BACKPRESSURE OR RESTRICTION TO FLOW.

ERRORS IN READINGS WILL RESULT IF THIS IS

NOT FOLLOWED.

THE OXYGEN SENSOR IS A NON-STERILE DEVICE AND SHOULD BE USED IN CONJUCTION WITH AN ANTIBACTERIAL FILTER. ALWAYS INSTALL THE SENSOR ON THE INSPIRED LINE AHEAD OF FILTERS, HUMIDIFIERS AND MEDICATING DEVICES. NEVER INSTALL THE SENSOR IN A LOCATION THAT WILL EXPOSE THE SENSOR TO PATIENTS EXHALED BREATH OR SECRETIONS UNLESS YOU INTEND TO DISPOSE OF THE SENSOR AND FLOW ADAPTER AFTER USE.

When analyzing for oxygen in confined volumes such as incubators, hoods, etc., the flow diverter must be removed from the R17MED sensor so that it does not interfere with the rapid exchange of gases to and from the sensing surface of the sensor.

CAUTION: FAILURE TO REMOVE THE DIVERTER IN THESE APPLICATION AREAS WILL RESULT IN A MARKED LOWERING OF THE RESPONSE TIME OF THE SENSOR.

The R17MED sensor can be placed or hung inside incubators, tents, etc. When it is necessary to thread the cable through a small hole in order to gain access to the inside of a chamber, the cable should be disconnected at the sensor, threaded through the hole, and reconnected inside the chamber.

The LOCK/UNLOCK key can be used to lock out any accidental interference to the front panel keys. The LOCK/UNLOCK key acts as a toggle, pressing LOCK/UNLOCK once renders inactive all keys except the ALARM SILENCE () key. Pressing LOCK/UNLOCK a second time unlocks the keypad.
