Communication; Memory Features - Nonin Avant 9600 Operator's Manual

This chapter describes the memory playback and real-time capabilities of the Avant
9600 Digital Pulse Oximeter.

Memory Features

The Avant 9600 can collect and store more than 115 hours of SpO
information.
Data may be played back with data retrieval software (NONIN's nVISION
software is recommended). If you wish to create your own software, contact
NONIN for the data format.
The memory in the Avant 9600 functions much like an "endless loop" tape. When
the memory fills up, the unit begins overwriting the oldest data with the new data.
IMPORTANT! Data is overwritten ONE RECORD AT A TIME—so if
Each time the Avant 9600 is turned on, the current time/date information (if the
clock is set properly) is stored in memory, starting a new recording session. Only
recording sessions greater than one minute in length are stored in memory.
Patient SpO and pulse rate are sampled every 2 seconds. Every 4 seconds, the
2
extreme value of the 4-second sample period is stored. Oxygen saturation values are
stored in 1% increments in the range of 0 to 100%.
The stored pulse rate ranges from 18 to 300 pulses per minute. The stored values
are in increments of one pulse per minute in the interval from 18 to 200 pulses per
minute, and in increments of 2 pulses per minute in the interval from 201 to 300
pulses per minute.
WARNING: The battery pack must be installed at all times while the
device is operating—even when operating on AC power. If it
is necessary to operate the device without batteries, audible
alarms and memory functions may not be available. DO NOT
use the device without batteries when patient safety relies
upon audible alarms.

Communication

the entire memory is filled with a single record, that entire
record will be deleted when a new record begins.
