Ensuring Optimal Performance
In order to ensure safety and optimal performance of the monitor, Nonin recommends a yearly
inspection and functional check be performed on the monitor (see
). The inspection and functional check may be performed by Nonin Technical
Services or at your facility.
Perform the calibration procedure at least every 6 months, or if the baseline of the CO
2
graph is
elevated (see
). After calibration, the monitor should be verified using 5%
CO
2
gas. The calibration apparatus, gas valve, and 5% CO

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