    ) and pulse rate of adult, pediatric, infant, and neonatal patients in hospitals, medical facilities, home care, and subacute environments. It may also be used in patient transport, sleep laboratories, and EMS environments. The Avant 9600 is intended for continuous monitoring and/or spot-checking of patients during both motion and no-motion conditions, and for patients who are well or poorly perfused.
  • Page 8: Cautions

    As with all medical equipment, carefully route patient cables and connections to reduce the possibility of entanglement, strangulation, or injury to the patient. Use the device only with Nonin-specified power supplies. The device’s Nurse Call feature should not be used as the primary source of alarm notification.
  • Page 9 If the device fails to respond as described, discontinue use until the situation is corrected by qualified personnel. This device is a precision electronic instrument and must be repaired by trained Nonin personnel only. Field repair of the device is not possible. Do not attempt to open the case or repair the electronics. Opening the case may damage the device and void the warranty.
