9.4 Exposure to Anesthetic Gases
Because of the unique chemistry of the oxygen sensors provided with the MaxBlend 2, there
are no significant effects when exposed to commonly used anesthetic gases; however, the
monitor is not designed for exposure to flammable gas mixtures (See WARNING page 2).

11.2 Mixing Operation
The MaxBlend 2 is designed to utilize two 50 PSIG (3.4 BAR) gas sources. The two gas sources
enter through the air and oxygen inlet connectors located on the bottom of the MaxBlend 2.
R228P49
Each inlet connector incorporates a 30 micron particulate filter. Once through the filters, each
gas passes through a duckbill check valve, which prevents possible reverse gas flow from

either the air or the oxygen supply systems.
R100P22
The two gases then pass through a two-stage balance regulator. The purpose of this regulator
R100P26
is to equalize the operating pressures of the air and oxygen gas sources. Once these pres-
sures have been balanced, the gases are proportioned according to the oxygen concentration

selected on the oxygen concentration selection knob. The oxygen concentration knob allows

the clinician to select a desired oxygen concentration from 21% to 100% O

11.3 Gas Outlet
There are three gas outlets on the MaxBlend 2. One is a fixed acrylic flowmeter, the other two
are auxiliary ports (one on the bottom of the unit, and one on the right side). These outlets
are capable of delivering combined metered flows of 0-30 LPM for the low flow model and
0-120 LPM for the high flow model. The auxiliary outlet ports are fitted with an automatic
shut-off valve. The flow of gas from either outlet port is automatically initiated by attaching a
pneumatic device (such as a flowmeter) to the outlet port.
Regardless of whether or not the outlet has any device connected to it, a minimal gas bleed
flow of 0.1 LPM flows from the MaxBlend 2 sensor port on the left side of the blender. It is from
this bleed flow that the gas is analyzed by the oxygen sensor. In addition, a toggle switch is
provided allowing the user to activate an additional gas bleed, which ensures the blender has
sufficient flow to function accurately when the total flow delivered to the patient is below a
certain minimum threshold. For a low flow model, this additional bleed should be activated if
the total flow delivered to the patient is less than 3 LPM.
For a high flow model, the additional bleed should be activated if the total flow delivered to
the patient is less than 15 LPM. At delivered flows greater than these limits, the bleed toggle
can be deactivated to conserve oxygen.
