2. The MiniOX
®
3000 Oxygen Monitor must be calibrated
prior to each use. A two point calibration check must
be performed weekly. (
See Section 3, Operation
) If
the instrument cannot be calibrated, the sensor must
be replaced. If the instrument is still unable to be
calibrated, the instrument must be serviced.
3. The oxygen sensor has a minimal response to certain
gases other than oxygen. Be aware of these gases
and their interference levels. (
See Appendix C,
Interferent Gases and Vapors)
4. The oxygen sensor is affected by changes in
barometric pressure. (
See Appendix B, Effects of
Pressure, Humidity and Temperature)
5. The sensor is a sealed unit containing a potassium
hydroxide electrolyte. If the sensor should develop a
leak, discard it immediately. Since the sensor contains
caustic material, it must be disposed of in accordance
with all applicable regulations in the country in which
it is used. Should contact occur with skin or clothing,
rinse area immediately with large quantities of water.

the sensor retaining strap must be used to prevent
accidental separation of sensor and tee adapter.
7. Never operate the MiniOX
®
3000 Oxygen Monitor if it
is suspected that water or other liquids have entered
into the case. If this occurs, immediately turn the unit
OFF and contact your nearest Ohio Medical Service
Center for additional information
8. Use of devices generating or emitting electromagnetic
radiation near the MiniOX
®
3000 Oxygen Monitor may
interfere with the proper operation of the product,
causing it to fail to perform as designed. Particularly,
the electromagnetic radiation from the interfering
device may cause the product to display incorrect/
erratic values or to stop operating. Special attention
should be paid to the patient if this occurs.
9. Never use the MiniOX
®
3000 Oxygen Monitor in
combustible atmosphere, such as occurs with
ÀDPPDEOH DQHVWKHWLFV 6XFK XVH FRXOG UHVXOW LQ
ignition of atmosphere.
10. Never allow an excess length of cable near the
patient’s head or neck, as such could result in
strangulation. Secure excess cable to the bed rail or
other suitable object.
FAILURE TO COMPLY WITH THESE WARNINGS
COULD JEOPARDIZE THE WELL-BEING OF THE
PATIENT AND/OR HEALTH CARE PROFESSIONAL.
1. Remove internal battery if unit is to be non-operational
for extended periods of time.
2. Observe polarity when inserting a new battery.
Incorrect connection may cause damage to the
instrument.
3. The MiniOX
®
3000 Oxygen Monitor must never be
immersed in any cleaning solution, autoclaved, or
exposed to temperatures greater than 70
o
C.
4. Use only genuine Ohio Medical Corporation
accessories and replacement parts. Failure to do
so may seriously impair the monitor’s performance.
Repair or alteration of the MiniOX
®
3000 Oxygen
Monitor beyond the scope of the maintenance
instructions or by anyone other than an authorized
Ohio Medical Corporation service person could cause
the product to fail to perform as designed.
5. Improper mounting of the sensor in a breathing circuit
may result in inaccurate readings. The sensor MUST

prevent moisture collection on the sensor membrane
(see Figures 3-3 and 3-4 in
Section 3, Operation
).

3000 Oxygen Monitor with a
cable that appears worn, cracked, or has damaged
insulation.
FAILURE TO COMPLY WITH THESE CAUTIONS
COULD RESULT IN INSTRUMENT DAMAGE AND/OR
FAILURE OF UNIT TO PERFORM TO SPECIFICATIONS.
