• As with all medical equipment, carefully route patient cables and connections to reduce the possibility of entanglement or strangulation. • Use this device only with power adapters supplied by NONIN Medical. • This device turns off after approximately 30 minutes when in low battery mode.
• To avoid injury or potential equipment damage, always keep the oximeter, battery charger and metal end of fiber optic cable beyond the distance of magnetic attraction. To ensure safe operation of the 7500FO in the MR environment, the monitor must be located outside the 200 Gauss line of the MR room and must be firmly attached to a fixed object.

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. • To prevent potential loss of monitoring or inaccurate data, remove any objects that might hinder pulse detection and measurement (e.g., blood...

Cautions (Continued) • This device is designed to determine the percentage of arterial oxygen saturation of functional hemoglobin. Factors that may degrade pulse oximeter performance or affect the accuracy of the measurement include the following: - excessive ambient light - excessive motion - electrosurgical interference - blood flow restrictors (arterial catheters, blood pressure cuffs, infusion lines, etc.)
Connector %SpO Display The %SpO display is located on the left-hand side of the Model 7500FO front panel and is identified by the %SpO symbol. This display shows blood oxygen saturation, from 0 to 100 percent. The numeric displays blink during SpO alarm conditions.
This amber LED indicates when a sensor has become disconnected, has failed, or is not compatible with this monitor. NOTE: In the 7500FO, the Sensor Alarm LED latches. Sensor must be properly attached to patient and alarm silence button must be toggled to clear LED.

This amber LED indicates a low battery charge when blinking, and a critical battery charge when lit solidly. This LED does not indicate that the Model 7500FO is running on battery power. WARNING: This device turns off after approximately 30 minutes when in low battery mode.

• Before using the Model 7500FO, please review all contraindications, warnings and cautions. • Before using the Model 7500FO, the battery must be charged for four (4) hours. • When the Model 7500FO reaches critical battery, a medium priority alarm will sound.
WARNING: To avoid injury or potential equipment damage, always keep the oximeter and metal end of fiber optic cable beyond the distance of magnetic attraction. To ensure safe operation of the 7500FO in the MR environment, the monitor must be located outside the 200 Gauss line of the MR room and must be firmly attached to a fixed object.

In Factory Defaults, all adjustable parameters are set as indicated in the table below. This is the Model 7500FO’s default operating setting. The Model 7500FO is shipped with factory defaults active. To revert to factory default alarm limits from the user-defined default alarm limits, simultaneously press the alarm silence and minus (-) buttons.
All user-defined default settings are retained even when both external and battery power are lost. Patient Security Mode Alarm limits cannot be changed when the Model 7500FO is in Patient Security mode. Patient Security mode prevents accidental changes to critical parameters. The Model 7500FO allows users to lock and unlock alarm limits, volume settings, and time settings through the use of Patient Security mode.
Page 20
In Patient Security mode, operators cannot view or set the time and date. When the Model 7500FO is turned on in Patient Security mode, “SEC on” is displayed in the display area, and three informational tones sound. The upper alarm limits are then displayed, followed by the lower alarm limits.
Operator Functions The Model 7500FO has several easy-to-use basic functions. Most involve pressing only a single button. Function Button Instruction Turn the Model Press the ON/STANDBY button to turn on 7500FO on and the Model 7500FO. Press and hold the off.

Watchdog alarms are loud, two-tone, steadily beeping signals that indicate a hardware or software malfunction. When a watchdog alarm is activated, it can be cleared by shutting down the Model 7500FO. If the watchdog alarm cannot be cleared, remove power and contact your distributor or NONIN Technical Service.
Alarm Summary The Model 7500FO detects both patient and equipment alarms. In general, patient alarms are identified as high priority, while equipment alarms are identified as medium priority. High priority alarms always take priority over medium priority alarms. Alarm indicators remain active for as long as the alarm condition is present.
Reviewing and Setting Volume and Alarm Limits NOTE: Alarm limits reset themselves to default values each time the unit is powered up—unless the unit is in Patient Security mode. In Patient Security mode, alarm limits and volumes cannot be adjusted; they can only be viewed. WARNING: To comply with relevant product safety standards, ensure that all alarm volumes are set appropriately and are audible in all situations.
If the error persists, disconnect all power, and then reconnect the power and turn the unit back on. If the error still persists, note the error code and contact NONIN Technical Service at (800) 356-8874 (USA and Canada) or +1 (763) 553-9968...
