Cardell MAX-12 HD - Veterinary Instrumentation

CARDELL® MAX-12HD User’s Manual9.2 SpO2 SensorWARNING: Use only Nellcor® veterinary oxygen transducers. Use of otheroxygen transducers may cause improper performance.INSTRUCTIONS FOR USENOTE: Reusable sensors may be used on the same site for a maximum of four(4) hours, provided the site is inspected routinely to ensure skin integrity andcorrect positioning. Because individual skin condition affects the ability ofthe skin to tolerate sensor placement, it may be necessary to change the sensorsite more frequently with some patients.1) Select a sensor and clip that is appropriate for the patient. There are two (2)sizes of VetSat veterinary sensor clips: model VSC-S (small), and modelVSC-L (large).2) Clean the VetSat sensor and clip separately before and after each use.3) Open the clip by pressing with the thumb and forefinger.4) Slide one of the sensor’s alignment buttons along the clip slot until thesensor pad is fully engaged in the clip.5) Slide the second sensor button along the other clip slot until the secondsensor pad is fully engaged in its side of the clip.NOTE: Check that the VetSat optical sensor pads are facing each other.6) The sensor is now ready to be applied to the patient. The preferred sensorapplication site for canine, feline and equine animals is on the tongue, with thesensor’s optical components positioned on the center of the tongue.Alternatively, the sensor and clip may be applied to the animal’s lip, toe, ear,prepuce, or vulva.NOTE: If the sensor does not track the pulse reliably, it may be incorrectlypositioned, or the sensor site may be too thick, thin, or deeply pigmented topermit appropriate light transmission. If any of these situations occur,reposition the sensor or try another sensor site. If the sensor site is covered withfur, try shaving the site and reapplying the sensor.M1.0 5-15-0967
