Mounting

RespSense can be equipped with a mounting bracket and adjustable mounting clamp, intended
to fit most hospital rails, poles, and table edges. The mounting bracket is screwed onto the back
side of the RespSense monitor.
After attaching the mounting bracket to the monitor, securely clamp the monitor to the hospital
rail, pole or table edge. If the pole is mobile, do not attach the monitor to the pole higher than
1.5 meters (5 feet) and do not exceed a total of 2 kilograms (4.5 pounds) of equipment on the
pole.
Contact Nonin Customer Support to order a mounting bracket and adjustable mounting clamp.
CAUTION: Secure RespSense with mounting bracket if used in transport vehicles.
!
CAUTION: Do not mount RespSense directly above the patient. If the monitor is
!
mounted, be sure to check that the adjustable mounting clamp is securely affixed.
CAUTION: 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 result in tipping, damage to the equipment, or injury.
