GE Ohmeda disposable SPO2 probes

PRODUCT INTRODUCTION

To connect disposable SPO2 probes to a monitor, follow these steps:

Ensure that the monitor is turned off before connecting the SPO2 probe.

Locate the SPO2 port on the front or side of the monitor. It is usually labeled "SPO2" or "SpO2".

Remove the protective cap from the SPO2 port.

Take the disposable SPO2 probe and identify the connector end. It should have a shape that matches the SPO2 port on the monitor.

Align the connector of the disposable SPO2 probe with the SPO2 port on the monitor and gently insert it. Make sure it is properly aligned and inserted securely to ensure reliable readings.

Once connected, ensure that the connection is secure by giving it a gentle tug to check for any looseness.

Turn on the monitor and wait for it to initialize. The display should show the SPO2 reading if the probe is connected correctly.

Place the probe on the patient's finger, earlobe, or another appropriate site according to the instructions for the specific type of SPO2 probe being used.

Position the probe securely and ensure that it is properly secured to prevent any movement or dislodgement.

Observe the monitor to ensure that it is displaying a stable and accurate SPO2 reading. If there are any issues or errors, check the connection and positioning of the probe.

Dispose of the SPO2 probe according to the appropriate waste disposal guidelines.

Note: The specific steps for connecting disposable SPO2 probes may vary depending on the brand and model of the monitor and probe being used. Always refer to the manufacturer's instructions for the specific equipment to ensure proper and safe usage.
