  • Page 12: General Description

    General Description The 2500A PalmSAT is a digital handheld pulse oximeter that displays numerical values for blood oxygen saturation (%SpO ) and pulse rate. It provides audible and visual alarms for both medium and high priority conditions. The 2500A will typically operate for 60 hours continuously between alkaline battery replacements, or for 40 hours with the Model 2500B Rechargeable NiMH (Nickel Metal Hydride) Battery Pack (optional).
  • Page 13 The 2500A Pulse Oximeter may be used with a variety of NONIN pulse oximeter sensors. A sensor disconnect or malfunction is indicated by a lack of good pulse quality blinking and/or a dash to the left of the SpO value on the LED display.
