Discussion

Before using the monitor, you must verify that it is working properly and is safe to
use. Proper working conditions are verified each time the monitor is turned on as
described in the following procedure. The POST verification procedure takes
approximately 10 seconds to complete.
Caution: If any indicator or display element does not light when the monitor
is turned on, do not use it. Instead, contact qualified service personnel, your
local Nellcor representative, or Nellcor's Technical Services Department.
Note: Physiological conditions, medical procedures, or external agents that may
interfere with the monitor's ability to detect and display accurate measurements
include: dysfunctional hemoglobin, arterial dyes, low perfusion, dark pigment,
and externally applied coloring agents, such as nail polish, dye, or pigmented
cream.
Note: The O M N-65 automatically starts POST, which tests the monitor
