Indications for Use
The LifeSense Vet is a pulse oximeter and carbon dioxide monitor that measures and displays
carbon dioxide in expired air (EtCO2), fractional inspired carbon dioxide (FiCO2), respiration,
functional oxygen saturation of arterial hemoglobin (SpO2), and pulse rate of intubated animals. It
is intended for continuous, non-invasive monitoring of these parameters where the need for an
early warning system is required. These functions may be used separately or simultaneously.
Contraindications
Do not use LifeSense Vet in an MR environment or in the presence of flammable anesthetics or gases.
Do not use LifeSense Vet during defibrillation.
Warnings
LifeSense Vet is intended for VETERINARY USE ONLY. It must be used in conjunction with other methods of
assessing clinical signs and symptoms.
Never allow liquids to enter into or to be spilled onto the monitor. If liquid has penetrated into the monitor it must
be checked by Nonin Technical Service.
The use of accessories, sensors, and cables other than those specified in this manual may result in increased
emission and/or decreased immunity of this device (see “Accessories”).
Only use power supplies that are either supplied with LifeSense Vet or specified by Nonin (see “Accessories”).
Prior to connecting LifeSense Vet to the power supply and the power outlet, be sure to verify the voltage and
frequency rating on the power supply are compatible with the outlet. If this is not the case, do not connect the
monitor and power supply to the outlet.
If the LifeSense Vet fails to respond as described, discontinue use and contact Nonin Technical Service.
Use only Nonin-branded PureLight®veterinary pulse oximeter sensors. These sensors are manufactured to
meet the accuracy specifications of Nonin pulse oximeters. Using other manufacturer’s sensors can result in
improper pulse oximeter performance.
Inadequate perfusion, thick fur, improperly applied sensor, or foreign matter that blocks light can result in
inconsistent or inaccurate oxygen saturation and/or pulse rate measurement. Clean and reposition the sensor. If
proper operation cannot be verified, remove the sensor from the animal and DO NOT use the pulse oximeter.
Do not use a damaged sensor.
Misuse or improper handling of the pulse oximeter sensor could damage the sensor or the cable, which may lead
to inaccurate readings. Never alter or modify the sensor since this also may affect the performance or accuracy.
When selecting a sensor application site, use an extremity without a catheter, blood pressure cuff, or
intravascular infusion line.
Blocking the gas outlet at the back of the monitor may result in inaccurate readings. This outlet is intended for
use with anesthetic scavenging systems.
The LifeSense Vet T-connector will increase dead space by approximately 6 cubic centimeters. This may
adversely affect ventilation for animals with small tidal volumes. Do not use LifeSense Vet monitor on small
animals if this dead space will compromise ventilation.
This device should not be used adjacent to or stacked with other equipment. If adjacent or stacked use is
necessary, the device should be observed carefully to verify normal operation

2
LifeSense Vet displays a BATT LOW message when it has approximately 15 minutes of use remaining before it
shuts itself off.

Warnings (Continued)

3
The animal’s nasal passage may dry out if continued monitoring is required. Check animal on a regular basis for
nasal comfort.
When using sample lines that also deliver oxygen to the animal, it is important to be aware that the EtCO2value
may be diluted when used in combination with supplemental oxygen. To get a true EtCO2reading, disconnect the
supplemental oxygen for a few seconds.
EtCO2values may be affected by altitude and anesthetic agents. See “Technical Information” section for device
specifications.
If the EtCO2value is out of normal range (33 – 43 mmHg or 4.4 – 5.7 kPa) and no airway or circuit air leak has
been detected, an internal air leak is possible. Replace the moisture trap and perform the zero point calibration
procedure. If the problem persists contact Nonin Technical Service and discontinue use of the LifeSense Vet
monitor.
CO2detector readings may be elevated by approximately 25% when used in the presence of 65% nitrous oxide
gas (N2O). Lower concentrations of N2O have a smaller effect.
The filter, moisture trap, T-connector, tubing, and cannula are single-use, disposable components. Replace after
each use.
The sample line is a single-use, disposable component. Use a new sample line for each animal. Dispose the
sample line in accordance with your local, state, or national regulations regarding waste management.
Ensure that all connections to the T-connector are tight and leak-free, and that the T-connector is properly
attached to the sampling tube.
Gastric distention with air prior to intubation may introduce CO2into the stomach and esophagus and yield false
results. Observe six breaths before interpreting results.
If the device has been stored in cold temperatures, allow sufficient time for LifeSense Vet to adapt to normal
room temperature before using it.
Never store or transport LifeSense Vet where condensation can occur. However, if this has occurred, wait until all
condensation has evaporated before using LifeSense Vet.
Do not attempt to replace the battery inside the monitor. The battery is not field replaceable and cannot be
replaced by the operator. Use only Nonin-specified components. Contact Nonin Technical Service when the
battery needs replacing. Battery replacement by inadequately trained personnel could result in a hazardous
situation.
Do not charge Li-Ion batteries at a temperature of 0 °C (32 °F) or less as this may result in significantly reduced
battery life.
If LifeSense Vet is intended to be stored for longer periods of time, always charge the battery to full capacity
before storing it in order to prevent damage to the equipment.
Never open the monitor housing/case. By opening the case you will invalidate the warranty.
The LifeSense Vet pulse oximeter must be able to measure the pulse properly to obtain an accurate SpO2
measurement. Verify that nothing is hindering the pulse measurement before relying on the SpO2measurement.
If the pulse quality or pulse rate displays are inadequate, examine the animal for any signs of distress and then
reexamine sensor placement.
The LifeSense Vet pulse oximeter may not work on all animals. If you are unable to achieve stable readings,
discontinue use.
The LifeSense Vet pulse oximeter may misinterpret motion artifact of sufficient amplitude and regularity as good
pulse quality.
Cautions (Continued)

Certain pharmacologic agents used to sedate or anesthetize animals may have cardiovascular effects that can
adversely affect the performance of the pulse oximeter by reducing the perfusion to the sensor site. Examples of
commonly used agents that may have this type of effect on certain animal species are Detomidine HCl and
Xylazine HCl.
There is a wide range of variability between animal species and their respective differences in anatomy,
physiology, and responses to veterinary pharmacological agents. Therefore, the qualified veterinary professional
will need to use discretion when selecting sensors and/or sensor sites that are appropriate for the animal species
and the monitoring conditions.
When attaching the pulse oximeter sensor, make sure to secure the sensor in a manner that will not restrict
perfusion. An improperly applied sensor could inhibit proper function of the pulse oximeter and cause discomfort
or localized ischemia to the animal.
The oximeter sensor might not work on cold extremities due to reduced circulation. Warm the sensor site to
increase circulation, or reposition the sensor.
Inspect the pulse oximeter sensor application site periodically to ensure correct sensor alignment and skin
integrity.
This device is designed to determine the percentage of arterial oxygen saturation of functional hemoglobin.
Factors that may degrade pulse oximeter performance or affect the accuracy of the measurement include the
following:
All parts and accessories connected to the serial port of this device must be certified according to at least IEC
Standard EN 60950 or UL 1950 for data-processing equipment.
The monitor is equipped with automatic barometric pressure compensation. End tidal pCO2values displayed are
calculated based on an atmospheric pressure of 760 mmHg and pH2O of 47 mmHg (example: 760 – 47 = 713,
713 x 5% = 36 mmHg).
Water or other liquid in the sampling tube may cause erroneous CO2readings.
Ensure that all connections are tight, leak-free, and properly attached.
Radios and cell phones or similar devices may affect the LifeSense Vet and should be kept at least 2.5 meters
(8 feet) away from the device. Field strengths from fixed transmitters, such as base stations for radio (cellular/
cordless) telephones and land mobile radios, amateur radio, AM and FM radio broadcast towers and TV
broadcast towers may affect accuracy.
Cautions (Continued)
- excessive ambient light
- excessive motion
- electrosurgical interference
- blood flow restrictors (arterial catheters, blood
pressure cuffs, infusion lines, etc.)
- moisture in the sensor
- improperly applied sensor
- incorrect sensor type
- inadequate signal
- venous pulsations
- anemia or low hemoglobin concentrations
- cardiogreen and other intravascular dyes

Introduction
About LifeSense Vet
LifeSense Vet allows veterinarians to non-invasively monitor pulse oximetry and capnography on
intubated animals. This very useful combination serves as a reliable indication of the animal’s
respiratory status. The CO2detector may be used to initially confirm proper placement of the
endotracheal tube and to provide continued confirmation of correct endotracheal tube placement
and animal respiration status.
When measuring EtCO
2
, the animal is attached to the monitor by a sample line connected to an
airway adapter attached to the endotracheal tube. Pulse rate and SpO
2
are measured by a Nonin-
branded PureLight veterinary sensor, provided with the system. Use only those accessories and
replacement parts recommended by Nonin. Refer to the “Accessories” section for more information.
LifeSense Vet has visual and audible alarms when readings are outside the predefined limits.
Limits can easily be adjusted using the touch panel display. The operator can pause or resume
the alarm by pressing the Audible Alarm Pause/Resume button.
LifeSense Vet has a touch panel display where settings and adjustments are made. The touch
panel display also shows battery status and fault messages. The only buttons on the monitor, ON/
OFF and Audible Alarm Pause/Resume, are located on the upper right corner of the front panel.
Next to these buttons there is a small indicator that turns green when the monitor is connected to
the power outlet.
LifeSense Vet operates on battery power for approximately 8 hours.
About Capnography
The monitor uses sidestream non-dispersive infrared (NDIR) spectroscopy to continuously
measure the amount of carbon dioxide (CO2) during every breath, the amount of CO2present at
the end of exhalation (EtCO2), and respiratory rate (RR). Capnography has been proven to be a
reliable method for detecting esophageal intubation, hypoventilation, hyperventilation, and
disengagement of the endotracheal tube during mechanical ventilation.
About Pulse Oximetry
Pulse Oximetry is a non-invasive method that passes red and infrared light through perfused tissue
and detects the fluctuating signals caused by arterial pulses. Well-oxygenated blood is bright red,
while poorly oxygenated blood is dark red. The pulse oximeter determines functional oxygen
saturation of arterial hemoglobin (SpO
2
) from this color difference by measuring the ratio of absorbed
red and infrared light as the volume fluctuates with each pulse.
CAUTION: When using sample lines that also deliver oxygen to the animal, it is
important to be aware that the EtCO
2
value may be diluted when used in combination
with supplemental oxygen. To get a true EtCO
2
reading, disconnect the supplemental
oxygen for a few seconds.
