Note: Failure to take this precaution in high ambient light
conditions may result in inaccurate measurements.
If patient movement presents a problem, try one or more of the
following remedies to correct the problem.
• verify that the sensor is properly and securely applied
• move the sensor to a less active site
• use an adhesive sensor that tolerates some patient motion
• use a new sensor with fresh adhesive backing
If poor perfusion affects performance, consider using the
Oxisensor R-15 sensor; it obtains measurements from the nasal
septal anterior ethmoid artery, an artery supplied by the internal
carotid. This sensor may obtain measurements when peripheral
perfusion is relatively poor.
For low peripheral perfusion, consider using the Nellcor RS-10
sensor, which is applied to the forehead or temple. These are
sites that may be spared during peripheral vasoconstriction.
Note: The preceding section pertains to patient and
environmental conditions that can be addressed by sensor
selection and application. For information regarding the
impact of other patient environmental conditions on
oximeter performance, see "Performance Considerations"
in the Start-Up and Use section of this manual.
