Indications for Use The LifeSense® Model LS1-9R Capnography/Pulse Oximeter monitor is indicated for use in simultaneously measuring and displaying functional oxygen saturation of arterial hemoglobin (SpO 2 ), end tidal carbon dioxide (EtCO 2 ), respiration, and pulse rate of well or poorly perfused adult, pediatric, and infant patients. It is intended for use in environments where patients require continuous, non-invasive monitoring of these parameters by a healthcare professional (e.g., hospitals, medical facilities, post-operative care, patient transport, or home use environments).

Contraindications Do not use LifeSense in an MR environment or in the presence of flammable anesthetics or gases. Do not use LifeSense during defibrillation.

Warnings LifeSense is intended only as an adjunct in patient assessment. It must be used in conjunction with other methods of assessing clinical signs and symptoms. LifeSense is not intended to be used as a primary diagnostic apnea monitor. Never allow liquids to enter into or to be spilled onto the monitor. If liquid has penetrated into the monitor it must be checked by Nonin Technical Service. Accessories marked “single-use” must be used on one patient only and be disposed of after usage. Use only Nonin-branded PureLight® pulse oximeter sensors. These sensors are manufactured to meet the accuracy specifications of Nonin pulse oximeters. Using other manufacturers’ sensors can result in improper pulse oximeter performance. Only use power supplies that either are supplied with LifeSense or specified by Nonin (see “Accessories”). When selecting a sensor application site use an extremity without a catheter, blood pressure cuff, or intravascular infusion line. Do not use a damaged sensor. Misuse or improper handling of the pulse oximeter sensor could damage the sensor or the cable, which may lead to inaccurate readings. Never alter or modify the sensor since this may affect the performance or accuracy. If the LifeSense fails to respond as described, discontinue use and contact Nonin Technical Service. Use only Nonin recommended accessories and replacement parts (see “Accessories”). LifeSense displays a BATT LOW message when it has approximately 20 minutes of use remaining before it shuts itself off. EtCO 2 value will be diluted when used in combination with supplemental oxygen. To get a true EtCO 2 reading it is recommended that the supplemental oxygen is disconnected for a few seconds. Oximeter readings may be affected by the use of an electrosurgical unit (ESU). This device should not be used adjacent to or stacked with other equipment. If adjacent or stacked use is necessary, the device should be observed carefully to verify normal operation.

1

Warnings (Continued) Prior to connecting LifeSense to the power supply and the power outlet, be sure to verify the voltage and frequency rating on the power supply are the same as the power outlet. If this is not the case, do not connect the monitor and power supply to the power outlet. Ensure that all alarm volumes are audible in all situations. Do not cover or obstruct any speaker openings. The use of accessories other than those specified in this manual may result in increased electromagnetic emission and/or decreased immunity of this device. As with all medical equipment, carefully route patient cables and connections to reduce the possibility of entanglement or strangulation.

Cautions LifeSense should only be operated by trained licensed practitioners. Secure LifeSense with mounting hardware if used in transport vehicles. Do not mount LifeSense directly above the patient. If the monitor is mounted, be sure to check that the adjustable mounting clamp is securely affixed. Always turn off the monitor prior to cleaning the monitor or changing the pulse oximeter sensor or moisture trap and/or filter. Portable and mobile RF communications equipment may interfere with medical electrical equipment. The sample line, moisture trap, and filter are single-use disposable components. Do not disassemble the plastic parts of the single-use disposable moisture trap. Dispose all components in accordance with your local, state or national regulations regarding waste management. Ear Clip and Reflectance SpO 2 sensors are not recommended for pediatric or infant/neonatal use. The accuracy of these sensors has not been established for pediatric or infant/neonatal use. This equipment complies with IEC 60601-1-2 for electromagnetic compatibility 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. Set or adjust alarm parameters one at a time. Do not cover or block speaker opening. This may significantly reduce the sound volume. Inspect the pulse oximeter sensor application site at least every 6 to 8 hours to ensure correct sensor alignment and skin integrity. Patient sensitivity to sensors and/or adhesive strips may vary due to medical status or skin condition. Before each use, it is the operator’s responsibility to verify that the alarm limits are appropriate for the patient being monitored. Always clean the Nonin PureLight reusable sensor after each patient use. Before cleaning, unplug it from the monitor.

Cautions (Continued) The patient’s nasal passage may dry out if continuous monitoring is required. Check patient on a regular basis for nasal comfort. If the EtCO 2 value is out of normal range (4.6 – 5.6 Vol%/KPa or 34 – 42 mmHG) an internal air leak is possible. Replace the single-use disposable moisture trap and repeat the calibration procedure. If the problem persists, contact Nonin Technical Service. If LifeSense is intended to be stored for longer periods of time, always charge the battery to full capacity before storing it in order to prevent damage to the equipment. Avoid rapid temperature change or extreme temperatures. This can cause malfunction. Never store or transport LifeSense where condensation can occur. However, if this has occurred, wait until all condensation has evaporated before using LifeSense. Do not attempt to replace the battery inside the monitor. The battery is hardwired to the circuit board and cannot be replaced by the operator. Contact Nonin Technical Service when the battery needs replacing. The sample line, moisture trap, and filter are single-use disposable components. Dispose all components in accordance with your local, state, or national regulations regarding waste management. Do not sterilize or autoclave the monitor or sensors. Do not immerse in liquids. Do not disassemble the plastic parts of the single-use disposable moisture trap. Never open the monitor housing/case. By opening the case you render your warranty invalid. The oximeter sensor might not work on cold extremities due to reduced circulation. Warm or rub the finger to increase circulation, or reposition the sensor. In compliance with the European Directive on Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment (WEEE) 2002/96/EC, do not dispose of this product as unsorted municipal waste. This device contains WEEE materials; please contact your distributor regarding take-back or recycling of the device. If you are unsure how to reach your distributor, please call Nonin for your distributor’s contact information. This device is designed to determine the percentage of arterial oxygen saturation of functional hemoglobin. Factors that may degrade pulse oximeter performance or affect the accuracy of the measurement include the following: • excessive ambient light • excessive motion • electrosurgical interference • blood flow restrictors (arterial catheters, blood pressure cuffs, infusion lines, etc.) • moisture in the sensor • improperly applied sensor • incorrect sensor type • inadequate signal • venous pulsations • anemia or low hemoglobin concentrations • cardiogreen and other intravascular dyes • carboxyhemoglobin • methemoglobin • dysfunctional hemoglobin • artificial nails or fingernail polish

3

Cautions (Continued) Each time the system is turned on, all audible alarms are disabled for 2 minutes unless the operator presses the Audible Alarm Pause/Resume button. Capnography alarms are not active until the first breath is detected. Oximetry alarms are not active until the first pulse is detected. A functional tester cannot be used to assess the accuracy of a pulse oximeter module or sensor. Be careful not to drop LifeSense on the floor or strike it against hard surfaces. If such an incident happens, do not use LifeSense until a functional test has been carried out.

Introduction About LifeSense LifeSense allows healthcare professionals to non-invasively monitor pulse oximetry and capnometry on either intubated or spontaneously breathing patients. This very useful combination serves as a reliable indication of the patient’s respiratory and ventilation status. When measuring EtCO 2 , the patient is attached to the monitor by a sample line that can be an airway adapter for an endotracheal tube, a nasal cannula, or a nasal cannula with supplemental oxygen delivery. A variety of sample lines can be used and connected to a specially designed moisture trap, which is easily snapped into the slot on the left side of the monitor. Pulse rate and SpO 2 are measured by a Nonin-branded PureLight® finger clip sensor, provided with the system. Use only those accessories and replacement parts recommended by Nonin. Refer to the “Accessories” section for more information. LifeSense has visual and audible alarms when limit readings are outside the predefined limits. Limits can easily be adjusted using the touch panel display. The operator can pause or resume the alarm by pressing the Audible Alarm Pause/Resume button. LifeSense has a touch panel display where settings and adjustments are made. The touch panel display also shows battery status and fault messages. The only buttons on the monitor, ON/OFF and Audible Alarm Pause/Resume, are located on the upper right corner of the front panel. Next to these buttons there is a small indicator that turns green when the monitor is connected to a power outlet. LifeSense operates on battery power for approximately 8 hours.

About Capnometry The monitor uses sidestream non-dispersive infrared (NDIR) spectroscopy to continuously measure the amount of carbon dioxide (CO 2 ) during every breath, the amount of CO 2 present at the end of exhalation (EtCO 2 ), and respiratory rate (RR). Capnometry has been proven to be a reliable method for detecting esophageal intubation, hypoventilation, and disengagement of the endotracheal tube during mechanical ventilation. CAUTION: When using sample lines that also deliver oxygen to the patient, it is important to be aware that the EtCO 2 value will be diluted when used in combination with supplemental oxygen. To obtain a true EtCO 2 reading, it is recommended that the supplemental oxygen be disconnected for a few seconds.

About Pulse Oximetry Pulse oximetry is a non-invasive method that passes red and infrared light through perfused tissue and detects the fluctuating signals caused by arterial pulses. Well-oxygenated blood is bright red, while poorly oxygenated blood is dark red. The pulse oximeter determines functional oxygen saturation of arterial hemoglobin (SpO 2 ) from this color difference by measuring the ratio of absorbed red and infrared light as the volume fluctuates with each pulse.

Operator Requirements The LifeSense monitor is easy to operate. Each operator should read this manual before using the monitor. LifeSense should only be operated by licensed practitioners.
