GIMA Neonatal SpO2 Sensor Instruction Manual

Pwodwi souview

The GIMA reusable neonatal SpO2 sensor (Model 35107) is designed for continuous, non-invasive monitoring of arterial oxygen saturation (SpO2) and pulse rate in neonates weighing between 3 and 10 kg. This sensor is intended for use with compatible GIMA oximeters and requires specific adapter cables for proper functionality.

Deskripsyon imaj: This image displays the GIMA reusable neonatal SpO2 sensor. It consists of a light grey, flexible sensor probe designed for neonatal application and an attached cable terminating in a multi-pin connector. The connector is also light grey and rectangular, featuring gold-colored pins for electrical connection to a compatible oximeter or adapter cable.

Enstalasyon ak Koneksyon

Before use, ensure you have the correct adapter cable for your specific GIMA oximeter device. The sensor itself is reusable and designed for long-term use, provided it is maintained correctly.

Kondisyon pou kab:

• For use with device code 35100, you will need cable code 35108.
• For use with device code 32902, you will need cable code 32917.
• Ensure the connector on the sensor aligns correctly with the adapter cable or device port before gently pushing it in. Do not force the connection.

Once the sensor is securely connected to the appropriate cable and device, it is ready for application to the patient.

Enstriksyon Operasyon

The GIMA neonatal SpO2 sensor is applied to a suitable site on the neonate, typically the foot or hand, ensuring proper blood flow to the site. Follow the specific instructions provided with your GIMA oximeter for sensor placement and operation.

1. Preparasyon sit: Ensure the application site is clean, dry, and free from excessive hair or nail polish.
2. Plasman Capteur: Gently place the sensor on the neonate's foot or hand, ensuring the light emitter and detector are directly opposite each other and aligned with the capillary bed. Avoid placing the sensor over bony prominences.
3. Aplikasyon an sekirite: Use the provided adhesive or wrap to secure the sensor without overtightening, which could impede circulation.
4. Koneksyon pou kontwole: Connect the sensor's cable to the oximeter or its adapter cable.
5. Initiate Monitoring: Turn on the oximeter and verify that SpO2 and pulse rate readings are displayed. Observe for stable waveforms and readings.
6. Tèks regilye: Periodically check the sensor site for skin integrity and proper circulation. Reposition the sensor if necessary.

Refer to your oximeter's user manual for detailed instructions on interpreting readings and alarm settings.

Antretyen ak Swen

Proper maintenance extends the life of your reusable SpO2 sensor and ensures accurate readings. Always follow hospital or clinic protocols for cleaning and disinfection of medical devices.

• Netwayaj: After each use, clean the sensor with a soft cloth dampened with a mild disinfectant solution. Do not immerse the sensor in liquid.
• Siye: Allow the sensor to air dry completely before storage or next use.
• Enspeksyon: Regularly inspect the sensor and cable for any signs of damage, such as cracks, fraying, or exposed wires. Do not use a damaged sensor.
• Depo: Store the sensor in a clean, dry place at room temperature, away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures. Avoid kinking or bending the cable excessively.

Depanaj

If you encounter issues with the SpO2 sensor, consider the following common troubleshooting steps:

• Pa gen lekti oswa lekti iregilye:
  • Check sensor placement: Ensure it is correctly positioned on the neonate's digit or foot, and there is no excessive movement.
  • Verify cable connection: Ensure the sensor is securely connected to the adapter cable and the oximeter.
  • Confirm cable compatibility: As noted in the setup section, specific cables are required for certain GIMA devices (e.g., 35108 for 35100, 32917 for 32902). Using an incompatible cable will result in no readings.
  • Assess perfusion: Ensure adequate blood flow to the sensor site. Cold extremities or vasoconstriction can affect readings.
  • Inspect sensor: Check for visible damage to the sensor or cable.
• "Sensor Off" or "Probe Disconnected" Message:
  • Re-attach the sensor to the patient.
  • Check the connection between the sensor and the oximeter/adapter cable.
• Lekti ki pa kòrèk:
  • Ensure the sensor is clean and free from debris.
  • Avoid strong ambient light sources directly on the sensor.
  • Check for excessive patient movement.

If problems persist after following these steps, consult your GIMA oximeter's user manual or contact GIMA technical support.
