Instructions on how to use the Nellcor N-560 sleep study monitor.
Plug the monitor into a socket, as near to the machine as possible
and preferably on ground level.
To turn the machine on.
Press and hold the button for three seconds.
Remove the probe from the packaging.
And attach blue to blue. Like so.
It will only go in one way.
Once attached. Put the plastic cover down.
The probe can then be attached to the big toe nail.
Once the probe is attached to the monitor, you will see two sensors.
One that lights up and one that doesn't.
Put the light on the top of the toe nail.
And the other sensor lines up, directly underneath.
And then wrap the plaster around the toe.
Once the probe is attached to the toe.
Have the cable going down the leg.
And you can put a sock on and that helps to keep the sensor in place overnight.
Once the sensor has been attached for about 20 seconds it will start to trace.
To turn the sound off of the monitor just keep pressing the down arrow.
Until it falls silent.
You have oxygen level and pulse.
Keep this probe attached to the toe all night until the morning.
If your child needs to get up for any reason during the night.
Keep the machine on. Just disconnect the probe from here.
The sleep study will pause. The child can move away from the monitor.
And once they're back and settled. Just plug the sensor back in.
And after a few seconds the sleep study will recommence.
If for any reason oxygen levels drop below 70. The machine will alarm.
To turn the alarm off.
Just press and hold the orange button for three seconds and that will silence it.
The other reason the alarm may go off is if the sensor comes off the toe.
The machine will alarm to tell you.
Again press the orange button for three seconds. And ensure that the probe is fitting correctly.
In the morning when the child wakes up.
Remove the probe from their toe.
Disconnect it from the machine and just press and hold
the On button again for three seconds to turn the machine off.
All of the data will be saved.
You are provided with an information sheet that gives you all of the information
as well on how to perform the sleep study.
We do provide you with an event chart to fill in during the night
to make a note of any significant events
or for any reason you need to disconnect the probe.
And that needs to be returned to us the following morning along with the machine.
