Turning On the NoninConnect Model 3230

1. Insert a digit into the Model 3230 until it touches the built-in stop.
   NOTE: Make sure the finger is centered within the finger guide and flat (not on its side). For best results,
   keep the device at heart or chest level.

2. If the CorrectCheck screen (see Display Symbols table) displays, slide finger further into the device. Correct positioning of the finger is critical for accurate measurements.

3. The 3230 begins sensing the pulse and displaying readings.
   

4. View about 4 seconds of readings before relying on the displayed values. Continually verify operation. It is common for the displayed values to vary slightly over a period of several seconds. If the 9590 does not turn on or if it shuts off unexpectedly:
   • Verify batteries are correctly inserted.
   • The batteries are depleted. Replace batteries.
   If the problem persists, remove the batteries and contact Nonin Technical Service.

NOTE: While on the finger, do not press the device against any surface and do not squeeze or hold it together. The internal spring provides the correct pressure; additional pressure may cause inaccurate readings.

Indications for Use

The NoninConnect Model 3230 Finger Pulse Oximeter is a small, lightweight, portable device indicated for use in measuring and displaying functional oxygen saturation of arterial hemoglobin (%SpO2) and pulse rate of patients who are well or poorly perfused. It is intended for spot-checking of adult and pediatric patients with digits between 0.8 – 2.5 cm (0.3 – 1.0 inches) thick.

NOTE: Use Environment—Home healthcare environments under the supervision of qualified medical professionals. Users include current/potential users of pulse oximetry in the home and caregivers/potential caregivers of such a user.

Warnings

Do not use the device in an MR environment, in an explosive atmosphere, or on neonatal patients.

• This device is not defibrillation proof per IEC 60601-1.
• Use the Model 3230 within its designated range (approximately 10 m/32 ft, spherical radius, line of sight when connected to a Bluetooth Smart Ready device). Moving outside this range may cause missing, lost, and/or inaccurate data.
• Inspect the sensor application site at least every 4 hours to ensure correct sensor alignment and skin integrity. Patient sensitivity to sensors may vary due to medical status or skin condition.
• Avoid excessive pressure to the sensor application site as this may cause damage to the skin beneath the sensor.
• This device is intended only as an adjunct in patient assessment. It must be used in conjunction with other methods of assessing clinical signs and symptoms.
• The device must be able to measure the pulse properly to obtain an accurate SpO2 measurement. Verify that nothing is hindering the pulse measurement before relying on the SpO2 measurement.
• Operation of this device below the minimum amplitude of 0.3% modulation may cause inaccurate results.
• General operation of the device may be affected by the use of an electrosurgical unit (ESU).
• Keep the oximeter away from young children. Small items such as the battery door and battery are choking hazards.
