7.0 CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE
Store the MaxVenturi at a temperature similar to that of its daily use.
7.1 Routine Maintenance
Maxtec recommends the performance check listed in the MaxVenturi Preventive Maintenance
Manual be conducted prior to placing the MaxVenturi into clinical use and once a year thereafter.
If the MaxVenturi does not function as described in the performance check, discontinue use of
the device pending service by trained technicians or contact your Maxtec distributor or Maxtec at:
2305 South 1070 West Salt Lake City, Utah 84119.
7. 2 Device Cleaning
When cleaning or disinfecting the exterior of the MaxVenturi, take appropriate care to prevent
any solution from entering the device. Do not immerse device in fluids. MaxVenturi external
surfaces may be cleaned using a cloth moistened with 65-70% isopropyl alcohol/water solu-
tion or a germicidal wipe.
7.3 Oxygen Sensor Cleaning
Clean the sensor with a cloth moistened with 65-70% isopropyl alcohol/water solution.
•
Maxtec does not recommend use of spray disinfectants because they can contain
salts which can accumulate in the sensor membrane and impair readings.
•
The oxygen sensor is not intended for steam, ethylene oxide or radiation
sterilization.

8.3 Oxygen Inlet Supply
This device was designed for an oxygen inlet pressure of 3.5 bar (50psi). Certain geographical
areas use 4 bar (58psi) or 5bar (73psi) as the standard piped oxygen distribution pressure. This
device can be operated at these pressures but the flow readings on the flow meter must be
corrected for the additional pressure. The table below gives correction factors for each flow
meter graduation indicating the percent increase in flow from nominal that will result due to
the increased inlet pressure at 4bar and 5bar.
