Cautions - Nonin 9847 Operator's Manual

Warnings (Continued)
This device should not be used adjacent to or stacked with other equipment. If adjacent or stacked use is necessary, the
device should be observed carefully to verify normal operation.
The use of accessories, sensors, and cables other than those specified in the Parts and Accessories List may result in
increased electromagnetic emission and/or decreased immunity of this device.
To avoid patient injury, use only with Nonin-branded PureLight
to meet the accuracy specifications for Nonin Pulse Oximeters. Using other manufacturers' sensors can result in improper
pulse oximeter performance.
To prevent improper performance and/or patient injury, verify compatibility of the monitor, sensor(s), and accessories
before use.
No modifications to this device are allowed as it may affect device performance.
Check the pulse oximeter sensor application site every 4 hours to determine the circulation, positioning, and skin
sensitivity of the patient. Each patient's sensitivity to Nonin sensors may vary depending on their medical status or the
condition of their skin.
As with all medical equipment, carefully route patient cabling to reduce the possibility of entanglement, strangulation, or
injury to the patient.
Discontinue use of adhesive tape strips if the patient exhibits an allergic reaction to the adhesive material.
Avoid excessive pressure to the sensor application site as this may cause damage to the skin beneath the sensor.
Do not reuse the Model 9840AAT Airway Adapter Tube. Cleaning the interior will damage the anti-fog coating and cause
inaccurate readings.
If the airway adapter tube packaging appears to be damaged or open, discard it and replace it with a new one.
The Model 9840AAT Airway Adapter Tube will increase dead space by approximately 6 cubic centimeters (0.4 cubic
inches); this may adversely affect ventilation for patients with small tidal volumes.
If the Model 9847 CO detector results are inconclusive, the correct anatomic location of the endotracheal tube must be
2
confirmed by other methods.
Do not use the Model 9847 CO
erroneous readings.
This device must be able to measure the pulse properly to obtain an accurate SpO
hindering the pulse measurement before relying on the SpO
Operation of this device below the minimum amplitude of 0.3% modulation may cause inaccurate results.
Before changing the batteries, make sure the device is off and the sensor is not attached to a digit.

Cautions

Before use, carefully read the Instructions for Use provided with sensors and airway adapters.
This device is a precision electronic instrument and must be repaired by trained Nonin personnel only. 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.
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 onto the pole may results in tipping, damage to the equipment, or injury.
This device is not an apnea monitor.
