Battery Replacement
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.
Sample Line
Intended Use
The sample line is used to measure the content of carbon dioxide in exhaled air (EtCO
2
). It is
single-use, disposable tubing that connects to the monitor’s moisture trap with a Luer lock
connector. One sample line is included in the standard kit. The monitor can be fitted with several
types of sample lines to best suit the patient (see
).
The following instructions refer to the nasal cannula supplied in the standard system configuration.
Other sample lines have separate instructions included in their packaging.
Applying the Sample Line
1. Insert the cannula into the patient’s nostrils.
2. Place the tubing behind each ear.
3. Connect the Luer lock fitting to the moisture trap and twist to tighten.
CAUTION:
Do not attempt to replace the battery inside the monitor. The battery is
not field replaceable and cannot be replaced by the operator. Use only Nonin-
specified components. Use of another battery may present a risk of fire or explosion.
Contact Nonin Technical Service when the battery needs replacing. Battery
replacement by inadequately trained personnel could result in a hazardous situation.
WARNING: To avoid patient injury, only use Nonin-specified power supplies, cables,
and accessories (see
).
CAUTION:
The sample line, moisture trap, filter, and Nafion tubing are single-patient
use, disposable components. Do not reuse disposable accessories. Accessories
marked “single-use” must be used on one patient only and be disposed of after
usage. Dispose of all components in accordance with your local, state or national
regulations regarding waste management.
CAUTION:
The patient’s nasal passage may dry out if continuous monitoring is
required. Check patient hourly for nasal comfort.
