Using the Nonin Model 3150 Pulse Oximeter
This chapter describes how to use the Nonin Model 3150 Pulse Oximeter with the VistaPoint application
for the purpose of monitoring oxygen saturation (%SpO
2
). The Model 3150 is a wrist-worn device that
employs a replaceable, optical sensor worn on the fingertip. The sensor is available in several versions,
including disposable adhesive sensors, and reusable clip-on and soft rubber sensors.
The Model 3150 operates as a “streaming” device, meaning that it is intended to continuously measure
and upload oxygen saturation for extended time periods.
Preparing the Model 3150 for Operation
Before using the Model 3150 Pulse Oximeter with the VistaPoint application, refer to the
Nonin Medical
Model 3150 Operator’s Manual
to perform the following tasks:
•
Read and understand the Model 3150 Indications for Use, Warnings, and Cautions
•
Unpack the device
•
Install batteries
•
Attach the wristband
•
Attach the sensor
Pairing the Model 3150
Use the following procedure to pair the Model 3150 Pulse Oximeter to the VistaPoint application:
Step 1: Launch VistaPoint
Launch the VistaPoint application. Ensure the VitalPatch biosensor on the patient is paired with the
VistaPoint application and is currently displaying the patient’s vital signs.
Step 2: Find the Bluetooth ID
Turn over the Model 3150 and locate the Bluetooth ID, labelled as “BDA” (see Figure 26). Write the
Bluetooth ID down for use later in this procedure (or keep with the patient’s records). This number should
also be on the box that the Model 3150 came in.
Step 3: Apply to Patient
Apply the Model 3150 to the patient using the wristband and the chosen sensor type. Check the that
patient’s oxygen saturation percentage is displayed on the wrist unit. Refer to Figure 23(note that the
sensor type may be different than shown):
