Indications for Use
Cautions (Continued)
This device must be able to measure the pulse properly to obtain an accurate SpO measurement. Verify that nothing is
2
hindering the pulse measurement before relying on the SpO measurement. If the pulse quality or pulse rate displays
2
are erratic or inaccurate, first examine the animal for any signs of distress and then reexamine sensor placement.
Do not autoclave or immerse the device or sensors in liquid. Do not expose the device or components to excessive
moisture or liquids.
Do not use caustic or abrasive cleaning agents on the device or the sensors.
The oximeter sensor might not work on cold extremities due to reduced circulation. Warm or rub the sensor site to
increase circulation, or reposition the sensor.
The device is not designed to retain data in memory once the batteries are removed. Memory will clear 60 seconds after
removing the batteries. Replacing the batteries before 60 seconds have elapsed most likely will result in corrupt data.
Always replace the batteries with fully charged batteries. Do not use fully charged and partially charged batteries at the
same time as this may cause the batteries to leak.
Use only Nonin-specified battery types with this device.
Do not use different types of batteries at the same time. Do not mix fully charged and partially charged batteries at the
same time. These actions may cause the batteries to leak.
This device is a precision electronic instrument and must be repaired by Nonin Technical Service. 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.
Any sign or evidence of opening the system, field service by non-Nonin personnel, tampering, or any kind of misuse or
abuse of the system, shall void the warranty in its entirety.
Batteries may leak or explode if used or disposed of improperly.
Remove the batteries if the device will be stored for more than 1 month.
Follow local, state and national governing ordinances and recycling instructions regarding disposal or recycling of the
device and device components, including batteries.
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.
All parts and accessories connected to the serial port of this device must be certified according to at least IEC Standard
EN 60950, IEC 62368-1, or UL 1950 for data-processing equipment.
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.
Do not use the airway adapter tube if the airway adapter tube is below 5 °C (41 °F). An airway adapter tube that is below
5 °C (41 °F) may frost, causing a false reading. Warm the airway adapter tube to above 5 °C (41 °F) by putting it in a
warm place (for example, in your hands or in a vehicle) prior to use.
An airway adapter that is between 5 °C (41 °F) and 10 °C (50 °F) may cause inaccurate reading due to fogging of
optical surfaces. It is recommended that the airway adapter tube be warmed to above 10 °C (50 °F) before use.
Water or other liquid between the airway adapter tube and the CO sensor may cause erroneous readings.

Ensure this device, the airway adapter tube, and the sensors have stabilized at the specified environmental operating
conditions before use.
