2.7.4 Oxygen sensors
The oxygen sensor is a sealed unit that contains potassium hydroxide electrolyte.
Failure to comply with the following precautionary measures could lead to death or
serious injury.
► If the sensor develops a leak, discard it immediately.
► If contact with the skin or clothing occurs, rinse the area with a large quantity of
water.

eye open, and call a physician.
► Use only Dräger Medical recommended oxygen sensors for proper operation.

The use of poorly maintained oxygen components increases the risk of fire and
could lead to death or serious injury.

necessary.
