MaxTech OM-25ME operating instructions Preface

PREFACE

This manual describes the function, operation and maintenance of the Maxtec Model OM-25ME and OM-25ME-L oxygen monitors. Notes are included where differences may occur between the two monitors. As members of Maxtec's MAXO2 line of oxygen analyzers and monitors, the OM-25ME utilizes the Maxtec MAX-250E oxygen sensor and is engineered for fast response, maximum reliability and stable performance. The OM-25ME is designed primarily for continuous monitoring of oxygen levels delivered by medical oxygen delivery equipment and respiratory care systems. Adjustable high and low level alarm setpoints make the OM-25ME ideal for use in neo-natal, anesthesia, and respiratory care.
