Activating the Onyx Vantage 9590 and Verifying Operation

The device contains numeric Light-Emitting Diodes (LEDs) that display oxygen saturation and pulse rate. A tricolor LED
display (pulse quality indicator, shown at left) provides a visual indication of the pulse signal quality, while blinking at the
corresponding pulse rate. This display changes colors to alert you to changes in pulse quality that may affect the readings:
• Green indicates a good pulse signal.
• Yellow indicates a marginal pulse signal.
• Red indicates an inadequate pulse signal.
Activate the 9590 by inserting the patient's finger into the device. The device detects the inserted finger and automatically
illuminates the displays. Correct positioning of the device on the finger is critical for accurate measurements.
Pulse Quality
NOTE: While on the finger, do not press the device against any surface and do not squeeze or hold it together. The internal
Indicator
spring provides the correct pressure; additional pressure may cause inaccurate readings.
1. Insert the patient's finger, nail side up, into the 9590 until the fingertip touches the built-in stop guide.
2. Make sure the finger is lying flat (not on its side) and is centered within the device. For best results, keep the device at
the patient's heart or chest level.
3. If the device does not turn on, remove the finger and wait a few seconds before reinserting it.
When a finger is inserted, the device performs a brief startup sequence. Verify that all LEDs illuminate during the startup
sequence. If any LED is not lit, do not use the 9590; contact Nonin Technical Service for repair or replacement.
After the startup sequence, the device begins sensing the pulse (indicated by the blinking pulse quality indicator). Allow the
device to stabilize and observe about 4 seconds of continuous green-colored pulse quality before relying on the displayed
values. Continually verify operation. It is common for the displayed values to fluctuate slightly over a period of several
seconds. If the pulse quality indicator blinks yellow or red, try another finger.
A minus sign (-) appears in the left-most digit of the %SpO
The last measured SpO
will automatically shut off (to conserve battery life) approximately 10 seconds after the finger is removed, or after a 2-minute
period of inadequate pulse signals.
If the 9590 does not turn on or if it shuts off unexpectedly:
• Verify batteries are correctly inserted. Note: If batteries are installed backwards, the unit will not function.
• The batteries are depleted. Replace batteries.
Continually verify operation. If the problem persists, remove the batteries and contact Nonin Technical Service.
