Check The Alarm Limits; Disconnect The Patient; Connecting The Device Into A Medical System - Nonin LifeSense LS1-9R Operator's Manual

Check the Alarm Limits

Adjust alarm limits for each patient. If appropriate, use the factory default settings that are
programmed at start-up. All settings are adjusted using the touch panel display. Refer to
"Settings and Alarms" for instructions on how to change alarm limits.
The audible alarm function activates approximately 2 minutes after start up, unless activated by
the operator before then. The monitor is now ready for use. The patient can stay connected to
the monitor for as long as needed.
CAUTION: Set or adjust only one parameter at a time.
!
Contraindication: Do not use LifeSense during defibrillation.
WARNING: LifeSense is intended only as an adjunct in patient assessment. It must be
used in conjunction with other methods of assessing clinical signs and symptoms.

Disconnect the Patient

Turn off the monitor using the ON/OFF
NOTE: If the monitor is ON and there is no patient connected, the alarm will activate.

Connecting the Device into a Medical System

Incorporating the device into a medical system requires the integrator to identify, analyze, and
evaluate the risks to patient, operators, and third parties. Subsequent changes to the medical
system after device integration could introduce new risks and will require additional analysis.
Changes to the medical system that must be evaluated include:
• Changing the system configuration
• Adding devices to or disconnecting devices from the system
• Updating or upgrading equipment connected to the system
Issues resulting from user-initiated system changes may include corruption or loss of data.
NOTES:
• Use of a multiple-socket outlet with multiple devices results in a Medical Electrical System.
• When using the serial port to connect the device to other equipment, follow each device's
cleaning instructions.
• Verify all equipment connected to the device is suitable for the patient's environment.
CAUTION: Failure of a network data coupling (serial cable/connectors) will result in
!
loss of data transfer.
