Do not use any part of this system in an MRI environment.
Explosion Hazard: Do not use this system in an explosive atmosphere or in the
presence of flammable anesthetics or gases.
This system is intended only as an adjunct in patient assessment. It must be used in
conjunction with other methods of assessing clinical signs and symptoms.
Oximeter readings may be affected by the use of an electrosurgical unit (ESU).
Use only NONIN-manufactured PureLight™ pulse oximeter sensors. These sensors
are manufactured to meet the accuracy specifications for NONIN pulse oximeters.
Using other manufacturers’ sensors can result in improper pulse oximeter perfor-
mance.
Do not use a damaged sensor.
Do not use in or around water or any other liquid when the AC power adapter is used.
Use this pulse oximetry system with 300PS-XX AC power adapters, where XX repre-
sents the power supply designation.
As with all medical equipment, carefully route cables and connections to reduce the
possibility of entanglement or strangulation.
All parts and accessories connected to the serial port of this system must be certified
according to IEC Standard EN 60950 or UL 1950 for data-processing equipment.
To avoid the risk of confusing or misinterpreting patient data, verify that the patient is
paired with the correct display unit.
This pulse oximetry system is designed to determine the percentage of arterial oxy-
gen saturation of functional hemoglobin. Significant levels of dysfunctional hemo-
globin, such as methemoglobin, might affect the accuracy of the measurement.
Loss of monitoring can result if any objects hinder the pulse measurement. Ensure
that no blood flow restrictors (e.g., blood pressure cuff) hinder pulse measurements.
