How to fix a Nonin PalmSAT 2500A VET that will not turn on?
If your Nonin Pet Care Product won't turn on, the batteries may be depleted or installed incorrectly, or there may be damage to the metal contact in the battery compartment. First, replace all 4 batteries. If that doesn't work, verify the correct battery orientations. If the issue still persists, contact Nonin Technical Service.
What to do if Pulse Quality indicator blinks red and the SpO and 2 pulse rate displays show dashes on Nonin Pet Care Product?
If the Pulse Quality indicator is blinking red and the SpO2 and pulse rate displays show dashes, it indicates an inadequate signal at the sensor site, excessive motion, or a sensor failure. Examine the animal and try repositioning the sensor or selecting an alternate sensor site. If the problem continues, replace the sensor.
Why can't I get a green blinking Pulse Quality indicator on my Nonin PalmSAT 2500A VET Pet Care Product?
If you're unable to obtain a green blinking Pulse Quality indicator, it could be due to low animal pulse strength, poor sensor site perfusion, incorrect sensor positioning, a sensor attached too tightly, restricted pulse quality at the sensor site, reduced circulation due to excess pressure, excessive ambient light, excessive animal motion, or interference from medical equipment. Try the following: * Reposition the sensor on the animal. * Reapply the sensor, select an alternate sensor site, or remove restrictive material. * Allow sensor and sensor site to rest comfortably on the surface. * Reduce ambient light and animal motion. * Reduce or eliminate any interference from medical equipment.
Why dashes appear in the middle digits for both the SpO and pulse rate displays on Nonin PalmSAT 2500A VET?
Dashes appearing in the middle digits for both the SpO2 and pulse rate displays indicate that no signal is being detected because the sensor is not plugged in or there is a sensor failure. Check sensor connections and, if needed, replace the sensor.
What to do if displayed pulse rate does not correlate to the pulse rate displayed on the ECG monitor on Nonin PalmSAT 2500A VET Pet Care Product?
If the displayed pulse rate does not correlate to the pulse rate displayed on the ECG monitor, it may be due to excessive motion at the sensor site, the animal having an arrhythmia, using a non-specified sensor, or the ECG monitor malfunctioning. Eliminate or reduce motion or reposition the sensor. Examine the animal for arrhythmia. Replace the sensor with a Nonin-branded sensor. Examine the animal, replace the ECG monitor, or refer to the ECG monitor operator's manual.
Why does a dash appear in the left digit of the SpO display on Nonin PalmSAT 2500A VET Pet Care Product?
A dash appearing in the left digit of the SpO display indicates a sensor fault. This may be because the sensor has become dislodged from the device or the animal. Verify the sensor is correctly connected to the device and the animal. If the condition persists, replace the sensor.
What does it mean when the Pulse Quality indicator blinks amber with each pulse on Nonin PalmSAT 2500A VET Pet Care Product?
If the Pulse Quality indicator blinks amber with each pulse, it means the quality of the pulse signal at the sensor site is marginal. Examine the animal and try repositioning the sensor or selecting an alternate sensor site.
Why is there an erratic pulse rate display and/or an amber Pulse Quality indicator during the concurrent use of electrosurgical equipment (ESU) with Nonin Pet Care Product?
An erratic pulse rate display and/or an amber Pulse Quality indicator during the concurrent use of electrosurgical equipment (ESU) suggests that the ESU may be interfering with the pulse oximeter performance. Examine the animal. Move the device, cables, and sensors as far away from the ESU as possible or refer to the ESU operator's manual.
What to do if Err E01, E02, E03, or E04 displays on Nonin Pet Care Product?
If you see Err E01, E02, E03, or E04 displayed, there is a system fault that must be corrected. Turn the device off and on. If the problem persists, contact Nonin Technical Service.
What does it mean if segments of the SpO or pulse rate displays are missing on Nonin PalmSAT 2500A VET Pet Care Product?
If segments of the SpO2 or pulse rate displays are missing, it indicates defective LED displays. The displayed values may not be reliable, so discontinue use of the device.
