• To prevent interference from ambient light, ensure that the sensor is properly applied, and cover the sensor site
with opaque material, if required. Failure to take this precaution in high ambient light conditions may result in
inaccurate measurements.
• High levels of COHb or MetHb may occur with a seemingly normal SpO
suspected, laboratory analysis (CO-Oximetry) of a blood sample should be performed.
• Elevated levels of Carboxyhemoglobin (COHb) may lead to inaccurate SpO
• Elevated levels of Methemoglobin (MetHb) will lead to inaccurate SpO
• Elevated Total Bilirubin levels may lead to inaccurate SpO
• Abnormal fingers, Intravascular dyes such as indocyanine green or methylene blue or externally applied coloring and
texture such as nail polish, acrylic nails, glitter, etc. may lead to inaccurate SpO
• Inaccurate SpO
readings may be caused by severe anemia, low arterial perfusion or motion artifact.

• To prevent damage, do not soak or immerse the sensor in any liquid solution.
• Do not modify or alter the sensor in any way. Alteration or modification may affect performace and/or accuracy.
• Do not attempt to reuse on multiple patients, reprocess, recondition or recycle Masimo sensors or patient cables as these
processes may damage the electrical components, potentially leading to patient harm.
• High oxygen concentrations may predispose a premature infant to retinopathy. Therefore, the upper alarm limit for the
oxygen saturation must be carefully selected in accordance with accepted clinical standards.
• Caution: Replace the sensor when a replace sensor message is displayed, or when a low SIQ message is consistently
displayed after completing the low SIQ troubleshooting steps identified in the monitoring device operator's manual.
• Note: The sensor is provided with X-Cal® technology to minimize the risk of inaccurate readings and unanticipated loss of
patient monitoring. After single-patient use, discard sensor.
INSTRUCTIONS
A) Site Selection
• Always choose a site that is well perfused and will completely cover the sensor's detector window.
• Site should be cleaned of debris and dry prior to sensor placement.
RD SET Adt: Adult Sensor
> 30 kg The preferred site is the middle or ring finger of non-dominant hand.
RD SET Pdt: Pediatric Sensor
10–50 kg The preferred site is middle or ring finger of non-dominant hand.
RD SET Inf: Infant Sensor
3–10 kg The preferred site is the great toe. Alternatively, the toe next to the great toe, or the thumb can be used.
10–20 kg The preferred site is the middle or ring finger of the non-dominant hand.
RD SET Neo: Neonatal/Adult Sensor
< 3 kg
The preferred site is the foot. Alternatively, across the palm and back of the hand can be used.
> 40 kg The preferred site is the middle or ring finger of non-dominant hand.
RD SET NeoPt/NeoPt-500: Preterm Sensors
< 1 kg
The preferred site is the foot. Alternatively, across the palm and back of the hand can be used.
B) Attaching the sensor to the patient
1. Open the pouch and remove the sensor. Remove the backing from the sensor, if present.
Adt sensor for ADULTS (> 30 kg) and Pdt sensor for PEDIATRICS (10–50 kg)
2. Refer to Fig. 1a. Orient the sensor so that the detector can be placed first. Place the tip of the finger on the dashed line with
the fleshy part of the finger covering the finger outline and detector window.
3. Refer to Fig. 1b. Press the adhesive wings, one at a time, onto the finger. Complete coverage of the detector window is
needed to ensure accurate data.
4. Refer to Fig. 1c. Fold the sensor over the finger with the emitter window ( ) positioned over the fingernail. Secure the
wings down, one at a time, around the finger.
5. Refer to Fig. 1d. When properly applied, the emitter and detector should be vertically aligned (the black lines should align).
Reposition if necessary.
