To ship an NPB-40 handheld pulse oximeter or one of its components for any
reason, follow the instructions in this section.
Pack the NPB-40 or component carefully. Failure to follow the instructions in
this section may result in loss or damage not covered by any applicable
Nellcor Puritan Bennett warranty. If available, use the original carton and
packing materials and follow the instructions in "Packing in Original
Carton." If the original shipping carton and material are not available, use
other suitable shipping materials and container and follow the instructions in
"Packing in a Different Carton."
Prior to shipping the NPB-40 or component, contact Nellcor Puritan Bennett
Technical Services Department or your local Nellcor Puritan Bennett
representative for a Returned Goods authorization (RGA) number. Mark the
shipping carton and any shipping forms with the RGA number.
Caution: Observe ESD (electrostatic discharge) precautions when
packing any NPB-40 components.
If the original carton and packing materials are available, repack the NPB-40
as shown in Figure 7-1. Add packing material in the bottom of the carton as
needed so the NPB-40 will not be able to move during shipment.
If the original carton and packing material are not available when shipping
an NPB-40 or one of its components:
1. Place the NPB-40 or component in a plastic bag.
2. Locate a corrugated cardboard shipping carton with at least 200 pounds
per square inch (psi) bursting strength.
3. Fill the bottom of the carton with at least 2 inches of packing material.
4. Place the bagged NPB-40 or component on the layer of packing material
and fill the box completely with packing material such that there is at
least 2 inches of packing material around all sides of the item.
5. Seal the carton with packing tape.
6. Label carton with shipping address, return address, and RGA number.
