4.1
Use of OxyLite
OxyLite should only be operated on a secure, flat, horizontal surface and in
ambient temperatures of 15°C to 30°C.
4.2
Cleaning and Storage of OxyLite
The monitor enclosure may be surface-cleaned by wiping lightly using a soft
cloth dampened with a commercial, nonabrasive cleaner.
The monitor enclosure may be disinfected by wiping the surface with a soft
cloth dampened with a solution of 70% alcohol in water.
WARNING
To avoid the risk of electric shock or shorts, do not spray,
pour or spill any liquid in or on the OxyLite.
The OxyLite monitor should be stored between 10°C to 40°C. If returning
from extremes of temperature, the unit should be allowed to acclimatise at
room temperature for 30 minutes before use.
4.3
Handling and Storage of Sensors
The optical fibres employed within OxyLite sensors consist of glass, with a
diameter of 230μm. The fibres are flexible and can be bent. However, it is
recommended that they are not subjected to bends with a radius less than
30mm.
CAUTION
OxyLite sensors should be HANDLED WITH CARE.
Failure to do so may result in breakage of the internal optical
fibre, loss of the oxygen sensing tip or separation of the cable
from the sensor connector.
Sensor connectors must be kept clean and free from dust. Connectors
should be inspected before use. Dust can be removed from the connectors
using a good quality ‘air-duster’.
OxyLite sensors should be stored, with the sensor cable carefully coiled to
avoid ‘kinks’, in the pouch in which they are provided and, ideally, in the
dark (e.g. inside the closed cardboard container in which they are supplied),
at or below room temperature.
