Indications for Use
When operating in an MR environment, securely fasten this device to a non-movable pole mount or other large object,
and keep it as far from the magnetic field as possible. For magnetic equipment with a magnetic strength of 1.5T or less,
the device must be a minimum of 2 meters away from the magnet.
The fiber cable for this device is extremely sensitive and must be handled with caution at all times. Do not use a
damaged sensor.
To avoid injury or potential equipment damage, always keep the oximeter, battery charger and metal end of fiber optic
cable beyond the distance of magnetic attraction. To ensure safe operation of the 7500FO in the MR environment, the
monitor must be located outside the 200 Gauss line of the MR room and must be firmly attached to a fixed object.
When audible alarms cannot be heard due to ambient noise, visible alarms must be used.
Portable RF communications equipment such as cell phones or radios (including peripherals such as antenna cables
and external antennas) should be used no closer than 30 cm (12 inches) to any part of the medical electrical system,
including cables specified by the manufacturer. Otherwise, degradation of the performance of this equipment could
result.
Cautions
This equipment complies with IEC 60601-1-2 for electromagnetic compatibility for medical electrical equipment and/or
systems. This standard is designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference in a typical medical
installation. However, because of the proliferation of radio-frequency transmitting equipment and other sources of
electrical noise in healthcare and other environments, it is possible that high levels of such interference due to close
proximity or strength of a source might disrupt the performance of this device. Medical electrical equipment needs
special precautions regarding EMC, and all equipment must be installed and put into service according to the EMC
information specified in this manual.
When mounting the monitor to a mobile pole, mounting the monitor higher than 1.5 meters (5 feet) or mounting more
than 2 kilograms (4.5 pounds) of equipment onto the pole may result in tipping, damage to the equipment, or injury.
If the device does not beep during the initialization sequence, the speaker may not be functioning properly. Discontinue
use until the situation is corrected by Nonin Technical Service.
Review all limits to ensure they are appropriate for the patient.
Setting alarm limits to extremes can render the alarm system useless.
Do not simultaneously touch the accessible connector pins and the patient.
This device is a precision electronic instrument and must be repaired by Nonin Technical Service. Field repair of the
device is not possible. Do not attempt to open the case or repair the electronics. Opening the case may damage the
device and void the warranty.
If this device fails to respond as described, discontinue use until the situation is corrected; contact Nonin Technical
Service.
The sensor might not work on cold extremities due to reduced circulation. Warm or rub the finger to increase circulation,
or reposition the sensor.
Do not gas sterilize or autoclave this device.
Batteries might leak or explode if used or disposed of improperly.
This device has motion tolerant software that minimizes the likelihood of motion artifact being misinterpreted as good
pulse quality. In some circumstances, however, the device may still interpret motion as good pulse quality.
Do not place liquids on top of this device.
Do not immerse this device or sensors in any liquids.
Do not use caustic or abrasive cleaning agents on the unit or sensors.
