• If high ambient light is affecting measurements, ensure that the
sensor is properly applied and then cover the application site
with an opaque material such as a blanket or towel. Failure to do
this may result in inaccurate measurements.
• Maintain a minimum signal level above the Sensorwatch bar.
If patient movement presents a problem, one or more of the
actions that follow may correct it:
• Verify that the sensor is properly and securely applied.
• Move the sensor to a less active site; to reduce or eliminate
motion artifact, the application site should remain as immobile as
possible.
• Use an adhesive sensor that tolerates some patient motion.
• Use a new sensor with fresh adhesive backing.
• A patient may be sensitive to the SpO
2
sensor LED heat. If the
sensor causes patient discomfort, move the sensor to a different
location.
