Mounting

LifeSense can be equipped with a mounting bracket and adjustable mounting clamp, intended
to fit most hospital rails, poles, and table edges. The mounting bracket is screwed onto the back
side of the LifeSense monitor.
After attaching the mounting bracket to the monitor, securely clamp the monitor to the hospital
rail, pole or table edge. If the pole is mobile, do not attach the monitor to the pole higher than
1.5 meters (5 feet) and do not exceed a total of 2 kilograms (4.5 pounds) of equipment on
the pole.
Contact Nonin Customer Support to order a mounting bracket and adjustable mounting clamp.
CAUTION: Secure LifeSense with mounting bracket if used in transport vehicles.
!
CAUTION: Do not mount LifeSense directly above the patient. If the monitor is
!
mounted, be sure to check that the adjustable mounting clamp is securely affixed.
CAUTION: When mounting the monitor to a mobile pole, mounting the monitor
!
higher than 1.5 meters (5 feet) or mounting more than 2 kilograms (4.5 pounds) of
equipment of onto the pole may result in tipping, damage to the equipment, or injury.

Pulse Oximeter Sensor

Intended Use

Nonin-branded PureLight oximeter sensors are designed to non-invasively measure oxygen
saturation (%SpO ), pulse rate, and plethysmographic pulse waves.

Applying the Sensor

The following instructions refer to the sensor supplied in the LifeSense
standard kit. Other sensors have separate instructions included in their
packaging.
1. Choose the appropriate sensor for the patient that will be monitored.
2. Remove nail polish or artificial fingernails, if applicable.
3. Insert a finger into the sensor until the end of the finger reaches the finger stop. Keep the
fingernail facing the sensor top. Ensure long fingernails do not interfere with proper finger
position.
4. Position the sensor so the cable lies on top of the hand. This places the light source on
the fingernail side and the detector on the underside of the finger.
WARNING: When selecting a sensor application site, use an extremity without a
catheter, blood pressure cuff, or intravascular infusion line.
WARNING: Do not use a damaged sensor.
