Use, which contains sensor application information for each sensor.
Protect from exposure to water or any other liquid, with or without AC power.
Use the Model 7600 only with power adapters supplied by Nonin Medical.
As with all medical equipment, carefully route patient cables and connections
to reduce the possibility of entanglement or strangulation.
Use the Model 7600 Monitor only within its designated range (approximately
100 meters (300 feet) spherical radius from 7600 monitor to remote
location). Moving outside this range may cause missing or lost data at the
remote monitoring location.
Memory is cleared if error code E06 appears on the display screen.
This device turns off after approximately 30 minutes when in low battery
condition.

The value of data from the system has not been demonstrated in specific
disease states.
When using this device in an operating room, it must remain outside the
sterile field.
This equipment complies with IEC 60601-1-2 for electromagnetic
compatibility (EMC) for medical electrical equipment and/or systems. This
standard is designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful
interference in a typical medical installation. However, because of the
proliferation of radio-frequency transmitting equipment and other sources of
electrical noise in healthcare and other environments, it is possible that high
levels of such interference due to close proximity or strength of a source
might disrupt the performance of this device. Medical electrical equipment
needs special precautions regarding EMC, and all equipment must be
installed and put into service according to the EMC information specified in
this manual.

Indications for Use
Exposure to Radio Frequency Radiation. The radiated output power of the
display device is far below FCC radio frequency exposure limits.
Nevertheless, the device must be used in such a way that the potential for
human contact during normal operation is minimized. To avoid the possibility
of exceeding FCC radio frequency exposure limits, remain at least 20 cm
(8 in.) away from the display unit’s internal antenna during normal operation.
The monitor has been tested and meets allowed limits for exposure.
Portable and mobile RF communications equipment can affect medical
electrical equipment.
Radios and cell phones or similar devices can affect the equipment and must
be kept at least 2 meters (6.5 feet) away from the equipment.
Readings of this device may be affected by the use of an electrosurgical unit
(ESU). Keep electrosurgical/electrocautery instruments away from the
sensors and oximetry pod, as they may cause damage or result in erroneous
readings.
This device is designed to determine regional hemoglobin oxygen saturation
of blood underneath the sensor. Factors that may degrade performance or
affect the accuracy of the measurement include the following:
- excessive ambient light or direct sunlight
- excessive motion
- electrosurgical interference
- metal plate or other foreign object in sensor path
- moisture on the skin
- improperly applied sensor
- incorrect sensor type
- anemia or low hemoglobin concentrations
- cardiogreen and other intravascular dyes
- methemoglobin and other dyshemoglobins
- hemoglobinopathies
- performance has not been verified in the presence of elevated
carboxyhemoglobin or bilirubin
- non-normocapnic conditions or other conditions that affect blood
volume
Batteries are a fire hazard if damaged. Do not damage, mishandle, or
disassemble.
Inspect the sensor application sites at least every 2 to 4 hours to ensure
correct sensor alignment and skin integrity. Patient sensitivity to the sensor’s
adhesive may vary due to medical status or skin condition.
Do not autoclave, sterilize, or immerse this device in liquid or use caustic or
abrasive cleaning agents. Do not use cleaning agents or cleaning products
that contain ammonium chloride.
