CAUTION
The tips of oxygen sensors are fragile and can be damaged
by attempts to clean them without due care and attention.
CAUTION
For safe storage of OxyLite sensors always refit the
protective black cover when a sensor is not in use.
CAUTION
DO NOT drop, stretch or ‘kink’ any part of an OxyLite sensor.
Permanent damage may result.
CAUTION
Attempting to disconnect the sensor by pulling the cable
sleeving instead of the front of the sensor connector may
cause irreparable damage to the sensor.
CAUTION
DO NOT soak or immerse OxyLite sensors in corrosive
solution. Permanent damage may result.
CAUTION
DO NOT store OxyLite sensors in bright sunlight.
CAUTION
AVOID using OxyLite sensors under strong (e.g. surgical)
lights.
CAUTION
The oxygen-sensitive tip of sensors must be isolated from
atmospheric oxygen to ensure reliable
in situ
oxygen
measurements.
CAUTION
Oxygen sensor calibration accuracy is warranted for a period
of 6 months from factory calibration.
CAUTION
If the sensor connector has been immersed in 70% alcohol
ensure that it is completely free of pockets of non-evaporated
alcohol prior to use.
CAUTION
The effect of exposure to heat, radiation, glutaraldehyde,
ETO gas or plasma on the performance and measurement
accuracy of OxyLite sensors has not been validated.
