Connecting An Oximax™ Pulse Oximetry Sensor - Nellcor OXIMAX N-600X Series Service Manual

Note:
Whenever the oximeter is connected to AC power source, the battery is being charged.
Nellcor recommends the oximeter remain connected to an AC power source when not in
use. This ensures full battery power when the oximeter is needed.
Connecting an OxiMax™ Pulse Oximetry Sensor
WARNING
Use only Nellcor-approved OxiMax pulse oximetry sensors and pulse oximetry cables
when connecting to the OxiMax sensor connector. Connecting any other cable or
sensor influences accuracy of sensor data, which may lead to adverse results.
The bottom of the oximeter screen displays the OxiMax pulse oximetry sensor type
when connecting an OxiMax pulse oximetry sensor to the oximeter or when the
oximeter completes POST with an OxiMax pulse oximetry sensor attached.
Note:
Physiological conditions, medical procedures, or external agents that may interfere with the
oximeter's ability to detect and display measurements include dysfunctional hemoglobin,
arterial dyes, low perfusion, dark pigment, and externally applied coloring agents, such as
nail polish, dye, or pigmented cream.
Note:
Sensor LED light emissions fall within Class 1 level, according to IEC 60825-1:2001.
1. Firmly connect a DOC-10 pulse oximetry cable to the oximeter's SpO
2. Open the plastic latch at the other end of the DOC-10 pulse oximetry cable.
