• Operation of this device below the minimum amplitude of 0.3% modulation may cause inaccurate results.
• Discontinue use of adhesive tape strips if the patient exhibits an allergic reaction to the adhesive material.
• Avoid excessive pressure to the sensor application site as this may cause damage to the skin beneath the sensor.
• When a system fault occurs, the patient will no longer be monitored.
• To comply with relevant product safety standards, ensure that all alarm volumes are set appropriately and are audible in all situations.
Do not cover or otherwise hinder any speaker openings.
• The device turns off after approximately 10 minutes when at low battery capacity.
• Before changing the batteries, make sure the device is off and the sensor is not attached to a digit.
• Portable RF communications equipment such as cell phones or radios (including peripherals such as antenna cables and external antennas)
should be used no closer than 30 cm (12 inches) to any part of the ME system, including cables specified by the manufacturer. Otherwise,
degradation of the performance of this equipment could result.
Warnings – only for the Model 2500A PalmSAT Pulse Oximeter with Alarms
• Verify all alarm settings and limits during system startup to ensure that they are set as intended.
• A hazard can exist if different presets are used on multiple 2500A monitors in one care area.
• Because operating environments vary, use caution to ensure that all audible alarms and indicators can be heard. Users must determine the
acceptable audible distance of all alarms.
• Do not place this device in an environment where its speaker opening may become blocked; alarms may become muffled or inaudible.
• Turning off the alarm volume creates a situation that is not compliant with relevant safety standards. The alarm silence indicator is lit solid
when the alarm volume is turned off or set below 45 dBA.
Cautions
• Before use, carefully read the package insert provided with the sensors.
• This device is not an apnea monitor.
• Verify that all visible indicators illuminate and that an audible indicator sounds during the startup (initialization) sequence. If any indicator is
not lit or the audible indicator does not sound, do not use the device. Contact Nonin Technical Service for assistance.
• Review all limits to ensure they are appropriate for the patient.
• The presence of a defibrillator may interfere with the performance of this device.
• This device may not work on all patients. If you are unable to achieve stable readings, discontinue use.
• This device has motion tolerant software that minimizes the likelihood of motion artifact being misinterpreted as good pulse quality. In some
circumstances, however, the device may still interpret motion as good pulse quality. Minimize patient motion as much as possible.
• Ear Clip and Reflectance sensors are not recommended for pediatric or neonatal use. The accuracy of these sensors has not been established
for pediatric or neonatal use.
• Do not autoclave or immerse the device or sensors in liquid. Do not expose the device or components to excessive moisture or liquids.
• Do not use caustic or abrasive cleaning agents on the device or the sensors.
• The oximeter sensor might not work on cold extremities due to reduced circulation. Warm or rub the finger to increase circulation, or reposition
the sensor.
• Replace the batteries as soon as possible after a low-battery indication. Always replace the batteries with fully charged batteries.
• Use only Nonin-specified battery types with this device.
• Do not use fully charged and partially charged batteries at the same time. This may cause the batteries to leak.
• Do not remove any covers other than the battery cover when replacing batteries. There are no user-serviceable parts inside other than the
replaceable batteries.
• Follow local, state and national governing ordinances and recycling instructions regarding disposal or recycling of the device and device
components, including batteries.
• Batteries may leak or explode if used or disposed of improperly.
• Remove the batteries if the device will be stored for more than 1 month.
