Nonin RespSense LS1R-9R Operator's Manual page 9

Cautions (Continued)
Do not attempt to replace the battery inside the monitor. The battery is not field replaceable and cannot be
replaced by the operator. Use only Nonin-specified components. Contact Nonin Technical Service when the
battery needs replacing. Battery replacement by inadequately trained personnel could result in a hazardous
situation.
Do not charge Li-Ion batteries at a temperature of 0 °C (32 °F) or less as this may result in significantly reduced
battery life.
The sample line, moisture trap, Nafion tubing, and filter are single-use disposable components. Do not
disassemble the plastic parts of the single-use disposable moisture trap. Dispose all components in accordance
with your local, state or national regulations regarding waste management.
Be careful not to drop RespSense on the floor or strike it against hard surfaces. If such an incident happens, do
not use RespSense until a functional test has been carried out.
Never open the monitor housing/case. By opening the case you render your warranty invalid.
In compliance with the European Directive on Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment (WEEE) 2002/96/EC,
do not dispose of this product as unsorted municipal waste. This device contains WEEE materials; please
contact your distributor regarding take back or recycling of the device. If you are unsure how to reach your
distributor, please call Nonin for your distributor's contact information.
All parts and accessories connected to the serial port of this device must be certified according to at least
IEC Standard EN 60950 or UL 1950 for data-processing equipment.
The monitor is equipped with automatic barometric pressure compensation. End tidal pCO values displayed are
2
calculated based on an atmospheric pressure of 760 mmHg and pH O of 47 mmHg (example: 760 – 47 = 713,
2
713 x 5% = 36 mmHg).
Water or other liquid in the sampling tube may cause erroneous CO readings.
2
Ensure that all connections are tight, leak-free, and properly attached.
If the Nafion tubing becomes contaminated or damaged during use, discard it and replace it with a new one.
Radios and cell phones or similar devices may affect the RespSense and should be kept at least 2.5 meters
(8 feet) away from the device. Field strengths from fixed transmitters, such as base stations for radio (cellular/
cordless) telephones and land mobile radios, amateur radio, AM and FM radio broadcast towers and TV
broadcast towers may affect accuracy.
Failure of a network data coupling (serial cable/connectors) will result in loss of data transfer.
Before first use and before storing this monitor, fully charge battery.
If not in continuous use, fully charge battery at six-month intervals.
