4. Connect the patient cable to the SpO
2
connector at
the back of the M Series unit (see Figure 1).

5. Turn the selector switch to MONITOR mode (ON for
AED units). Verify that the sensor's red LED is on.
The oximeter is now fully operational.
A dashed line is displayed in the SpO2 field until a
pulse is detected. Once the measurement has been
established, the saturation values will be displayed in
the numeric field (e.g., 98).
6. Ensure that appropriate numeric oxygen saturation
values are being displayed, and that the signal
strength bar indicates the presence of a strong signal
associated with each heartbeat.
7. Adjust the alarm limits and enable SpO2 alarms if
desired.
Note: If ECG Leads are not attached, the patient's pulse
rate as measured by the SpO
2
sensor will be
displayed as the Heart Rate (HR) in the ECG field
and the heart symbol will not flash.
If the unit displays a "SpO2 FAULT XX" message shortly
after power-up, the SpO
2
monitoring subsystem of the
unit has failed. Contact the ZOLL Technical Service
Department.
Selecting a Sensor and Patient Cable
When selecting a sensor, consider the patient's weight,
the adequacy of perfusion, the available sensor sites,
and the anticipated duration of monitoring. For more
information refer to the following table or contact ZOLL
Medical Corporation.
Use only ZOLL/Masimo sensors and patient cables.
Select an appropriate sensor, apply it as directed, and
observe all warnings and cautions presented in the
Directions for Use accompanying the sensor.
ZOLL offers two reusable patient cables designed to
work exclusively with LNCS sensors and with the
M Series pulse oximeter:
• LNC-04 (4’ cable),
• LNC-10 (10’ foot cable)
Selecting a Sensor Application Site
Choose a site that is well perfused and will restrict a
conscious patient's movements the least. The ring finger
or middle finger of the non-dominate hand is preferred.
Alternatively, the other digits on the non-dominate hand
may be used. Be sure the sensor's detector is fully
covered by flesh. The great toe or long toe (next to the
great toe) may be used on restrained patients or patients
whose hands are unavailable.
High ambient light sources such as surgical lights
(especially those with a xenon light source), bilirubin
lamps, fluorescent lights, infrared heating lamps, and
direct sunlight can interfere with the performance of an
SpO
2
sensor. To prevent interference from ambient light,
ensure that the sensor is properly applied, and cover the
sensor site with opaque material, if required. Failure to
take this precaution in high ambient light conditions may
result in inaccurate measurements.
Applying a Reusable Sensor
Note: The reusable sensor is not intended for use on
the thumb or across a child's hand or foot.
1. Place the selected digit over the sensor window of the
reusable sensor. The fleshiest part of the digit should
cover the detector window in the lower half of the
sensor (see Figure 2).
Figure 2
The hinged tabs of the sensor should open to evenly
distribute the grip of the sensor along the length of
the finger.
2. On finger sites, the tip of the finger should touch the
raised digit stop inside the sensor. If the fingernail is
