Installing AAA Batteries
WARNING: Before changing
batteries, make sure the device is
off and is not applied to a digit.
1.
Hold the 3230 so you see the
back of the device and the
arrows on the battery door
point away from you.
.
2. Place your thumbs on the ovals.
3. Slide the battery door away
from you and off the 3230.
4. If applicable, remove the
old batteries from the 3230.
Properly dispose of the
batteries.
5. Insert two new 1.5 volt AAAsize batteries. Carefully match
the polarity markings (+ and -).
The 3230 will not work if the
batteries are inserted the
wrong way.
6. Carefully slide the battery door
back onto the device.
Turning On the NoninConnect
Model 3230
1. Insert a digit into the Model 3230
until it touches the built-in stop.
NOTE: Make sure the finger is lying
flat (not on its side) and is centered
within the device. For best results,
keep the device at heart or chest
level.
2. If the CorrectCheck screen
(see Display Symbols table)
displays, slide finger further
into device. Correct positioning
of the finger is critical for
accurate measurements.
3. The 3230 begins sensing the
pulse and displaying readings.
4. View about 4 seconds of
readings before relying on the
displayed values. It is common
for the displayed values to vary
slightly over a period of
several seconds.
NOTE: While on the finger, do
not press the device against any
surface and do not squeeze or hold
it together. The internal spring
provides the correct pressure;
additional pressure may cause
inaccurate readings.

Indications for Use
The NoninConnect Model 3230 Finger Pulse Oximeter is a small, lightweight, portable device indicated
for use in measuring and displaying functional oxygen saturation of arterial hemoglobin (%SpO
) and
2
pulse rate of patients who are well or poorly perfused. It is intended for spot-checking of adult and
pediatric patients with digits between 0.8 – 2.5 cm (0.3 – 1.0 inch) thick.
CAUTION: Federal law (USA) restricts this device to sale by or on the order of a licensed
practitioner.
NOTE: Use Environment—Home healthcare environments under the supervision of qualified medical
professionals. Users include current/potential users of pulse oximetry in the home and caregivers/
potential caregivers of such a user.
Contraindications
MR
Do not use the device in an MR environment, in an explosive atmosphere, or on neonatal patients.
• This device is not defibrillation proof per IEC 60601-1.

Warnings
• Use the Model 3230 within its designated range (approximately 10 m/32 ft, spherical radius, line of sight
when connected to a Bluetooth Smart Ready device). Moving outside this range may cause missing, lost,
and/or inaccurate data.
• Inspect the sensor application site at least every 6 to 8 hours to ensure correct sensor alignment and
skin integrity. Patient sensitivity to sensor may vary due to medical status or skin condition.
• Avoid excessive pressure to the sensor application site as this may cause damage to the skin beneath the sensor.
• This device is intended only as an adjunct in patient assessment. It must be used in conjunction with
other methods of assessing clinical signs and symptoms.
• The device must be able to measure the pulse properly to obtain an accurate SpO
that nothing is hindering the pulse measurement before relying on the SpO
measurement. Verify

• Operation of this device below the minimum amplitude of 0.3% modulation may cause inaccurate results.
• General operation of the device may be affected by the use of an electrosurgical unit (ESU).
• Keep the oximeter away from young children. Small items such as the battery door and battery are
choking hazards.
• Before changing batteries, make sure the device is off and is not applied to a digit.
Cautions
• This device has no audible alarms and is intended only for spot-checking.
•
T
his 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 followi
•
The device may not work when circulation is reduced. Warm or rub the finger, or re-position the device.
ng:
• The device is designed to be attached only to a digit.
• This device’s display will shut off after 30 seconds of no readings or poor readings.
• In some circumstances, the device will interpret motion as good pulse quality. Minimize patient motion
as much as possible.
• Clean the device before applying it to a new patient.
Do not sterilize, autoclave, or immerse this device in liquid. Do not pour or spray any liquids into the device.
•
•
Do not use caustic or abrasive cleaning agents, or any cleaning products containing ammonium chloride

• This device is a precision electronic instrument and must be repaired by qualified technical
professionals. Field repair of the device is not possible. Do not attempt to open the case or repair the
electronics. Opening the case may damage the device and void the warranty.
•
This equipment complies with IEC 60601-1-2 for electromagnetic compatibility for medical electrical
equipment and/or systems. This standard is designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful
interference in a typical medical installation. However, because of the proliferation of radio-frequency
transmitting equipment and other sources of electrical noise in health care and other environments, it is
possible that high levels of such interference due to close proximity or strength of a source might disrupt the
performance of this device. Medical electrical equipment needs special precautions regarding EMC, and all
equipment must be installed and put into service according to the EMC information specified in this manual.
• Portable and mobile RF communications equipment including CT, diathermy, RFID, and electronic
article security systems can affect medical electrical equipment.
Batteries may leak or explode if used or disposed of improperly. Remove batteries if the device will be stored
•
for more than 30 days. Do not use different types of batteries at the same time. Do not mix fully charged and
partially charged batteries at the same time. These actions may cause the batteries to leak.
• Follow local, state, and national governing ordinances and recycling instructions regarding disposal or
recycling of the device and device components, including batteries.
In compliance with the European Directive on Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment (WEEE) 2002/
•
96/EC, do not dispose of this product as unsorted municipal waste. This device contains WEEE materials;

See the “Turning on the NoninConnect Model 3230” instructions and figures at left.
Connection via Bluetooth Wireless Technology
When the Model 3230 is placed on the finger and turns on, it is ready for a Bluetooth wireless connection.
The 3230 stays in this mode until it is shut off. The symbol is white when the Bluetooth radio is on, green
when the 3230 is connected, and flashes white when there is a communication error.
The Bluetooth symbol is useful for the product installer.
Due to the wide variety of wireless environments, the Bluetooth connection between the 3230 and the host
device must be tested before using the 3230’s Bluetooth capabilities.
Turning Off the NoninConnect Model 3230
The Model 3230 will automatically turn off approximately 10 seconds after the digit is removed, or after
a 2-minute period of poor signals.
Cleaning the NoninConnect Model 3230
• Clean the device before applying it to a new patient.
• Do not sterilize, autoclave, or immerse this device in liquid. Do not pour or spray any liquids into
the device.
• Do not use caustic or abrasive cleaning agents, or any cleaning products containing ammonium chloride
or isopropyl alcohol.
• Do not use cleaning solutions other than those recommended here, as permanent damage could result.

Bluetooth Security
The Bluetooth radio contained in the 3230 is a Bluetooth Smart single-mode, low-energy radio. It supports
a GATT-based, proprietary Nonin profile to transmit current readings from the patient. Data is not stored
by the 3230 to be transferred at a later time. The 3230 supports an encryption key size of 128 bits. While
the 3230 is in a Bluetooth connection, it will be unavailable for other connections. Apart from the standard
Bluetooth security measures, Nonin has implemented a non-standard security measure to the 3230 that, if
used, will restrict the transfer of data to only devices with a specified organizationally unique identifier
(OUI).
