Masimo® NK Series
Patient Cables
Reusable
INDICATIONS
The Masimo® NK Series patient cables have the same indications for use as the applicable sensors. Please see the
compatible sensor's directions for use for indications for use and prescribed information.
DESCRIPTION
The Masimo NK Series (LNC, M-LNC, and PC) patient cables are used with LNCS®, M-LNCS™ and LNOP® sensors.
The Masimo NK Series patient cables and Masimo sensors have been functionally verified on Nihon Kohden devices
with Masimo SET® technology.
Masimo NK Series patient cables have been verified using Masimo SET technology.
WARNING: Masimo sensors and cables are designed for use with devices containing Masimo SET oximetry or licensed
to use Masimo sensors.
WARNINGS, CAUTIONS, AND NOTES
• Always refer to the oximeter module operator's manual for complete instructions or additional instructions.
• Ensure the cable is physically intact, with no broken or frayed wires or damaged parts. Visually inspect the cable
and discard if cracks or discoloration are found.
• All sensors and cables are designed for use with specific monitors. Verify the compatibility of the monitor, cable
and sensor before use, otherwise degraded performance and/or patient injury can result.
• Carefully route patient cable to reduce the possibility of patient entanglement or strangulation.
• Failure to properly connect the sensor or the oximeter module to the cable may result in intermittent readings,
inaccurate results, or no reading.
• To avoid damage to the cable, always hold it by the connector rather than the cable when connecting or
disconnecting either end.
• To prevent damage, do not soak or immerse the sensor or cable in any liquid solution. Do not attempt to sterilize
the cable or sensor.
• Do not attempt to reprocess, recondition or recycle Masimo sensors or patient cables as these processes may
damage the electrical components, potentially leading to patient harm.
• Caution: Replace the cable when a replace cable message is displayed, or when a low SIQ message is consistently
displayed while monitoring consecutive patients after completing the low SIQ troubleshooting steps identified in
the monitoring device operator's manual.
• Note: The cable is provided with X-Cal™ technology to minimize the risk of inaccurate readings and unanticipated
loss of patient monitoring. The cable will provide up to 17,520 hours of patient monitoring time. Replace the cable
when the patient monitoring time is exhausted. Some legacy monitoring devices do not distinguish between the
cable and the sensor. In these devices, a replace sensor or similar message could pertain either to the sensor or
the cable.
INSTRUCTIONS
A) Attach the Masimo NK Series Patient Cable to the Device
1. Orient the connector of the cable to mate with the patient cable connector on the device and insert.
B) Attach the Masimo NK Series Patient Cable connector to the sensor connector
Attaching to a LNCS sensor
1. Refer to Fig. 1. Insert the sensor connector completely into the patient cable connector.
2. Refer to Fig. 2. Completely close the protective cover.
Attaching to a M-LNCS disposable sensor
1. Refer to Fig. 3. Orient sensor connector to the patient cable connector as shown.
2. Refer to Fig. 4. Insert the sensor connector completely into the patient cable connector until it locks in place
as shown.
Attaching to a rainbow® disposable sensor
1. Refer to Fig. 5. Orient sensor connector (1) to patient cable connector (2) as shown.
2. Refer to Fig. 6. Insert the sensor connector completely into the patient cable connector until it locks in place
as shown.
Attaching to a rainbow or M-LNCS reusable sensor
NOTE: rainbow spot check reusable sensors are not for use with the Masimo NK Series patient cable.
1. Refer to Fig. 7. Orient sensor connector (1) to patient cable connector (2) as shown.
2. Refer to Fig. 8. Insert sensor connector (1) completely into patient cable connector (2). Close sensor connector
cover (3) over patient cable connector (2) until it locks in place.
