Warnings (Continued)
Use the device only with Nonin-specified power supplies.
The device's Nurse Call feature should not be used as the primary source of alarm notification.
All parts and accessories connected to the serial port of the device must be certified according to at least IEC
60950 or UL 1950 for data-processing equipment.
The battery pack must be installed at all times while the device is operating, even when operating on AC power.
The audible alarms and memory will not function if batteries are removed from the device
To comply with relevant product safety standards, ensure that all alarm volumes are set appropriately and are
audible in all situations.
The serial port cover must be installed at all times unless serial cable is attached.
Cautions
When mounting the monitor to a mobile pole, mounting the monitor more than 1.5 meters (5 feet) or mounting
more than 2 kilograms (4.4 pounds) of equipment onto the pole may result in tipping, damage to the equipment,
or injury.
Review all limits to ensure they are appropriate for the patient.
Setting alarm limits to extremes can render the alarm system useless.
This device is designed to determine the percentage of arterial oxygen saturation of functional hemoglobin.
Factors that may degrade pulse oximeter performance or affect the accuracy of the measurement include the
following:
- excessive ambient light
- excessive motion
- electrosurgical interference
- blood flow restrictors (arterial catheters, blood
pressure cuffs, infusion lines) - moisture in the
sensor
- improperly applied sensor
- incorrect sensor type
The device may not work when circulation is reduced. Warm or rub the finger, or reposition the device.
In some circumstances, the device may interpret motion as good pulse quality. Minimize patient motion as much
as possible.
Do not autoclave or immerse this device in liquid or use caustic or abrasive cleaning agents.
A functional tester cannot be used to assess the accuracy of a pulse oximeter monitor or sensor.
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 in this manual.
