Operation

MX300

 

 

 

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.
