Use only with Nonin-branded PureLight pulse oximeter sensors. These sensors are manufactured to meet the accuracy specifications for Nonin Pulse Oximeters. Using other manufacturers’ sensors may cause improper pulse oximeter performance. Using other manufacturers’ sensors can result in improper pulse oximeter performance.
Verify that all visible indicators illuminate during the startup (initialization) sequence. If any indicator is not lit, do not use the device. Contact Nonin Technical Service for assistance. The presence of a defibrillator may interfere with the performance of this device.

Guide to Symbols Guide to Symbols This table describes the symbols that are found on the Model 2500 and in this manual. Table 1: Labeling Symbols Symbol Description Consult Instructions for Use. Follow Instructions for Use. Type BF Applied Part (Patient isolation from electrical shock). UL Mark for Canada and the United States with respect to electric shock, fire, and mechanical hazards only in accordance with UL 60601-1 and CAN/CSA- C22.2 No.
Displays and Indicators Displays and Indicators Display The SpO display is the upper numeric display (identified by the %SpO symbol). This 3-digit light-emitting diode (LED) display shows the current oxygen saturation percentage. Pulse Rate Display The Pulse Rate display is the lower numeric display (identified by the symbol).
Using the PalmSAT Pulse Oximeter Using the PalmSAT Pulse Oximeter The Model 2500 PalmSAT is a digital handheld pulse oximeter that displays numerical values for blood oxygen saturation (%SpO ) and pulse rate. This device will typically operate for 80 hours continuously between alkaline battery replacements, or for 40 hours with the Model 2500B Rechargeable NiMH (Nickel Metal Hydride) Battery Pack (optional).
Using the PalmSAT Pulse Oximeter The Model 2500 Pulse Oximeter may be used with a variety of Nonin-branded PureLight pulse oximeter sensors. A sensor disconnect or malfunction is indicated by an inadequate Pulse Quality display blinking and/or a dash to the left of the SpO value on the LED display.
Using the PalmSAT Pulse Oximeter When batteries are critically low, the digital displays will go blank, and the Pulse Quality display will blink amber or red, but not green. After 10 minutes at critically low battery capacity, the pulse oximeter will shut off automatically. WARNING: The device turns off after approximately 10 minutes when at critically low battery capacity.
Using the PalmSAT Pulse Oximeter Important Notes about Battery Use Four AA alkaline batteries provide the device with approximately 80 hours of continuous operation, while the Rechargeable NiMH Battery Pack provides approximately 40 hours of continuous operation. Clock/calendar settings can significantly affect battery storage life. Batteries drain during storage, but they drain much more quickly when the unit’s clock/calendar functions are set.
Using the PalmSAT Pulse Oximeter Connecting the Sensor Connect the pulse oximeter sensor (with the Nonin logo facing up) to the top of the device as shown. Ensure that the sensor is firmly plugged in. Refer to “Specifications” or to the specific sensor package insert for pulse oximeter sensor positioning information.
Using the PalmSAT Pulse Oximeter Monitoring Verify that the pulse oximeter sensor is properly positioned on the patient. Ensure that the pulse oximeter is sensing adequate pulse quality by: • verifying that the Pulse Quality display is blinking green and •...
