Indications for Use
Indications for Use
The Nonin Model 9847V Veterinary Pulse Oximeter and Carbon Dioxide Detector is indicated for use
in measuring and displaying functional oxygen saturation of arterial hemoglobin (SpO
2
), pulse rate,
and approximate carbon dioxide (CO
2
) changes in the airway of intubated animals. These functions
may be used separately or simultaneously.
Pulse Oximeter Intended Use
The pulse oximeter is intended to be used for noninvasively monitoring oxygen saturation and pulse
rate. The pulse oximeter may be used for spot checking and/or continuous monitoring when attended
by a veterinary professional.
Carbon Dioxide Detector Intended Use
The CO
2
detector is a mainstream device intended to be used for semi-quantitative detection of CO
2
levels in intubated animals. The CO
2
detector may be used to initially confirm proper placement of the
endotracheal tube and to provide continued confirmation of correct endotracheal tube placement and
animal respiration status.
Contraindication:
Do not use in an explosive atmosphere or in the presence of flammable anesthetics or gasses.
Warnings
The Model 9847V is intended for VETERINARY USE ONLY.
Do not use this device in an MR environment.
This device is not defibrillation proof per IEC 60601-1.
This device is intended only as an adjunct in animal assessment. It must be used in conjunction with other methods of
assessing clinical signs and symptoms.
Do not use the Model 9847V CO
2
detector during mouth-to-tube ventilation. The presence of CO
2
in the exhaled breath
from the person performing resuscitation will cause inaccurate readings.
The Model 9847V detects exhaled CO
2
. Standard clinical assessment must be used.
Oximeter readings of this device may be affected by the use of an electrosurgical unit (ESU).
Do not use a damaged sensor. If the sensor is damaged in any way, discontinue use immediately and replace the
sensor.
Verify all alarm settings and limits during system startup to ensure that they are set as intended.
A hazard can exist if different presets are used on multiple 9847V monitors in one care area.
This device should not be used adjacent to or stacked with other equipment. If adjacent or stacked use is necessary, the
device should be observed carefully to verify normal operation.
The use of accessories, sensors, and cables other than those specified may result in increased emission and/or
decreased immunity of this device.
To avoid injury to the animal, use only with Nonin-branded PureLight
®
pulse oximeter sensors. These sensors are
manufactured to meet the accuracy specifications for Nonin Pulse Oximeters. Using other manufacturers’ sensors can
result in improper pulse oximeter performance.
