After exposure to nitrous oxide mixtures, the sensor should be left in 100% oxygen overnight (e.g., left in a breathing circuit that has been flushed with pure oxygen). If this is not practical, when using the Tee, remove the plastic flow diverter and leave the sensor in room air. If the oxygen reading continues to drop after each use in nitrous oxide the sensor should be removed from service. If the sensor can no longer be calibrated or if there is any sign of electrolyte leakage, the sensor should be disposed of in accordance with local regulations and the Material Safety Data Sheet (MSDS). Contact Teledyne for the Material Safety Data Sheet.
2.3.6 Cleaning
The
The oxygen analyzer, oxygen sensor, and sensor interconnection cable may be cleaned by wiping the surfaces with isopropyl alcohol or a mild cleaning solution.
Before placing instrument in operation make sure all surfaces are dry and unit is properly calibrated.
When cleaning, do not allow liquids or moisture to enter the instrument or sensor internal cavities. Do not allow the cleaning solution to come in contact with the electrical connections. Do not immerse the instrument, oxygen sensor or sensor interconnection cable in water or any other liquid.
Do not expose the instrument, oxygen sensor and interconnection cable to steam, ethylene oxide, or radiation sterilization.
2.4 Do’s and Don’ts
– DO –
•Read all of the directions before using for the first time.
•Calibrate every 8 hours or before every use.
•Visually inspect the sensor for leakage before each use.
•Calibrate using 100% oxygen and check in air.
•Check the HI and LO alarm settings prior to each use.
