NOTE
If the sensor does not track the pulse reliably, it may be incorrectly
positioned – or the sensor site may be too thick, thin, or deeply pigmented,
or otherwise deeply colored (for example, as a result of externally applied
coloring such as nail polish, dye, or pigmented cream) to permit appropriate
light transmission. If any of these situations occurs, reposition the sensor or
choose an alternate Nellcor sensor to use on a different site.
