Safety Information
Warnings
Warnings are identified by the WARNING symbol shown above. Warnings alert the user to potential serious outcomes (death, injury, or adverse events) to the patient or user. WARNING: The sensor extrapolates from the date and time provided by the N-600 when recording the sensor event record to the sensor. The accuracy of the date/time is the responsibility of the N-600. It is recommended that the N-600 user set the time/ date to the correct value before a sensor event record-enabled sensor is connected, and that this date/time not be changed while the sensor remains connected. Since a sensor with sensor event record data can be transported from one monitor to another, having discrepancies in the date/time between monitors and the sensor event record data will affect the order the sensor event record data appears. To eliminate this possible problem, all monitors within an institution should be set to the same time.
WARNING: Explosion hazard. Do not use the N-600 pulse oximeter in the presence of flammable anesthetics or gases.
WARNING: Chemicals from a broken LCD display panel are toxic when ingested. Use caution when handling a pulse oximeter with a broken display panel.

Safety Information
WARNING: Pulse oximetry readings and pulse signals can be affected by certain environmental conditions, OxiMax sensor application errors, and certain patient conditions. See the appropriate sections of this manual for specific safety information.
WARNING: The use of accessories, sensors, and cables other than those specified may result in increased emission and/or decreased immunity and inaccurate readings of the N-600 pulse oximeter.
WARNING: Failure to cover the OxiMax sensor site with opaque material in high ambient light conditions may result in inaccurate measurements.
Cautions
Cautions are identified by the CAUTION symbol shown above. Cautions alert the user to exercise care necessary for the safe and effective use of the N-600 pulse oximeter.

Safety Information
Caution: When connecting the N-600 to any instrument, verify proper operation before clinical use. Both the N-600 and the instrument connected to it must be connected to a grounded outlet. Accessory equipment connected to the pulse oximeter’s data interface must be certified according to IEC Standard 950 for data-processing equipment or IEC Standard 60601-1 for electromedical equipment. All combinations of equipment must be in compliance with IEC Standard 60601-1-1 systems requirements. Anyone who connects additional equipment to the signal input port or signal output port (N-600 data port connector) configures a medical system and is therefore responsible for ensuring that the system complies with the requirements of system standard IEC Standard 60601-1-1 and the electromagnetic compatibility system standard IEC Standard 60601-1-2. The N-600 accuracy may degrade if it is connected to secondary I/O devices when the instrument is not connected to earth reference. Caution: Federal law (U.S.A.) restricts this device to sale by or on the order of a physician. Caution: Dispose of battery in accordance with local requirements and regulations.

Introduction
WARNING: The N-600 is intended only as an adjunct in patient assessment. It must be used in conjunction with clinical signs and symptoms.
Intended Use for the N-600 The OxiMax® N-600 pulse oximeter is indicated for the continuous non-invasive monitoring of functional oxygen saturation of arterial hemoglobin (SpO2) and pulse rate. The N-600 is intended for use with neonatal, pediatric, and adult patients who are well or poorly perfused, in hospitals, hospital-type facilities, intra-hospital transport, and home environments. For prescription use only. Note: Hospital use typically covers such areas as general care floors, operating rooms, special procedure areas, intensive and critical care areas, within the hospital plus hospital-type facilities. Hospital-type facilities include physician office based facilities, sleep labs, skilled nursing facilities, surgicenters, and sub-acute centers. Intra-hospital transport includes transport of a patient within the hospital or hospital-type facility. Home Care use is defined as managed/used by a lay person (parent or other similar non-critical caregiver) in the home environment. Use with any particular patient requires the selection of an appropriate oxygen OxiMax sensors as described in this manual.

Description of Controls
Note: A button press, except the On/Standby button, should result in either a valid or an invalid key tone (refer to Table 1 on page 14). If the key pressed fails to emit a tone, contact qualified service personnel. The On/Standby button. Used to turn the N-600 on or off.

Description of Controls, Indicators, and Symbols
The Alarm Silence button. Used to silence current alarms for the alarm silence duration period. When an alarm has been silenced, pressing the button again reactivates, or “unsilences” the alarm. It is also used to view and adjust alarm silence duration and alarm volume. The Alarm Silence button clears “SENSOR OFF,” “LOW BATTERY,” and “SENSOR DISCONNECT” messages from the display. The Adjust Up button. Used to increase variable parameters of the N-600. The Adjust Down button. Used to decrease variable parameters in the N-600. The Contrast button. Used in conjunction with the Adjust Up and Adjust Down buttons to lighten or darken the display screen. The softkey buttons have multiple uses depending on the legend displayed above the button.
Description of Displays and Indicators The type of display is user selectable. Refer to Selecting the Pleth View on page 40.

Description of Controls, Indicators, and Symbols
The pleth display includes a “wiper bar” plethysmographic waveform, menu bar, and current measured %SpO2 and pulse rate. If SatSeconds are enabled, the pleth display includes the SatSeconds Indicator and SatSeconds setting. A decimal point after the %SpO2 or pulse rate indicate that the respective limits have been changed from the power on defaults (N-600 Trend Data on page 59).
The blip display includes a pulse amplitude blip bar, current measured %SpO2 and pulse rate, and current upper and lower %SpO2 and pulse rate limits. If SatSeconds are enabled, the blip display includes the SatSeconds Indicator and SatSeconds setting. Decimal points after the %SpO2 or pulse rate indicate that the respective limits have been changed from the power-on defaults. There are various matrices within the N-600 algorithm. Some of these, are used to assess the severity of conditions presented to the N-600 in measuring SpO2 and pulse rate on a patient. These individual matrices or combinations of these matrices are used to drive the LED indicators on the N-600 front panel. The advanced signal processing in the N-600 algorithm automatically extends the amount of data required for measuring SpO2 and pulse rate depending on the measurement conditions. During normal measurement conditions the averaging time is six seconds to seven seconds (approximately three seconds in Fast Mode). During conditions such as those caused by low perfusion, interference (e.g., external interference like ambient light), or a combination of the two, the N-600 algorithm automatically extends the amount of data required beyond the minimum as set by the response mode. See Setting the N-600 Response Mode on page 53. If the resulting dynamic averaging time exceeds 20 seconds, the Pulse Search indicator is lit solid and SpO2 and Pulse Rate will continue to be
