Introduction
The MiniOX
®
3000 Oxygen Monitor provides
continuous, direct monitoring of oxygen mixtures in a
variety of applications, including:
• Respiratory Therapy (e.g., respirators,
ventilators, pediatric incubators)
• Anesthesiology (e.g., anesthesia machines)
• Oxygen Therapy (e.g., oxygen tents)
The monitor is for use by trained health care
professionals:
• under the supervision, or on the order, of a
physician
• in a hospital or clinical setting
• during emergency transport
General Description
Battery-operated and microprocessor-controlled,
the MiniOX
®
3000 Oxygen Monitor measures
oxygen concentrations in the 0% to 100% range.
The monitor’s performance features ensure reliable
and accurate oxygen measurement. These features
include:
• calibration function
• high and low oxygen concentration alarms
• low and depleted battery alarms
• oxygen sensor indicator
• automatic error detection
• battery test
• oxygen alarm test
The calibration function allows calibration of

concentration of 20.8%) or 100% O
2
. Audible and
visual alarms alert the operator when monitor
calibration is required.
High and low oxygen concentration alarms may be set
in the ranges of:
• 19% to 100% (high alarm) and
• 18% to 99% (low alarm)
or the default high/low settings may be used (50%
and 18%, respectively).
Audible and visual alarms activate when oxygen
concentrations:
• fall below the preset (or default) low alarm
setting
• rise above the preset (or default) high alarm
setting
The MiniOX
®
3000 Oxygen Monitor:
• detects low and depleted battery conditions
• activates audible and visual alarms
• alarms for:
• sensor disconnection or malfunction
• various internal operating errors
The MiniOX
®
3000 Oxygen Monitor conducts self-
checks:
• at power-up (battery installation)
• at turn-on
• during operation
Additionally, the monitor has two operator-initiated test
functions:
•

and low oxygen level alarms
• The Battery Test assesses the relative
remaining battery life
The MiniOX
®
3000 Oxygen Monitor consists of two
components: the instrument and the oxygen sensor.
The front of the hand-held instrument features:
• a touch-sensitive keypad
• a liquid crystal display (LCD) that shows:
• monitor status
• continuous oxygen concentrations
• preset alarm levels
• two red light-emitting diodes (LEDs) which
serve as visual alarms
The back of the instrument case features:
• a bail bar to allow the instrument to “stand” on a
horizontal surface during monitoring operations
• a plastic wedge that slides into an optional
bracket for mounting the instrument on a
horizontal or vertical pole
