one minute when initially connected to the N-560 to in
dicate that the
attached O
XIMAX sensor contains a patient sensor event record. The
indicator lights continuously to indicate that the attached sensor
memory is full. The indicator does not light when there is no data in
the sensor, even though a valid sensor is connected to the N-560.

Interference Explained
Interference is a term that was formally introduced in ISO9919:2005,
“Medical electrical equipment — Particular requirements for the basic
safety and essential performance of pulse oximeter equipment for
medical use”. Interference may arise from a number of sources, alone
or in combination, and the term refers to the effects on the incoming
red and IR signals caused by physiological conditions, medical
procedures, or external agents. The effect of interference on a pulse
oximeter is due only to the amount of interference, and is generally
nondiscriminatory as to its source. Interference may or may not affect
the accuracy of measurements, depending upon its severity, nature,
or duration.
