Summary of Cautions for OxyFlo Pro Probes
CAUTION
OxyFlo Pro probes must be HANDLED WITH CARE.
Failure to do so may result in breakage of the internal optical
fibres, scratching the polished probe ends or separation of
the cable from the probe ends or connectors.
CAUTION
OxyFlo Pro probes are NOT approved for use on patients.
CAUTION
DO NOT drop, apply tension or ‘kink’ any part of an OxyFlo
Pro probe. Permanent damage may result.
CAUTION
OxyFlo Pro probes should be stored, with the probe cable
carefully coiled to avoid ‘kinks’, in the dedicated protective
case in which they are supplied.
CAUTION
Do not use a probe if it appears worn or damaged.
CAUTION
Avoid immersing the probe
connector
in any cleaning
solution.
CAUTION
If the probe connector has been immersed in 70% alcohol
ensure that it is completely free of pockets of non-
evaporated alcohol prior to use.
CAUTION
The effectiveness of ETO gas, radiation or plasma methods
for probe sterilization has not been validated.
CAUTION
It is the responsibility of the user to validate the sterility of
OxyFlo probes after sterilisation.
