time, the amount of time between the onset of the low
battery alarm and the instrument shut-off may become
shorter.
It is recommended that the internal battery be replaced by
qualified service personnel every 24 months.
Caution: If the NPB-290 is to be stored for a period of 2
months or longer, remove the battery from the monitor prior

PERFORMANCE CONSIDERATIONS
Impact of Patient Conditions on Monitor Readings
Certain patient conditions can affect the measurements of the
NPB-290 and cause the loss of the pulse signal.
WARNING: Pulse oximetry readings and pulse signals can
be affected by certain ambient environmental conditions,
sensor application errors, and certain patient conditions.
Inaccurate measurements can be caused by:
• excessive patient movement
• venous pulsations
• intravascular dyes, such as indocyanine green or methylene
blue
• significant levels of dysfunctional hemoglobins
• defibrillation
Ambient environmental conditions and sensor application errors,
which can affect pulse oximetry readings, are discussed in the
