SpO
2
Setup and Use
To take accurate SpO
2
measurements using the Propaq MD unit, you must perform the
following steps, each of which corresponds to a section in this chapter.
1. Select the correct SpO
2
sensor.
2.
Apply the SpO
2
sensor to the patient.
3.
Connect the sensor to the Propaq MD unit.
4.
Configure SpO
2
alarms and settings (if the current SpO
2
alarms and settings are not
appropriate).
Pulse oximetry measurements begin as soon as the sensor is applied to the patient and
connected to the Propaq MD unit.
Selecting the SpO
2
Sensor
When selecting the SpO
2
sensor, consider the patient’s weight, the adequacy of perfusion, the
available sensor sites, and the anticipated duration of monitoring. For more information, refer
to the
Accessories
section of this chapter, which provides a list of ZOLL-approved reusable and
single-use SpO
2
sensors for adult, pediatric, and neonate patients. Before applying the sensor,
always familiarize yourself with the
Directions for Use
that the manufacturer provides with the
sensor.
Applying the SpO
2
Sensor
Choose a site that is well perfused and restricts a conscious patient's movements the least. The
ring finger or middle finger of the nondominant hand is preferred.
Alternatively, you can use the other digits on the nondominant hand. Be sure the sensor's
detector is fully covered by flesh. You can use the great toe or long toe (next to the great toe) on
restrained patients or patients whose hands are unavailable.
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.
Do not select an SpO
2
sensor site on the same arm/leg as an NIBP cuff. Inflation of the cuff will
cause the SpO
2
values to read incorrectly.
