Indications for Use
Follow local, state and national governing ordinances and recycling instructions regarding disposal or recycling of the
device and device components, including batteries. Use only Nonin-approved battery packs.
In compliance with the European Directive on Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment (WEEE) 2002/96/EC, do not
dispose of this product as unsorted municipal waste. This device contains WEEE materials; please contact your
distributor regarding take-back or recycling of the device. If you are unsure how to reach your distributor, please call
Nonin for your distributor’s contact information.
To prevent potential loss of monitoring or inaccurate data, remove any objects that might hinder pulse detection and
measurement (e.g., blood pressure cuffs).
If the entire memory is filled, portions of the oldest record will be overwritten when a new record begins.
This device is designed to determine the percentage of arterial oxygen saturation of functional hemoglobin. Factors that
may degrade pulse oximeter performance or affect the accuracy of the measurement include the following:
A functional tester cannot be used to assess the accuracy of a pulse oximeter monitor or sensor.
All parts and accessories connected to the serial port of this device must be certified according to at least IEC Standard
EN 60950, IEC 62368-1, or UL 1950 for data-processing equipment.
Operation of this device below the minimum amplitude of 0.3% modulation may cause inaccurate results.
The two-minute alarm silence is automatically engaged at startup.
Do not use the power supply if the integrity of the AC cord conductors or the outlet is in doubt.
Failure of a network data coupling (serial cable/connectors) will result in loss of data transfer.
Cautions (Continued)
- excessive ambient light
- excessive motion
- electrosurgical interference
- blood flow restrictors (arterial catheters, blood
pressure cuffs, infusion lines, etc.)
- moisture in the sensor
- improperly applied sensor
- incorrect sensor type
- poor pulse quality
- venous pulsations
- anemia or low hemoglobin concentrations
- cardiogreen and other intravascular dyes
- carboxyhemoglobin
- methemoglobin
- dysfunctional hemoglobin
- artificial nails or fingernail polish
- a sensor not at heart level
- residue (e.g., dried blood, dirt, grease, oil) in the light
path
