Page 7: Indications For Use
Use only with Nonin-branded PureLight pulse oximeter sensors. These sensors are manufactured to meet the accuracy specifications for Nonin Pulse Oximeters. Using other manufacturers’ sensors may cause improper pulse oximeter performance. Using other manufacturers’ sensors can result in improper pulse oximeter performance. -
Page 8: Cautions
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. - Page 9 Do not attempt to open the case or repair the electronics. Opening the case may damage the device and void the warranty. Any sign or evidence of opening the system, field service by non-Nonin personnel, tampering, or any kind of misuse or abuse of the system, shall void the warranty in its entirety.

Page 13: Using The Palmsat Pulse Oximeter
Using the PalmSAT Pulse Oximeter Using the PalmSAT Pulse Oximeter The Model 2500A PalmSAT is a digital handheld pulse oximeter that displays numerical values for blood oxygen saturation (%SpO ) and pulse rate. It provides audible and visual alarms for both medium and high priority conditions. -
Page 14: Unpacking The Model 2500A
Using the PalmSAT Pulse Oximeter The Model 2500A Pulse Oximeter may be used with a variety of Nonin-branded PureLight pulse oximeter sensors. A sensor disconnect or malfunction is indicated by an inadequate Pulse Quality display blinking and/or a dash to the left of the SpO value on the LED display. -
Page 15: Figure 3. Installing Batteries
Using the PalmSAT Pulse Oximeter Low and critically low battery capacity is indicated with a flashing Low Battery indicator and a medium priority alarm. When batteries are critically low, the digital displays will go blank, and the Pulse Quality indicator will blink amber or red, but not green. Any SpO or pulse rate alarms in effect when critically low battery capacity is reached will be latched, and flashing dashes will appear on the corresponding display. -
