Manual Overview
This manual contains information for servicing the Nellcor
®
model N-560
pulse oximeter. Only qualified service personnel should service this product.
Before servicing the N-560, read the operator's manual carefully for a
thorough understanding of operation.
WARNING: Explosion hazard. Do not use the N-560 pulse oximeter in
the presence of flammable anesthetics.
Description of N-560 Pulse Oximeter
The N-560 Pulse Oximeter is indicated for the continuous noninvasive
monitoring of functional oxygen saturation of arterial hemoglobin (SpO
2 ) and
pulse rate. The N-560 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 subacute centers.
Intra-hospital transport includes transport of a patient within the
hospital or hospital-type facility.
Use with any particularpatient requires the selection of an appropriate oxygen
transducer as described in the N-560 Operator's Manual.
Digital displays are provided for oxygen saturation and pulse rate, and a
10-segment light-emitting diode (LED) bar indicates pulse amplitude. The
controls and indicators for the N-560 are illustrated and defined in Figure 1
and Figure 2 on page 3.

To perform test and troubleshooting procedures and to understand the
principles of operation and circuit analysis sections of this manual, you must
know how to operate the N-560. Refer to the N-560 operator's manual. To
understand the various Nellcor sensors that work with the N-560, refer to the
individual sensor's directions for use.

N-560 Service Manual 5
Routine Maintenance
Cleaning
CAUTION: Do not spray, pour, or spill any liquid on the N-560, its
accessories, connectors, switches, or openings in the chassis.
For surface-cleaning and disinfecting follow your institution's procedures or:
• The N-560 may be surface-cleaned by using a soft cloth dampened
with either a commercial, nonabrasive cleaner or a solution of 70%
alcohol in water, and lightly wiping the surfaces of the N-560.
• The N-560 may be disinfected using a soft cloth saturated with a 10%
solution of chlorine bleach in tap water.
Before attempting to clean an SpO
2 sensor, read the directions for use
enclosed with the sensor. Each sensor model has cleaning instructions specific
to that sensor.
Periodic Safety Checks
The N-560 requires no routine service or calibration other than changing the
battery at least every two years. See Battery Removal on page 66. The
following checks should be performed at least every two years by a qualified
service technician.
1. Inspect the equipment for mechanical and functional damage.
2. Inspect safety labels for legibility. If the labels are damaged, contact
Nellcor’s Technical Services Department, 1.800.635.5267, or your local
Nellcor representative.
Functional Checks
1. If the N-560 has been visibly damaged or subjected to mechanical shock
(for example, if dropped), perform the performance tests. See
Performance Tests on page 8.

Routine Maintenance
6
2. Perform the electrical safety tests detailed in Safety Tests on page 26. If
the N-560 fails these electrical safety tests, refer to Troubleshooting on
page 43.
3. Inspect the fuses for proper value and rating (F1 and F2 = 2 amp,
250 volts).
Battery
Nellcor recommends replacing the N-560's battery every two years. When the
N-560 is going to be stored for two months or more, remove the battery prior
to storage. To replace or remove the battery, refer to Disassembly Guide on
page 53.
If the N-560 has been stored for more than 30 days, charge the battery as
described in Battery Charge on page 8. A fully discharged battery requires
6 hours to receive a full charge. The battery is being charged whenever the
N-560 is plugged into an AC power source.

N-560 Service Manual 7
Performance Verification
Introduction
This section discusses the tests used to verify performance following repairs
or during routine maintenance. All tests can be performed without removing
the N-560 cover. All tests except the battery charge and battery performance
tests must be performed as the last operation before the N-560 is returned to
the user.
If the N-560 fails to perform as specified in any test, repairs must be made to
correct the problem before the N-560 is returned to the user.

Performance Tests
Note : This section is written using Nellcor factory-set defaults. If your
institution has preconfigured custom defaults, those values will be displayed.
Factory defaults can be restored. See Menu Item 10 (Restore Factory Default
Settings as Power-On Default) on page 38.
Battery Charge
Perform the following procedure to fully charge the battery.
1. Connect the N-560 to an AC power source.
2. Verify that the N-560 is off and that the
AC Power indicator is lit.
3. Charge the battery for at least 6 hours in standby.
Power-Up Performance
The power-up performance tests verify the following N-560 functions:
• Power-On Self-Test (POST) on page 9
• Power-On Defaults and Alarm Limit Ranges on page 11

CAUTION: If any indicator or display element does not light, or the
speaker does not sound, do not use the N-560. Instead, contact qualified
service personnel, your local Nellcor representative, or Nellcor's
Technical Services Department, 1.800.635.5267.
Note: The N-560 should complete the POST function within 12 seconds.
1. Turn on the N-560 by pressing the

3. The N-560 automatically starts the Power-On Self-Test (POST), which
tests N-560 circuitry and functions.
CAUTION: During POST (immediately after power-up), confirm that all
display segments and indicators light, and the speaker sounds a
one-second pass tone.
4. While performing POST, the self-test display appears for approximately
five seconds. During this time:
• All indicators illuminate
• All segments of all numeric digits light and change from red to green
• All segments of the Pulse Amplitude Display light
• All segments of the
SatSeconds indicator light
5. Once the display test portion of POST is complete, the N-560 version is
displayed for approximately two seconds.
