Setting Up the Oximeter

Operator’s Manual
2. Verify the oximeter is off and the AC Power/Battery Charging indicator is lit. On AC power
up, the battery fuel gauge shows empty. The oximeter operates on AC power while the
battery is charging. When the oximeter is fully charged, all four bars are lit on the
indicator.
3. Until the battery is recharged, the message, “UNIT WILL SHUT DOWN IF AC POWER IS
LOST” appears. Press the ALARM SILENCE key twice to remove the message from the
screen before the oximeter can be used for patient monitoring. The oximeter is now
operational.
Caution
Should a low battery alarm sound, connect the oximeter to an AC power source and then
clear the alarm by pressing the ALARM SILENCE key. If the oximeter is operated on an AC
power source with a depleted battery and AC power is subsequently lost, the oximeter will
shut down immediately.
When all of the following conditions are present for 15 minutes, the N-600x pulse
oximeter automatically shuts down.
•
The oximeter is running on battery power.
•
No keys have been pressed.
•
No pulse has been detected. If a patient is not connected to the OxiMax™ pulse oximetry
sensor or the sensor is disconnected from the oximeter, the oximeter cannot detect data.
•
No alarms are present, other than low battery or a non-correctable error.
Note:
Whenever the oximeter is connected to AC power source, the battery is being charged.
Nellcor recommends the oximeter remain connected to an AC power source when not in
use. This ensures full battery power when the oximeter is needed.
Connecting an OxiMax™ Pulse Oximetry Sensor
WARNING
Use only Nellcor-approved OxiMax pulse oximetry sensors and pulse oximetry cables
when connecting to the OxiMax sensor connector. Connecting any other cable or
sensor influences the accuracy of sensor data, which may lead to adverse results.
The bottom of the oximeter screen displays the OxiMax pulse oximetry sensor type
when connecting an OxiMax pulse oximetry sensor to the oximeter or when the
oximeter completes POST with an OxiMax pulse oximetry sensor attached.
Note:
Physiological conditions, medical procedures, or external agents that may interfere with the
oximeter’s ability to detect and display measurements include dysfunctional hemoglobin,
arterial dyes, low perfusion, dark pigment, and externally applied coloring agents, such as
nail polish, dye, or pigmented cream.
Note:
Sensor LED light emissions fall within Class 1 level, according to IEC 60825-1:2001.
