Frequently Asked Questions
All materials in contact with the patient’s skin are tested for biocompatibility. They are hypoallergenic and contain no substances that may cause skin irritation or allergic reactions.
We ensured that the cable is soft and flexible, allowing for easy placement without compromising patient comfort during prolonged use.
Our disposable SpO2 sensors are constructed with water-resistant materials, allowing them to withstand exposure to moderate levels of moisture, such as sweat or accidental spills. However, it is important to note that these sensors are not waterproof and should not be submerged in liquids or exposed to excessive moisture.
At least every 4 hours the oximeter probe moved to new site.as the local skin condition affects the ability of the skin to withstand the placement of the probe, it is necessary to frequently change the position of the sensor according to the condition of some patients. If the integrity of the skin changes, the need to move the probe to another site.
The cleaning and disinfection process for our reusable SpO2 sensors is straightforward and user-friendly:
Cleaning: The sensor can be easily wiped clean with approved disinfecting wipes or soft cloths dampened with a mild detergent solution. The smooth surfaces and lack of crevices prevent the accumulation of dirt and debris, facilitating thorough cleaning.
Disinfection: After cleaning, the sensor can be disinfected using hospital-grade disinfectants compatible with the sensor materials. We provide a list of recommended disinfectants and their approved concentrations in our user manual.
Drying: Once disinfected, the sensor should be air-dried completely before reuse. The sensor’s design allows for efficient drying, minimizing the risk of moisture entrapment.
Many of our electrodes are designed for multiple uses. They can be cleaned according to the cleaning protocol provided with your product. Typically, this involves wiping them with a soft cloth and a recommended disinfectant, ensuring they are completely dry before storage or reuse.
Wet electrodes provide high-quality signals and are ideal for clinical and research settings where signal clarity is paramount. Dry electrodes offer convenience and are quicker to set up, suitable for mobile monitoring and user-friendly applications. Active electrodes incorporate amplification to boost signal quality and are best for environments with substantial electrical noise. Choose based on the context of use, needed signal quality, and convenience.
If you are experiencing discomfort or allergic reactions, we suggest trying our range of hypoallergenic electrodes. It’s also essential to follow the instructions for use to avoid applying electrodes too tightly. Conduct patch tests with gels and adhesives if you have a history of skin sensitivities.
For better adhesion, ensure the scalp area is clean and dry before application. For wet electrodes, applying the right amount of conductive gel can aid in adhesion. We also provide adhesives and additional securing mechanisms, such as head caps or bands, which can help keep electrodes in place.
