Sensor Application Using an Ear Clip - Medical / Health Care
According to the procedure described point by point below, the Ear Clip is first attached to the earlobe, then one small drop of contact liquid is applied to the sensor surface, and, finally, the sensor is snapped into the Ear Clip attached to the earlobe. Altematively, you may click the sensor into the clip`s retainer ring first, apply one small drop of contact liquid to the center of the sensor, pull off both liners protecting the clip`s adhesive tapes, and then apply the sensor/clip assembly to the earlobe. In this case, ensure to keep the clips jaws open and to hold the sensor/clip assembly such that the contact liquid does not run off the sensor face until the sensor/clip assembly is applied to the earlobe.
