R213M15K.qxd 6/26/2006 8:59 AM Page i PREFACE This manual describes the function, operation and maintenance of the Maxtec Model OM-25A hand-held oxygen analyzer. A member of Maxtec's MAXO2 analyzer line of oxygen analyzers and monitors, the OM-25A utilizes the MAX-250 oxygen sensor and is engineered for fast response, maximum reliability and stable performance. The OM-25A is designed primarily for spot-checking oxygen concentration delivered by oxygen concentrator units, however, its intern

R213M15K.qxd 6/26/2006 8:59 AM Page ii To avoid explosion, do not operate the oxygen analyzer in the presence of flammable anesthetics or in an atmosphere of explosive gases. Operating the oxygen analyzer in flammable or explosive atmospheres may result in fire or explosion. Never allow an excess length tubing near the patient’s head or neck, as such could result in strangulation. Before use, all individuals who will be using the MAXO2 must become thoroughly familiar with the information con

SET-UP PROCEDURE 2.1 Battery Installation All MAXO2 analyzer units are powered by two, AA alkaline batteries (2 x 1.5 Volts) and are shipped without the batteries installed. The battery compartment is accessible from the back side of the unit. To install the batteries: 1) With the thumb, press down on the center of the battery compartment cover and slide the cover off of the instrument case. 2) Install the two, AA, alkaline batteries (2 x 1.5 Vol

R213M15K.qxd 6/26/2006 8:59 AM Page 8 It is best to calibrate the MAXO2 analyzer to a known documented oxygen concentration at a pressure and flow similar to your clinical application. Calibrating the MAXO2 analyzer at lower concentrations with a known oxygen value is also acceptable and may provide additional accuracy if the calibration gas is closer to the environment in which the MAXO2 analyzer will be used. A “known” value of oxygen is defined as an oxygen source which has a traceable cer

Note: If the message "CAL", followed by the message "Er" flashes on the display after entering the desired calibration value, the system has determined that the entered value will not allow operation within the specified output range of the sensor. This situation may occur if: a) the operator has inadve

The unit will automatically enter the “LOCKED” condition and return to normal operation. 2.2.4 Factors Influencing Calibration 2 The primary factors influencing the MAXO analyzer are temperature, pressure, and humidity. Effects of Temperature The MAXO2 analyzer will hold calibration and read correctly within ±3% when in thermal equilibrium within the operating temperature range. The device must be the

R213M15K.qxd 6/26/2006 8:59 AM Page 11 Humidity Effect Humidity has no effect on the performance of the MAXO2 analyzer other than diluting the gas, as long as there is no condensation. Depending on the humidity, the gas may be diluted by as much as 4%, which proportionally reduces the oxygen concentration from the dry concentration. Environments where condensation may occur are to be avoided since condensate may obstruct passage of gas to the sensing surface, resulting in erroneous readings a

PROBLEM SOLVING • If the "LOW BAT" icon is displayed on the LCD readout at any time, the batteries should be replaced as soon as possible. • When the unit is in the power on mode and the LCD displays "000%," the sensor is not connected properly. Check the sensor connection and if the condition persists, contact the Maxtec Customer Service. • If, at any time, "ErX" (i.e. Er1, Er4, etc.) appears on the LCD readout, contact the Maxtec Customer

R213M15K.qxd 6/26/2006 8:59 AM Page 16 8.3 Calibration Errors The MAXO2 analyzers have a self test feature built into the software to detect faulty calibrations. During calibration, if the signal from the oxygen sensor is outside the limits stored within the instrument’s memory, a flashing “CAL Er” is displayed. The error code is displayed to indicate that either the sensor should be replaced or that there is a fault in the calibration process. A few simple hints can prevent calibration
