Battery Care

The battery, made of Lithium Ion (Li-Ion) rechargeable cells, is integral to the device and cannot 
be replaced by anyone other Nonin Technical Service. The life expectancy of the battery is 
approximately 1 year. 

For optimal performance, the battery should be replaced once per year to limit the amount of Li 
build up if the battery is charged in a cold environment.

Maintenance

Ensuring Optimal Performance

In order to ensure safety and optimal performance of LifeSense, Nonin recommends a yearly 
inspection and functional check be performed on the monitor (see Recommended Inspections 
and Functional Check section). This inspection and functional check may be performed by Nonin 
Technical Services or at your facility. Additionally, the LifeSense monitor should be calibrated 
(see Calibration section), and the calibration should be verified using 5% CO

2

 gas (a calibration 

apparatus, gas valve, and 5% CO

2

 verification gas are available from Nonin [see Accessories]).

Please contact Nonin Technical Services if monitor maintenance cannot be performed at your 
facility. 

Cleaning the Sensor

Refer to individual sensor Instructions for Use for details.

Cleaning the Monitor

Clean the monitor with a soft cloth moistened with isopropyl alcohol. Allow the monitor to dry 
completely after cleaning.

Calibration

LifeSense has a built-in zero-point calibration function for CO

2

. Perform the calibration procedure 

at least every 6 months, or if the baseline of the CO

2

 graph is elevated.

The calibration apparatus (see “Accessories”) is reusable for approximately 100 times. When the 
pellets start to turn purple they cannot absorb any more CO

2

 and the calibration apparatus must 

be replaced. Dispose of the calibration apparatus in accordance with your local, state, or national 
regulations concerning waste materials.

CAUTION: 

Always turn off the monitor prior to cleaning the monitor or changing the 

pulse oximeter sensor or moisture trap and/or filter.

CAUTION: 

Do not sterilize or autoclave the monitor or sensors. Do not immerse in 

liquids.
