DS-100A Durasensor
Adult Oxygen Sensor
Rx ONLY
Directions for Use
Indications/Contraindications
The Nellcor® Durasensor® adult oxygen sensor, model DS-100A, is indicated for use when
continuous noninvasive arterial oxygen saturation and pulse rate monitoring are required for
patients weighing greater than 40 kg.
The DS-100A is contraindicated for use on active patients or for prolonged use. It is not designed
for long-term monitoring. It must be moved every 4 hours (or more often, if indicated by
circulatory status and/or skin integrity) and reapplied to a different site. If long-term monitoring is
required, use an O
XI
(D-25, D-25L, or N-25), depending on patient age and size, and instrument compatibility.
Instructions for Use
Use this sensor only with Nellcor instruments and instruments containing Nellcor oximetry,
or with instruments licensed to use Nellcor sensors (Nellcor-compatible instruments). This
sensor integrates Nellcor O
enabled instrument, this sensor uses O
performance features. Consult individual manufacturers for features and compatibility of
particular instruments and sensor models.
Reusable sensors may be used on the same site for a maximum of 4 hours, provided the site
is inspected routinely to ensure skin integrity and correct positioning. Because individual skin
condition affects the ability of the skin to tolerate sensor placement, it may be necessary to
change the sensor site more frequently with some patients.
To apply the DS-100A:
1. Place an index finger over the sensor window of the DS-100A with the finger tip against the
stop. (1)
2. If the fingernail is long, the nail tip will extend over the finger stop. (2)
