Clamp Oximeter Probe Adult Contec Compatible

This Clipped Adult Oximeter Probe is specifically designed for Contec CMS70A devices, providing reliable measurement of blood oxygen saturation (SpO2) and pulse rate for monitoring sleep apnea and respiratory disorders. It is an indispensable accessory for tracking critical patient data overnight, evaluating treatment effectiveness, and supporting clinical decisions.

Features and Benefits

• High Accuracy and Reliability: Working in full integration with Contec CMS70A oximeters, it provides precise SpO2 and pulse rate data even during sleep. This is critically important for the accurate detection of desaturation episodes, especially in patients with obstructive sleep apnea syndrome (OSAS).
• Comfortable and Ergonomic Design: Thanks to its clipped design, it easily attaches to adult fingers and ensures comfortable use throughout sleep. This design minimizes the risk of the probe dislodging.
• Durable OEM Quality: Manufactured to OEM standards, this probe is designed for long-lasting use. It is durable for regular use in both clinical settings and at home.
• Treatment Efficacy Monitoring: It allows for objective monitoring of treatment responses and oxygenation status in patients undergoing CPAP/BiPAP therapy. This helps in adjusting treatment parameters if necessary.

Compatible Devices/Masks

This Clipped Adult Oximeter Probe is designed to be fully compatible only with the following model:

• Contec CMS70A Pulse Oximeter

It is not compatible with oximeter devices of other brands or models.

Usage Recommendations

• Before using the probe, ensure your finger is clean and dry. Nail polish or artificial nails may affect measurement accuracy.
• Gently place the probe on the tip of your finger, with the sensors facing each other. Be careful not to make it too tight or too loose.
• For the most accurate results, keep your finger and hand as still as possible during measurement.
• Avoid bending or stretching the probe's cable. Regularly check the cable and clip mechanism for any signs of wear or damage.
• For disinfection, use alcohol-based wipes or disinfectants according to the manufacturer's instructions. Avoid abrasive cleaners.
• Oximeter probes should generally be replaced within 1 to 2 years, or when there is visible wear or a decrease in performance, depending on usage frequency and maintenance.

Field Tip

Based on my more than 20 years of experience, I must emphasize that correctly attaching the oximeter probe to the finger and keeping it still is critically important for accurate measurement. Especially during sleep, involuntary patient movements can cause the probe to slip, leading to falsely low SpO2 values. To prevent this, securing the probe's cable to the bedside or keeping the patient's hand in an appropriate position would be beneficial. Additionally, nail polish and cold hands can also negatively affect measurement accuracy.

Frequently Asked Questions

Which devices is this oximeter probe compatible with?

This Clipped Adult Oximeter Probe is designed to be fully compatible only with Contec CMS70A model pulse oximeters.

What is the lifespan of the probe?

Depending on usage frequency and maintenance, oximeter probes should generally be replaced within 1 to 2 years, or when there is visible wear and a decrease in performance.

Why might the oxygen probe not provide accurate measurements?

Reasons for inaccurate measurements may include incorrect probe placement on the finger, excessive movement, nail polish, cold hands, poor peripheral circulation, or damage to the probe itself.

What is the difference between a clipped probe and other types?

Clipped probes are designs that can be easily attached to and removed from the finger, generally providing a more stable grip. Other types may include wrap-around or adhesive probes primarily designed for neonatal and pediatric use.

How should this probe be cleaned?

The surface of the probe can be cleaned by wiping it with an alcohol-based disinfectant wipe. Avoid immersing the device in water or using abrasive chemicals. Ensure it is completely dry after cleaning.

Why is an oxygen probe important in sleep apnea treatment?

In sleep apnea treatment, an oxygen probe helps evaluate treatment effectiveness by continuously monitoring the patient's blood oxygen levels and pulse rate throughout the night. The frequency and severity of oxygen desaturations provide important clinical data for adjusting treatment parameters.
