NOTE: The MaxO
2
ME oxygen monitor has been manufactured with a low alarm setting
adjustable down to 15% that requires deliberate action to set it below 18%.
See section 3.1 Alarm Setting Procedure.
DO NOT clean or dry the MaxO
2
ME with a high pressure air gun. Applying high pressure air to
the MaxO
2
ME may damage components and render the system inoperable.
DO NOT over clean the MaxO
2
ME. Repeated use of a cleaning agent can cause residue buildup
on critical components. Excessive residue buildup can affect the MaxO
2
ME's performance.
» When cleaning the MaxO
2
ME: DO NOT use harsh abrasives. DO NOT immerse the
MaxO
2
ME in liquid sterilizing agents or liquids of any kind. DO NOT spray cleaning solution
directly onto the device. DO NOT allow cleaning solution to pool on the device.
DO NOT sterilize the MaxO
2
ME. Standard sterilization techniques may damage the monitor.
» If the MaxO
2
ME does not function as outlined in section 2.0, contact a Maxtec trained service
technician or Maxtec for service.
DO NOT allow the sensor to come in contact with exhaled patient gases or other potential sources of
contamination. The sensor face cannot be decontaminated if it comes in contact with infectious agents.
»
Gas leaks that cause room air to mix with the gas sample may cause inaccurate oxygen readings.
Ensure the O-rings on the sensor and flow diverter are in place and intact prior to use.
DO NOT expose the sensor face to liquids or allow humidity to condense on the face of the
sensor as this may impair the function of the MaxO
2
ME.
»
The MaxO
2
ME and sensor are non-sterile devices.
»
Regularly inspect the MaxO
2
ME and associated components for damage or electrolyte leakage prior to use.
DO NOT use if damaged.
DO NOT obstruct alarm.
DO NOT smoke in an area where oxygen is being administered.
»
The MaxO
2
ME may only be calibrated using 20.9% oxygen (room air) or 100% oxygen. Calibration at
other concentrations will result in inaccurate readings.
»
The MaxO
2
ME may be used for ground transport but should not be used during air transport as
changes in barometric pressure will alter the monitor readings.
»
The oxygen sensor should be operated in an upright position (sensor face downwards).
Operating the oxygen sensor upside down may cause the sensor to function improperly.
»
When using the approved external power supply, functional batteries must also be installed in the
device. The device will not operate solely on the external power supply.
