◆
Never autoclave, immerse in liquid or expose the MaxO2 ME (including sensor) to high tem-
peratures (>50°C). Never expose the device to liquid, pressure, irradiation vacuum, steam,
or chemicals.
◆
To protect the unit from potential leaky battery damage always remove batteries when the
unit is going to be stored (not in use for 30 days or more) and replace dead batteries with
recognized name brand AA Alkaline batteries.
DO NOT
use rechargeable batteries.
DO NOT
attempt to replace oxygen sensor or batteries while the device is in use.
◆
This device does not contain automatic barometric pressure compensation.
◆
Not for use in an MRI environment.
◆
Battery replacement by inadequately trained personnel could result in a safety hazard.
◆
Electrical shock or damage to the equipment may occur if an inappropriate external power
supply is used. Maxtec recommends using only the Maxtec approved external power supply,
as listed in 9.0 Spare Parts and Accessories.
NOTE:
The MaxO2 ME oxygen monitor has been manufactured with a low alarm setting adjust-
able down to 15% that requires deliberate action to set it below 18%. See section 3.1 Alarm
Setting Procedure.
DO NOT
clean or dry the MaxO2 ME with a high pressure air gun. Applying high pressure
air to the MaxO2 ME may damage components and render the system inoperable.
DO NOT
over clean the MaxO2 ME. Repeated use of a cleaning agent can cause residue
buildup on critical components. Excessive residue buildup can affect the MaxO2 ME's
performance.
◆
When cleaning the MaxO2 ME:
DO NOT
use harsh abrasives.
DO NOT
immerse the
MaxO2 ME in liquid sterilizing agents or liquids of any kind.
DO NOT
spray cleaning solu-
tion directly onto the device.
DO NOT
allow cleaning solution to pool on the device.
DO NOT
sterilize the MaxO2 ME. Standard sterilization techniques may damage the
monitor.
◆
If the MaxO2 ME does not function as outlined in section 2.0, contact a Maxtec trained service
technician or Maxtec for service.
DO NOT
allow the sensor to come in contact with exhaled patient gases or other potential
sources of contamination. The sensor face cannot be decontaminated if it comes in con-
tact with infectious agents.
◆
Gas leaks that cause room air to mix with the gas sample may cause inaccurate oxygen read-
ings. Ensure the O-rings on the sensor and flow diverter are in place and intact prior to use.
DO NOT
expose the sensor face to liquids or allow humidity to condense on the face of the
sensor as this may impair the function of the MaxO2 ME.
◆
The MaxO2 ME and sensor are non-sterile devices.
◆
Regularly inspect the MaxO2 ME and associated components for damage or electrolyte leak-
age prior to use.
DO NOT
use if damaged.
DO NOT
obstruct alarm.
DO NOT
smoke in an area where oxygen is being administered.
◆
The MaxO2 ME may only be calibrated using 20.9% oxygen (room air) or 100% oxygen.
Calibration at other concentrations will result in inaccurate readings.
◆
The oxygen sensor should be operated in an upright position (sensor face downwards).
Operating the oxygen sensor upside down may cause the sensor to function improperly.
◆
When using the approved external power supply, functional batteries must also be installed
in the device. The device will not operate solely on the external power supply.
◆
In the event of exposure to an ELECTROMAGNETIC DISTURBANCE the analyzer may display an E06
or E02 error message. If this occurs, refer to Section 5.0 for instructions to resolve the problem.
