PHiliph MRI Adult Quick Connect Reusable SpO2 Finger Clip Pulse Oximetry 989803166531

1. General Introduction:

This Philiph 989803166531 finger pulse clip is an original equipment manufacturer (OEM) monitoring accessory designed specifically for MRI (Magnetic Resonance Imaging) examinations. Its core function is to collect patient blood oxygen saturation and pulse rate data in strong magnetic field environments. Made of medical-grade non-magnetic ABS plastic, it features a lightweight, semi-circular clip structure. A high-sensitivity optical sensor is located on the inner side, fitting snugly against the fingertip, while the outer layer is sealed to prevent interference. Suitable for the strong magnetic field environment of MRI examinations, it will not interfere with the imaging of the device and will also prevent the magnetic field from affecting the accessory itself or the monitoring data.

2. About the SpO2 Clips use

The Wireless SpO2 3.0 Modules, SpO2 Sensor, and SpO2 Clips/Grips are intended for combined use during MRI procedures when continuous noninvasive monitoring of peripheral oxygen saturation, pulse rate, or pulse triggering is required.

SpO2 clips are designed to keep sensor heads snug against the patient’s skin. These clips are reusable and suitable for multiple patients and repeated use. Always clean and disinfect them before initial use and between different patients.

To attach a clip or grip to the SpO2 sensor, simply snap the sensor tips into the matching connectors on the clip or grip until they lock into place.

3. Selecting the SpO2 Clip or Grip

When choosing an SpO2 clip or grip, prioritize how well it fits the patient’s appendage. Follow these guidelines:

• The clip or grip should fit snugly against the patient’s skin to block out ambient light, which can interfere with readings.

•Position the sensor tips on opposite sides of the appendage to ensure accurate signal detection.

• Avoid over-tightening the clip or grip, as this may restrict blood circulation and cause discomfort.

WARNINGs

• Do not attach the clip, grip, or sensor to an extremity with an arterial catheter, intravenous (IV) infusion line, or noninvasive blood pressure cuff. This can result in inaccurate measurement results.

• To minimize the risk of pressure injuries, never fasten the clip or grip so tightly that it impairs blood circulation. Regularly check the patient’s extremity for signs of restricted flow.

• After each use, wipe the surface of the finger clip and the sensor window with a dry, soft cloth dampened with 70% isopropanol or 70% ethanol, and allow it to air dry for at least 5 minutes before storing.Do not use corrosive materials for disinfection.

4. Placing the Clip

Follow these steps to place the SpO2 clip correctly:

1. First, inspect the module, sensor, and clip thoroughly—never use any accessory that is damaged.

2. If the patient has colored nail polish on the intended application site, remove it completely before proceeding.

3. Open the clip and slide it gently over the patient’s digit (finger or toe).

4. Ensure the digit is centered in the clip, the light source aligns with the nail bed, and the sensor tips are positioned on opposite sides of the digit.

5. Confirm the clip is securely fastened but not so tight that it compromises blood circulation.

6. Cover the clip to protect it from ambient light, which can disrupt accurate readings.

7. Verify that the perfusion index reads above 0.3 to ensure reliable monitoring.

5. Alarm Trigger

The issue may stem from the SpO2 clip/grip needing repositioning or replacement. Take the following actions:

• Check the clip/grip’s position on the patient to ensure it is properly seated.

•Try switching to a different limb or application site.

• Ensure the SpO2 module is kept outside the MRI bore.

• Reposition the SpO2 module to eliminate interference.

• Replace the clip or grip if repositioning does not resolve the issue.

6. SpO2 Monitoring Safety

• During SpO2 monitoring, regularly check the patient for signs of skin heating and ensure the clip/grip remains properly positioned.

• Keep the clip/grip covered to shield it from ambient light and maintain reading accuracy.

• Certain medications can increase sensitivity to the infrared LED light of the SpO2 sensor. For patients on photosensitive medications, routinely inspect their skin integrity while the sensor is in use to prevent potential injury.
