Nonin LifeSense LS1-9R Operator's Manual page 9

Cautions (Continued)
This equipment complies with IEC 60601-1-2 for electromagnetic compatibility for medical electrical equipment and/
or systems. This standard is designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference in a typical
medical installation. However, because of the proliferation of radio-frequency transmitting equipment and other
sources of electrical noise in healthcare and other environments, it is possible that high levels of such interference
due to close proximity or strength of a source might disrupt the performance of this device. Medical electrical
equipment needs special precautions regarding EMC, and all equipment must be installed and put into service
according to the EMC information specified in this manual.
Set or adjust alarm parameters one at a time.
Do not cover or block speaker opening. This may significantly reduce the sound volume.
Before each use, it is the operator's responsibility to verify that the alarm limits are appropriate for the patient being
monitored.
Always clean the Nonin PureLight reusable sensor after each patient use. Before cleaning, unplug it from the monitor.
The patient's nasal passage may dry out if continuous monitoring is required. Check patient on a regular basis for
nasal comfort.
If the EtCO value is out of normal range (4.4 – 5.7 Vol%/KPa or 33 – 43 mmHg) an internal air leak is possible.

Replace the single-use disposable moisture trap and repeat the calibration procedure. If the problem persists, contact
Nonin Technical Service.
If LifeSense is intended to be stored for longer periods of time, always charge the battery to full capacity before
storing it in order to prevent damage to the equipment.
Avoid rapid temperature change or extreme temperatures. This can cause malfunction.
Never store or transport LifeSense where condensation can occur. However, if this has occurred, wait until all
condensation has evaporated before using LifeSense.
Do not attempt to replace the battery inside the monitor. The battery is not field replaceable and cannot be replaced
by the operator. Use only Nonin-specified components. Contact Nonin Technical Service when the battery needs
replacing. Battery replacement by inadequately trained personnel could result in a hazardous situation.
Do not charge Li-Ion batteries at a temperature of 0 °C (32 °F) or less as this may result in significantly reduced
battery life.
The sample line, moisture trap, Nafion tubing, filter, and T-connector are single-patient use, disposable components.
Dispose all components in accordance with your local, state, or national regulations regarding waste management.
Do not sterilize or autoclave the monitor or sensors. Do not immerse in liquids. Do not disassemble the plastic parts
of the single-use disposable moisture trap.
Never open the monitor housing/case. By opening the case you render your warranty invalid.
The oximeter sensor might not work on cold extremities due to reduced circulation. Warm or rub the finger to increase
circulation, or reposition the sensor.
In compliance with the European Directive on Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment (WEEE) 2002/96/EC, do
not dispose of this product as unsorted municipal waste. This device contains WEEE materials; please contact your
distributor regarding take-back or recycling of the device. If you are unsure how to reach your distributor, please call
Nonin for your distributor's contact information.
