2. Connect the Nonin-branded PureLight veterinary pulse oximeter sensor (with the Nonin
logo facing toward you) into the NONIN SpO
LifeSense Vet.
3. Ensure that the sensor is firmly plugged in.
4. Position the appropriate sensor on the animal.
WARNING: When selecting a sensor application site, use an extremity without a
catheter, blood pressure cuff or intravascular infusion line.
WARNING: Use only Nonin-branded PureLight veterinary pulse oximeter sensors.
These sensors are manufactured to meet the accuracy specifications of Nonin pulse
oximeters. Using other manufacturers' sensors can result in improper pulse oximeter
performance.
WARNING: Do not use a damaged sensor.
WARNING: Misuse or improper handling of the pulse oximeter sensor could damage
the sensor or the cable, which may lead to inaccurate readings. Never alter or modify
the sensor since this also may affect the performance or accuracy.
CAUTION: Inspect the pulse oximeter sensor application site periodically to ensure
!
correct sensor alignment and skin integrity.
CAUTION: This device is designed to determine the percentage of arterial oxygen
!
saturation of functional hemoglobin. Factors that may degrade pulse oximeter
performance or affect the accuracy of the measurement include the following:
• excessive ambient light
• excessive motion
• electrosurgical interference
• blood flow restrictors (arterial catheters,
blood pressure cuffs, infusion lines, etc.)
• moisture in the sensor
• improperly applied sensor
• incorrect sensor type
CAUTION: The oximeter sensor might not work on cold extremities due to reduced
!
circulation. Warm skin area to increase circulation, or reposition the sensor.
