General WARNINGS and CAUTIONS

1. The MiniOX 1 Oxygen Analyzer will perform to
®
specifications only if it is used and serviced in
accordance with the manufacturer's instructions. This
instrument is to be used only by qualified, trained
personnel who have carefully read the operating
manual and labels and who have observed the
information set forth. If this instrument does not
perform as described in this manual, the instrument
must not be used until the condition is rectified.
2. The MiniOX 1 Oxygen Analyzer must be calibrated
®
prior to each use. A two point calibration check must
be performed weekly. (See Section 4, Operation) If
the instrument cannot be calibrated, the sensor must
be replaced. It the instrument still is unable to be
calibrated, the instrument must be serviced.
3. The oxygen sensor has a minimal response to
certain gases other than oxygen. Be aware of these
gases and their interference levels. See Section 3,
Performance Specifications
4. The oxygen sensor is affected by changes in
barometric pressure. Refer to Section 4, Effects of
Pressure, for the effects of pressure
5. The sensor is a sealed unit containing a potassium
hydroxide electrolyte. If the sensor should develop a
leak, discard it immediately. Since the sensor contains
caustic material, it must be disposed of in accordance
with all applicable regulations in the country in which
it is used. Should contact occur with skin or clothing,
rinse area immediately with large quantities of water.
In case of eye contact, immediately flush eyes with
1. Remove internal battery if unit is to be non-operational
for extended periods of time.
2. Observe polarity when inserting a new battery.
Incorrect connection may cause damage to the
instrument.
3. The MiniOX
®
immersed in any cleaning solution, autoclaved, or
exposed to temperatures greater than 70

water for at least 15 minutes, holding eyes open. Call a
physician.
6. Ensure a tight fit exists between the sensor and the
tee adapter. Ohio Medical tee adapters are engineered
to fit securely with Ohio Medical sensors. However,
the sensor retaining strap must be used to prevent
accidental separation of sensor and tee adapter.
7. Never use the MiniOX
atmosphere, such as occurs with flammable anesthetics.
Such use could result in ignition of atmosphere.
8. Use of devices generating or emitting electromagnetic
radiation near the MiniOX
interfere with the proper operation of the product,
causing it to fail to perform as designed. Particularly,
the electromagnetic radiation from the interfering
device may cause the product to display incorrect/
erratic values or to stop operating. Special attention
should be paid to the patient if this occurs.
9. Never allow an excess length of cable near the patient's
head or neck, as such could result in strangulation.
Secure excess cable to the bed rail or other suitable
object.
10. Never operate the MiniOX
suspected that water or other liquids have entered into
the case. If this occurs, immediately turn the unit OFF
and contact your nearest Ohio Medical Corporation
Service Center for additional information.
FAILURE TO COMPLY WITH THESE WARNINGS CAN
RESULT IN SERIOUS INJURY OR DEATH OF THE
PATIENT.
CAUTION
or by anyone other than an authorized Ohio Medical
Corporation service person, could cause the product to
fail to perform as designed.
5. Improper mounting of the sensor in a breathing circuit
may result in inaccurate readings. The sensor MUST
be mounted with the deflector pointing downward to
prevent moisture collection on the sensor membrane
(see Figure 4-1 in Section 4, Operation). Install the
sensor upstream from the humidifier to minimize its
exposure to moisture.
6. Never use a MiniOX
that appears worn, cracked, or has damaged insulation
FAILURE TO COMPLY WITH THESE CAUTIONS CAN
RESULT IN INSTRUMENT DAMAGE.
