Verifying System Operation
When the display unit is first turned on, it performs a brief startup (initialization)
sequence. Verify that all LEDs illuminate and the unit beeps three times during the
first phase of the startup sequence. If any LED is not lit (except the AC Power
Adapter LED), do not use the device. Contact your distributor or NONIN
Customer Support for assistance.
After this initialization sequence, the amber Connection Status LED and amber
dashes are displayed, turning green when communication is established and a
Bluetooth connection is made (devices must be paired before a Bluetooth
connection can be established; see “Device Pairing”). The Main Alarm LED and
Pulse Oximeter LED blink amber until the oximeter produces valid readings.
Use the procedure below to monitor SpO
2
and pulse rate readings in order to verify
that the device is functioning properly.
1. Ensure that the display unit is turned on, and that the unit has been paired
with the desired POD. (See “Device Pairing” for more information.)
2. Apply the wrist-worn POD around the wrist.
3. Connect a sensor to the POD, and attach it to the patient’s finger. Connecting
the sensor automatically activates the POD; there are no buttons to press.
4. Verify that a good SpO
2
reading is displayed, that a pulse rate value appears,
and that the Pulse Strength Bargraph LED is active.
