  Applying the OxiMax
®
 MAX-I sensor 
 
This Nellcor
®
 adhesive sensor, model MAX-I, is indicated for continuous 
noninvasive arterial oxygen saturation and pulse rate monitoring and can be 
reused on the same patient as long as the adhesive tape attaches without 
slippage. 
 
1.  Remove the plastic backing from the MAX-I and locate the two transparent 
windows on the adhesive side. Windows cover optical components. Note 
the corresponding alignment marks (a) on the non-adhesive side and the 
dashed line (b) midway between the marks (Figure (1)). 
The big toe is the preferred MAX-I location. Alternatively, apply the sensor 
to another digit of similar size, for example, the thumb. 
NOTE 
When selecting the sensor site, priority should be given to an extremity free 
of an arterial catheter, blood pressure cuff, or intravascular infusion line. 
2.  Orient the MAX-I so that the window next to the cable is aligned on the 
bottom of the big toe as shown. The cable should extend towards the heel 
(Figure (2)). 
3.  Wrap the MAX-I firmly, but not too tightly around the toe. Windows must 
oppose each other for correct measurement (Figure (3)). 
4.  Wrap any excess tape loosely around the toe. Use additional tape 
provided to secure the cable across the bottom of the foot, loosely enough 
to maintain good circulation (Figure (4)). 
5.  Connect the MAX-I into the LX-7230N. Verify proper operation as 
described in the operation manual.

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.
