Reason

Incompatible components: The Finger Clip Sensors - with a Serial Number prefix of PA514, PA515, YE508, ZC502 and ZG512 - are missing an additional diode and higher resistor in its existing configuration making them inoperable when used to interface with those Ohmeda Tuffsat monitors previously re-configured by Ohmeda to include a detection circuit for diodes.
