THIS GUIDE IS FOR REFERENCE ONLY. Refer to the Operator’s Manual for complete
information, warnings, cautions and specifications for the product you are using.
Use ONLY with compatible Nonin-branded pulse oximeter sensors.
P/N 9473-001-01
DEFAULT ALARM LIMITS and TIME/DATE
Default Alarm Limits are preset on the Avant 9600 oximeter, which may be
adjusted prior to use. Default limits are:
High SpO2– Off High Pulse Rate – 200 BPM
Low SpO2– 85% Low Pulse Rate – 50 BPM
Caution: Always verify alarm settings when turning on the unit.
To set Time, Date and Alarm Limits in standard mode, turn the oximeter on
and follow these steps:
Press the Limits Button.
Use the + and – buttons to move the value up or down.
Press Limits again to set the value and move to the next setting.
You can also use the Limits button to review current settings by pressing
through each value. You will then see and reset that value with each press.
Patient Security Mode locks Limits, Time, Date and other values. See the
Operator’s Manual for instructions on Setting and Releasing Patient Security
Mode if in use.
Avant®9600 SpO2 Pulse Oximeter
1. Select the proper size Nonin-branded sensor. Place sensor on patient
prior to connecting to the oximeter.
2. Connect Avant 9600 oximeter to wall power, or check battery level
prior to use. Recharge if required. Oximeter runs at least 12 hours on a
full battery.
3. Insert the sensor connector into the
sensor port on left side of the oximeter.
4. Turn the oximeter on with the On/Off
button. The oximeter will go
through a self-check, then begin displaying
oxygen saturation (SpO2) and pulse rate.
Do not use oximeter if any display
segments are missing, or displays do
not appear as expected. Refer to the
Operator’s Manual for instructions.
Alarms are disabled for two minutes
to allow time for sensor placement
and adjustment.

5. Pulse Signal Strength is displayed in
the center of the screen. A marginal
pulse strength will be seen as 3-4 amber
bars. Inadequate signal will display as
1-2 red bars and a Low Pulse Signal
alarm will occur. Green bars denote a
good signal.
A Pulse Quality Symbol will blink when poor signal is detected,
and remain lit if poor signal occurs for an extended time.
A Sensor Alarm Symbol may appear if the sensor becomes
disconnected, fails, is incompatible with the oximeter or is not
placed properly.
For any of these conditions, check sensor position on the patient, blood
flow at the sensor site, warm finger (digit) if necessary, and connection of
the sensor to the oximeter. If the situation is not corrected, try a different
compatible Nonin-branded sensor.
6. Power Supply is indicated in the lower right by a “plug”
symbol for wall power, or a battery level symbol if operating
on battery only.
The battery symbol will blink when battery level is low, and stay on when
critically low. Recharge as soon as possible. The battery will charge on
wall power while the oximeter is in use or turned off.
7. Discontinue Use by turning the oximeter off with the On/Off button.
Then disconnect the sensor plug, and remove the sensor from the patient.
If operating on battery power, plug the oximeter power supply into a wall
outlet to recharge batteries while not being used. Full re-charge takes
approximately 4 hours for a fully depleted battery.
DATA STORAGE
The Avant 9600 Oximeter will record 115 hours of SpO2and pulse rate data.
The memory will then overwrite, providing the most current 115 hours of
continuous data. Data can be transferred to Nonin nVISION®Software for
storage and analysis. Analog SpO2and pulse rate signal can also be sent to
other devices. See the Operator’s Manual for details on data handling.
ALARMS
A. HIGH PRIORITY Alarms – If alarms are enabled, the upper and lower
SpO2and pulse rate limits will appear on the screen during start-up, and
an audible and visual alarm will occur if they go out of the limits. A low
perfusion condition may generate a High Priority Alarm.
B. MEDIUM PRIORITY Alarms – This alarm is for conditions like a low
battery, reduced pulse signal strength and other oximeter conditions.
