1. Common Models of Edan SpO₂ Probes

Edan SpO₂ probes are typically designed for specific pulse oximeter models. Common types include:

• Disposable Probes: For single-use or short-term monitoring (e.g., neonates or ICU patients), preventing cross-contamination.

• Reusable Probes: Durable for long-term monitoring; require regular cleaning/disinfection.

• Finger Clip Probes: Universal for adults/children.

• Flexible/Wrap Probes: For neonates, infants, or special sites (e.g., earlobes, feet).

Compatible Devices:
Edan SpO₂ probes are primarily used with Edan pulse oximeters (e.g., H100, H10, H8 series). Verify probe-host compatibility before purchase.

2. Usage Guidelines

Proper Placement:

• Finger clip probes: Align light source and detector; avoid strong ambient light.

• Wrap probes: Ensure snug but non-constricting fit.

Patient-Specific Selection:

• Use size-specific probes for adults, children, and neonates.

Cleaning & Maintenance:

• Reusable probes: Wipe with alcohol swabs; avoid liquid ingress.

• Disposable probes: Never reuse.

Signal Interference:

• Factors affecting accuracy: motion artifacts, nail polish, dark skin pigmentation.

3. Troubleshooting

No Signal/Unstable Readings:

• Check probe connection integrity.

• Verify patient’s peripheral circulation (e.g., cold fingers may impair readings).

Probe Damage:

• Replace if cables are frayed or LEDs malfunction.

Error Codes:

• Consult the manual (e.g., "Sensor Off" may indicate unplugged probes).
