Nonin Avant 9600 Operator's Manual page 6

Precautions for Use
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.
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 listed in this manual may
result in increased emission and/or decreased immunity of this device.
The Avant 9600 is designed to determine the percentage of arterial oxygen saturation of
functional hemoglobin. Significant levels of dysfunctional hemoglobin, such as methe-
moglobin, might affect the accuracy of the measurement.
To comply with relevant product safety standards, ensure that all alarm volumes are set
appropriately and are audible in all situations.
