Before use, all individuals who will be using the MAXO2® + must become thoroughly familiar with the information contained in this Operation Manual. Strict adherence to the operating instructions is necessary for safe, effective product performance.
This product will perform only as designed if installed and operated in accordance with the manufacturer’s operating instructions.
Use only genuine Maxtec® accessories and replacement parts. Failure to do so may seriously impair the analyzer’s performance. Repair or alteration of the MAXO2® + beyond the scope of the maintenance instructions, or by anyone other than an authorized Maxtec® service person, could cause the product to fail to perform as designed.
Calibrate the MAXO2® + weekly when in operation, or if environmental conditions change significantly. (ie, Elevation, Temperature, Pressure, Humidity — refer to Section 3.0 of this manual).
Use of the MAXO2® + near devices that generate electrical fields may cause erratic readings.
If the MAXO2® + is ever exposed to liquids (from spills or immersion) or to any other physical abuse, turn the instrument OFF and then ON. This will allow the unit to go through its self test to assure everything is operating correctly.
Never autoclave, immerse or expose the MAXO2® + (including sensor) to high temperatures (>70°C). Never expose the device to pressure, irradiation vacuum, steam, or chemicals.
NOTE: Replace the batteries with recongnized high quality AA Alkaline or Lithium batteries.
NOTE: If the unit is going to be stored (not in use for 1 month), we recommend that you remove the batteries to protect the unit from potential battery leakage.
FAILURE TO COMPLY WITH THESE WARNINGS AND CAUTIONS COULD RESULT IN INSTRUMENT DAMAGE AND POSSIBLY JEOPARDIZE THE WELL BEING OF THE PATIENT AND/OR HEALTH CARE PROFESSIONAL.
