Getting Started

Preparations

Visually inspect the monitor and make sure it has no visible signs of damage. Replace the single-
use disposable moisture trap and filter on the back of the monitor before each use. The moisture
trap slides into place and is pressed into position. To remove, pull the plastic tab on the back of
the moisture trap to snap it out of position. Refer to "Single-Patient Use, Disposable Moisture
Trap and Filters" for instructions on how to handle and maintain the moisture trap and filter.
Connect the sample line to the adjacent connector on the monitor's side and secure it by turning
the Luer lock connector clockwise. Only use sample lines recommended by Nonin (see
"Accessories").
