Battery Installation Diagram

Operating Instructions

CAUTION
Inspect the Oxygen Monitor, Sensor and Cable for visual damage before use, DO NOT USE if damaged.

WARNING
Read this User Manual before installing or operating the Oxygen Monitor.

Quick Setup Guide

1. Install 4 AA Alkaline Batteries.
2. Connect the Oxygen Sensor and Diverter Fitting.
3. Connect the Coiled Cable.
4. Calibrate the Oxygen Monitor.
5. Set the High/Low Alarms.

Sensor Installation

CAUTION

• Inspect the Oxygen Sensor and Diverter Fitting for visual damage or electrolyte leakage before use. DO NOT USE if damaged.
• Use ONLY an Oxygen Sensor specified by Precision Medical, Inc.
• The Oxygen Sensor should not be used in the presence of flammable anesthetics such as Diethyl Ether or Cyclopropane

WARNING

• DO NOT attempt to open or repair the Oxygen Sensor.
• The Sensor electrolyte is corrosive and contains lead.
• DO NOT let it come in contact with the skin. If it does, flush the affected area with water. Check the Sensor regularly for leaks. If the Sensor is leaking, replace it with a NEW
• Sensor. Leaking or used Sensors should be handled and disposed of in accordance with local regulations.
• An MSDS is available from Precision Medical, Inc.
• If the Oxygen Sensor is used in breathing circuits, the Diverter must be attached to the Sensor and must be used with the Tee Adapter.
• The Oxygen Sensor must be installed before the Oxygen Monitor can be operated.

1. Screw the Diverter to the bottom of the Oxygen Sensor, and tighten until snug.
2. If using the Tee Adapter, attach to the Diverter.
3. Insert one end of the Coiled Cable into the top of the Sensor, and secure by tightening the Locking Ring, until snug.
4. Insert the other end of the Coiled Cable into the Sensor Cable Connection located on the right side of the Oxygen Monitor. Secure it in place by tightening the Locking Ring, until snug.
5. Wait approximately 20 minutes for the NEW Sensor to stabilize the environment.
6. Calibrate the Oxygen Monitor with the NEW Sensor.

CAUTION

1. Calibrate the Oxygen Monitor before each use, and when replacing the Oxygen Sensor or the batteries.
2. The Precision Medical Oxygen Monitor can only be calibrated accurately using 100% Oxygen or 20.9% Oxygen (Room Air). Using any other concentration will result in inaccurate readings.
3. Air calibration is not recommended unless the Sensor can be exposed to a known source of clean air. Hospital room air is often enriched with excess oxygen.
4. Calibrate the Oxygen Monitor at a pressure and flow similar to your clinical application.
5. Before calibrating the Oxygen Monitor, the oxygen concentration readout should be stable and not drift more than 0.2%.
6. DO NOT calibrate the Oxygen Monitor in humidified gas, as water vapor makes the oxygen concentration appear lower than the actual value.

Calibration

1. Place the Sensor with the Diverter and Plastic Tee attached into the gas stream of 100% USP Oxygen or room air. The highest accuracy is achieved when using 100% USP Oxygen at constant pressure and flow.
2. Wait at least 20 seconds or more for the oxygen to purge the line.
3. Turn the Oxygen Monitor “ON” by pressing the POWER key.
4. Let the oxygen concentration display stabilize, the readout should not drift more than 0.2%.
5. Press the key to UNLOCK the keys.
6. Press the CAL key. The display will show “@ 21%” or “@ 100%” oxygen. When “DONE” appears, the calibration is complete. The Oxygen Concentration will be displayed in a gas percent value. Press LOCK/UNLOCK to save the calibration data. If no keys are pressed within 3 seconds, the setting will be saved, and the keypad will be locked.
7. Remove the Oxygen Sensor from the oxygen supply and confirm that the display reads between 19-22% Oxygen in room air.

Effects of Temperature
To minimize temperature effects:

1. In a breathing circuit, place the Oxygen Sensor upstream of the heater.
2. Allow time for the Oxygen Sensor to stabilize to its new room temperature.
3. Perform the calibration procedure at a temperature close to or similar to your clinical application

Effects of Elevation/Barometric Pressure Changes
This device does not automatically compensate for changes in barometric pressure. Calibration of the Monitor shall be performed when the elevation at which the device is being used changes by more than 500 feet.

Effects of Humidity

• High Moisture levels will dilute the oxygen concentration, decreasing the concentration of oxygen being monitored by the Oxygen Sensor.
• High humidity can cause condensation to collect on the Oxygen Sensor, obstructing the passages and reducing the effectiveness of Oxygen Sensor.

CAUTION

To reduce the effects of humidity on the Sensor:
DO NOT USE the Oxygen Sensor in environments with greater than 95% humidity. Place the Oxygen Sensor upstream from the humidifier in a breathing circuit.

Effect of Pressure

CAUTION
The Oxygen Monitor is not equipped with automatic barometric pressure compensation.

• When the Oxygen Sensor is placed in a breathing circuit, the alternating “breathing” pressure cycles will be sensed as an increase in oxygen concentration. The concentration is not actually changing, but it appears to be due to the change in pressure.
• The following recommendation is provided to reduce the chances of pressure causing false readings.
• Calibrate the Precision Medical Oxygen Monitor using 100% Oxygen or room air at the same pressure and flow as the gas to be monitored.

Effects of Anesthetic Gases

Anesthetic Agent| Test Concentration| Oxygen Concentration Error
---|---|---
Helium| 50%, Balance Oxygen| 0%
Nitrous Oxide| 80%, Balance Oxygen| 0%
Carbon Dioxide| 10%, Balance Oxygen| 0%
Halothane| 4%| <1.5% Oxygen
Enflurane| 5%| <1.5% Oxygen
Isoflurane| 5%| <1.5% Oxygen
Sevoflurane| 5%| <1.5% Oxygen
Desflurane| 15%| <1.5% Oxygen*

Test mixture = 30% O2, balance 70% N2O except where noted.

Errors may vary based on concentrations and exposure times. These results meet or exceed the requirements of ISO 7767 and DIN EN 12598.

CAUTION
The Oxygen Sensor should not be used in the presence of flammable anesthetics such as Diethyl Ether or Cyclopropane.

Alarms
The Precision Medical Oxygen Monitor will store the HIGH/LOW alarm settings in memory after the Oxygen Monitor is turned “OFF”. The Oxygen Monitor is designed to prevent a crossing of the HIGH/LOW alarm settings. The LOW alarm cannot be set above the HIGH alarm and the High alarm cannot be set below than the LOW alarm.

Operator’s Position – Visual alarms are best viewed at a distance of 3 feet (1m) or less from the Oxygen Monitor along with the following conditions;

• the Operator has a visual acuity of 0 on the logMAR scale or 6-6 (20/20) vision(corrected if necessary),
• the viewpoint is at the Operator’s Position or at any point within an angle of 30° to the axis horizontal to the center of the plane of the monitoring display, and
• the ambient luminance in the range of 100 lx to 1 500 lx.

To Set Alarms

WARNING
Do Not set alarm limits to extreme values that can render the alarm system useless.

1. With the Power key ON.

2. Press the LOCK/UNLOCK key.

3. To set the HIGH Alarm: Press the HIGH ALARM SET key once. Press the UP and DOWN arrow keys until the desired value is displayed next to the Up arrow in the upper right corner of the display. Continuously pressing the arrow keys will move the value in increments of 5. Press the HIGH ALARM SET key to save the setting. A flashing Number indicates the Number can be changed. If no keys are pressed for 10 seconds, the setting will be saved and the Oxygen Monitor will revert to locked mode.

4. To set the LOW Alarm: Press the LOW ALARM SET key once. Press the  UP and DOWN arrow keys until the desired value is displayed next to the Down arrow in the lower right corner of the display.
   Continuously pressing the arrow keys will move the value in increments of 5. Press the LOW ALARM SET key to save the setting. A flashing Number indicates the Number can be changed. If no keys are pressed for 10 seconds, the setting will be saved and the Oxygen Monitor will revert to locked mode.
   To set the LOW Alarm below 18%: Press the LOW ALARM SET key once. Press the DOWN arrow key until 18% is displayed. Press and hold the LOCK/UNLOCK key down and press the DOWN arrow key to set the lower limit and then release the LOCK/UNLOCK key.

5. Lock the display by pressing the LOCK/UNLOCK key.

6. To disable the HIGH Alarm, raise the HIGH Alarm setting above 100%. “—” will be displayed next to the Up arrow on the display. The LOW alarm will still function while the HIGH alarm is disabled.

Alarm Situation
During a HIGH or LOW alarm.

1. Triple pulse alarm sounds.
2. The LED will flash.
3. The alarm Low/High set point will flash.
4. UP or DOWN Arrow will turn dark.
