Indications for Use
Cautions
Before use, carefully read the Instructions for Use provided with the sensors.
When mounting the monitor to a mobile pole, mounting the monitor higher than 1.5 meters (5 feet) or mounting
more than 2 kilograms (4.5 pounds) of equipment onto the pole may result in tipping, damage to the equipment,
or injury.
This device is not an apnea monitor.
Verify that all visible indicators illuminate during the startup (initialization) sequence. If any indicator is not lit, do
not use the device. Contact Nonin Technical Service for assistance.
The presence of a defibrillator may interfere with the performance of this device.
This device may not work on all patients. If you are unable to achieve stable readings, discontinue use.
This device has motion tolerant software that minimizes the likelihood of motion artifact being misinterpreted as
good pulse quality. In some circumstances, however, the device may still interpret motion as good pulse quality.
Minimize patient motion as much as possible.
Ear Clip and Reflectance sensors are not recommended for pediatric or neonatal use. The accuracy of these
sensors has not been established for pediatric or neonatal use.
Do not autoclave or immerse the device or sensors in liquid. Do not expose the device or components to
excessive moisture or liquids.
Do not use caustic or abrasive cleaning agents on the device or the sensors.
The oximeter sensor might not work on cold extremities due to reduced circulation. Warm or rub the finger to
increase circulation, or reposition the sensor.
The device is not designed to retain data in memory once the batteries are removed. Memory will clear 3 minutes
after removing the batteries. Replacing the batteries before 3 minutes have elapsed most likely will result in
corrupt data. Always replace the batteries with fully charged batteries. Do not use fully charged and partially
charged batteries at the same time as this may cause the batteries to leak.
Use only Nonin-specified battery types with this device.
Do not remove any covers other than the battery cover when replacing batteries. There are no user-serviceable
parts inside other than the replaceable batteries.
Follow local, state and national governing ordinances and recycling instructions regarding disposal or recycling
of the device and device components, including batteries.
Batteries may leak or explode if used or disposed of improperly.
Remove the batteries if the device will be stored for more than 1 month.
This equipment complies with IEC 60601-1-2 + A1 for electromagnetic compatibility for medical electrical
equipment and/or systems. This standard is designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful
interference in a typical medical installation. However, because of the proliferation of radio-frequency transmitting
equipment and other sources of electrical noise in healthcare and other environments, it is possible that high
levels of such interference due to close proximity or strength of a source might disrupt the performance of this
device. Medical electrical equipment needs special precautions regarding EMC, and all equipment must be
installed and put into service according to the EMC information specified.
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.
