• Setting the month to “00” disables the calendar and clock functions and helps conserve battery life. Refer to “Calendar Setting” on page 16 for additional information. • The memory of the 9843 may be erased when the batteries are removed. • Replacing batteries may erase the clock settings of the 9843.
Displays and Indicators Displays and Indicators Display The SpO display is identified by the SpO symbol. This 3-digit light-emitting diode (LED) display shows the current oxygen saturation percentage. Pulse Rate Display The Pulse Rate display is identified by the symbol. This 3-digit LED display shows the pulse rate in pulses per minute.

When the device is turned on, the device will cycle through a startup/initialization sequence before displaying valid data. During startup, always check for any missing indicators or LED display segments. If any indicator is not functioning, do not use the device. Contact Nonin Technical Service for repair or replacement.
(if the breath beep sound volume is not turned off). Setup All functions of the 9843 are controlled by buttons found on the keypad on the front of the device. Press the On/Standby button to turn the device on or to enter Standby mode.
SpO display to the next sequential parameter as listed in Table 2. 3. Continue this process until all parameters are set. When the setting sequence has been completed, the 9843: a. exits the setup mode, and b. begins normal operation.
Visible Indicators Refer to Figure 2 on page 7 for a detailed illustration of the 9843 controls and indicators. The intended operator’s position for correctly perceiving a visual alarm signal and its priority is 1 meter (3.3 feet), per IEC 60601-1-8.
Using the 9843 Pulse Oximeter Pulse Quality Indicator CAUTION: The device may misinterpret motion artifact as good pulse quality. The pulse quality indicator blinks once for each pulse while measuring oxygen saturation. The pulse quality indicator changes color to indicate changes in the pulse waveform signal that may affect the SpO data.
Each time the 9843 is turned on, the audible breath beep will default to the medium sound volume setting. During normal operation, pressing the set-up/event marker button cycles the audible breath beep sound volume between low, medium, high, and off.
The Model 9840SA CO Sensor is a crescent-shaped device containing light emitting and detecting elements (Figure 6) on the end of a cable that connects to the 9843. The CO sensor is connected on to the Model 9840AAT Airway Adapter Tube, which in turn is connected between the endotracheal tube and the breathing circuit of intubated patients.
) Sensor and Airway Adapter Tube Airway Adapter Tube WARNING: Do not use the Model 9843 CO detector for patients younger than 3 years old and weighing less than 10 kg (22 lb) due to the dead space introduced by the airway adapter tube.
