Instructions for Use
NoninConnect™ Pulse Oximeter with Bluetooth
®
Smart Technology
Installing AAA Batteries
WARNING: Before changing batteries, make sure the
NoninConnect is off and is not applied to a finger.
1. Hold the NoninConnect so you see the
back of the product and the arrows on the
battery door point away from you.
2. Place your thumbs on the ovals.
3. Slide the battery door away from you and off the NoninConnect.
4. If applicable, remove the old batteries from the
NoninConnect. Properly dispose of the batteries.
5. Insert two new 1.5 volt AAA-size batteries. Carefully match
the polarity markings (+ and -). The NoninConnect will not
work if the batteries are inserted the wrong way.
6. Carefully slide the battery door back onto the NoninConnect.
Turning On the NoninConnect
1. Insert a finger into the NoninConnect until it touches
the built-in stop.
NOTE: Make sure the finger is lying flat (not on its side)
and is centered within the NoninConnect. For best results,
keep the NoninConnect at heart or chest level.
2. If the CorrectCheck screen (see Display Symbols table)
displays, slide finger further into the NoninConnect.
Correct positioning of the finger is critical for accurate
measurements.
3. The NoninConnect begins sensing the pulse and
displaying readings.
4. View about 4 seconds of readings before relying on the
displayed values. It is common for the displayed values to
vary slightly over a period of several seconds.
NOTE: While on the finger, do not press the
NoninConnect against any surface and do not squeeze or
hold it together. The internal spring provides the correct
pressure; additional pressure may cause inaccurate
readings.
The NoninConnect Finger Pulse Oximeter measures and displays
blood oxygen saturation (%SpO
2
) and pulse rate. It is used for
spot-checking on fingers that are between 0.8 – 2.5 cm (0.3 – 1.0
inch) thick.
The NoninConnect is intended for sports fitness enthusiasts
interested in managing intensity level while exercising or training. It
may also be used by pilots to check for the onset of in-flight
hyperpoxia during air travel, by mountain climbers or during other
activities at elevation.
The NoninConnect is not a medical device and therefore does not
require a prescription from a doctor.
Warnings
Do not use the NoninConnect in an MR environment, in an
explosive atmosphere, or on neonates.
• The NoninConnect must be able to measure the pulse properly to
obtain an accurate SpO
2
measurement. Verify that nothing is
hindering the pulse measurement before relying on the SpO
2
measurement.
• Keep the oximeter away from young children. Small items such as
the battery door and battery are choking hazards.
Cautions
• The NoninConnect has no audible alarms and is intended only for
spot-checking.
• Factors that may degrade performance or affect the accuracy of the
measurement include the followi
ng:
• The NoninConnect may not work when circulation is reduced.
Warm or rub the finger, or re-position the NoninConnect.
• The NoninConnect is designed to be applied only to a finger.
• The NoninConnect’s display will shut off after 30 seconds of no
readings or poor readings.
• Portable and mobile RF communications equipment including
electronic article security systems can affect this product.
• Batteries may leak or explode if used or disposed of improperly.
Remove batteries if the NoninConnect will be stored for more than
30 days. Do not use different types of batteries at the same time. Do
not mix fully charged and partially charged batteries at the same
time. These actions may cause the batteries to leak.
• Follow local governing ordinances and recycling instructions
regarding disposal or recycling of the NoninConnect and product
components, including batteries.

Turning Off the NoninConnect
The NoninConnect will automatically turn off approximately
10 seconds after the finger is removed, or after a 2-minute period
of poor signals.
Connection via Bluetooth Wireless Technology
When the NoninConnect is placed on the finger and turns on, it is
ready for a Bluetooth wireless connection. The NoninConnect stays
in this mode until it is shut off. The symbol is white when the
Bluetooth radio is on, green when the NoninConnect is connected,
and flashes white when there is a communication error.
