DO NOT use the UltraMaxO
2
for continuous oxygen monitoring.
•
DO NOT use the UltraMaxO
2
to measure the oxygen concentration of a concentrator
when flowing at rates lower than its optimal performance as specified by the
concentrator manufacturer; generally 4 LPM or less on concentrators that have a
maximum flow of 10 LPM, and 1 LPM or less on concentrators that have a maximum
flow of 5 LPM.
•
Not for use in anesthesia applications or for measuring oxygen concentration from
any sources other than conventional oxygen concentrators.
•
Not for use with inhalation agents. Operating the UltraMaxO
2
in flammable or
explosive environments may result in fire or explosion.
