Introduction
Thank you for buying the GO2 Model 9570 Fingertip Pulse Oximeter. This small, portable
device will give you important information about your oxygen saturation (the amount of
oxygen in your blood) and pulse rate at your fingertip! The Model 9570 is easy to use and
needs no routine maintenance except battery replacement. This User Guide explains how to
use and care for your GO2 Model 9570.

Intended Use
GO2 Model 9570 is intended to measure blood oxygen saturation (%SpO2) (the amount
of oxygen in your blood) and pulse rate of both adults and children. It is designed for
fingers (not the thumb) between 0.3 and 1.0 inch (0.8 – 2.5cm) thick. The index finger
(pointer finger) is most recommended. Contact your licensed health care professional for
your expected oxygen saturation level (to compare with your readings). The GO2 Model
9570 is intended for Home Health Care Only.
Contraindications
•Do not use the GO2 in a magnetic resonance (MR) environment.
Warnings
•Keep the oximeter away from young children. Small items such as the battery door,
battery, and lanyard are choking hazards.
•Certain activities may pose a risk of injury, including strangulation, if the lanyard
should become wrapped around your neck. Use the lanyard with caution.

Cautions
•Do not use the GO2 as the only basis for making medical decisions. It is intended
only to be used as additional information that you can give to your licensed
health care professional.
•The GO2 might misinterpret excessive movement as good pulse strength. Limit finger
movement as much as possible when using the device.
•The GO2 must be able to measure your pulse properly to give you an accurate reading.
Do not put the device on the same hand/arm when using a blood pressure cuff or monitor.
•The GO2 has no alarms. It will not sound if the amount of oxygen in your blood is low
or if your pulse rate is too high or too low.
•Do not place the GO2 in liquid or clean it with agents containing ammonium chloride,
isopropyl alcohol, or products that are not listed in this User’s Guide.
•The GO2 is not intended for use in institutions.
•Any of the following conditions may reduce the performance of the GO2:
- flickering or very bright light;
- weak pulse quality (low perfusion);
- low hemoglobin;
- arterial catheters;
- nail polish, and/or artificial nails; and
- any tests recently performed on you that required an injection of
intravascular dyes.
•The GO2 may not work if you have poor circulation. Rub your finger to increase
circulation, or place the device on another finger.
•The GO2 measures oxygen saturation of functional hemoglobin. High levels of
dysfunctional hemoglobin (caused by sickle cell anemia, carbon monoxide, etc.)
could affect the accuracy of the measurements.
•Batteries can leak or explode if used or disposed of improperly. Remove the
battery if the GO2 will be stored for more than 30 days.
•Do not use the GO2 in a combustible environment (oxygen enriched environment).
•Do not use the GO2 outside the specified operating and storage temperature ranges.
•Do not use the GO2 for more than 30 minutes without relocating the device to
another finger.

ENGLISH
•The GO2 needs to be used according to information provided in the User Guide.
•Do not tamper with, or hang lanyard from the flexible circuit.
•Radios and cell phones or similar devices may affect the GO2 and should be kept at
least 2 meters (7 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.
•Use in emergency vehicles with communication systems may affect accuracy.
•Functional tester cannot be used to assess the accuracy of this pulse oximeter.
•Follow local disposal and recycling laws for the GO2 and its components,
including the battery.
•The GO2 is a precision electronic instrument and must be repaired by Nonin
Technical Service.
Installing the Battery
One 1.5 volt AAA-size (LR03) battery powers the GO2 for approximately 2400
measurements. Nonin recommends using alkaline batteries (one is included with
each new GO2). NOTE: You may use rechargeable batteries; however, they may
require more frequent replacement.
1. Remove the battery door located on the left side of the GO2 by sliding it
towards you.
2. Insert one new 1.5 volt AAA-size battery. Follow the plus (+) and minus (-) markings
for battery direction (as shown inside of the battery compartment).
