tabs
and remove from the sensor shield.

4. Press and conform this side of the sensor shield to the patient.
5. Remove the other white release liner tab
part of the sensor shield to the patient.
6. The shield of the InSpectra StO
thumb on the palmar side and around the top of the thumb on the back of
the hand. See figure 17.3 for proper position on the patient's hand.
7. Secure the sensor cable to the patient's arm using an appropriate medical
adhesive tape.

NotE: The sensor can be used with any other available InSpectra StO
Oxygenation Monitor for continued patient monitoring. The sensor does not
require calibration.
O
WarNING:
• D isconnect and remove the InSpectra StO
magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scanning.
• P ossible skin irritation. Do not leave the InSpectra StO
72 hours. Replace with a new InSpectra StO
irritation. If skin irritation persists, stop monitoring on that site. Place a new sensor on
the thenar eminence of the contralateral hand.
cautIoN:
• E nsure the InSpectra StO
conditions that may result in the monitor not being able to take a measurement or inaccurate measurements.
• T he InSpectra StO

optical fibers that can affect the quality of X-ray and computerized tomographic images taken in area of this
cable. Position the sensor cable out of the imaging area during X-rays and computed tomography scanning.
• D o not encircle the wrist or hand with tape to secure the sensor because it may hinder blood flow to
the hand.
• T he InSpectra StO
