concentrations with a calibrated oxygen analyzer. Failure to do so could
result in personal injury or equipment damage.
NOTE:
An oxygen concentration guide is provided in table 6-5 on page 6-24.
This guide also appears on the back of the incubator.
4. Apply oxygen at the flow rates described in the oxygen
concentration guide (see table 6-5 on page 6-24).
