Introduction The Teledyne Analytical Instruments AX300 Oxygen Analyzer, he- reinafter referred to as AX300 or analyzer, is a portable analyzer de- signed to analyze oxygen concentration in medical gas mixtures. Oxy- gen analysis is linear across the single range of 0-100% using Tele- dyne’s class R17MED oxygen sensor.
THIS VERSION OF THE ANALYZER. IT IS DESIGNED IN FOR ANY POSSIBLE FUTURE PRODUCT MODIFICATION. 1.1 Features The following features are standard on the AX300: Large easy to read 3½-digit LCD (see options) Automatic LCD back lighting upon key press ...
R17MED oxygen sensor. The sensor output is used to determine the oxygen gas concentration that is displayed on the LCD screen. The concentration alarm of AX300 analyzer is non-defeatable and will alarm when the oxygen concentration falls below the threshold of 18%. This...

If the keys are unlocked and no keys are pressed, the analyzer will revert to the locked mode within nine seconds. 2.1 Setup To use your AX300 analyzer, first install the batteries, then install the oxy- gen sensor and then, calibrate the analyzer using the steps outlined in section 2.1.4.
Figure 2-2: Sensor Cable Connection to Analyzer Note: Cable shown is for illustration purposes only. Note: Do not use the plastic flow diverter with the R17MED sensor when the sensor is used for diffusion sampling (such as with oxygen tents, incubators, etc.). When Teledyne Analytical Instruments...

The bar graph indicator is continuously on when the analyzer is powered on. 2.1.4 Calibration The AX300 should be calibrated before each use and every 8 hours to main- tain accuracy. When batteries are removed for any reason or when new batteries are in- stalled, the oxygen analyzer defaults to the calibration mode with the LCD dis- play flashing 00.0.
1-2 liters per minute. Note: An accessory calibration assembly (P/N C53790) is available from Teledyne for use with the R17MED sensor 5. Wait about 20 seconds to ensure that the sample line is completely purged with the calibration gas.
Once the analyzer reaches the locked mode, press the LOCK/UNLOCK key and press the CAL key to repeat calibration. Note: The AX300 can only be calibrated using certified medical grade 100% oxygen or ambient level air (20.9% Oxygen). Improper calibration or use of other gas con- ...
RS 232 signal is output from the output port shown in Figure 2-8. Use the optional RS 232 Interface Cable (P/N B-75555) available from Teledyne for connection to a standard RS 232 port on a computer or other suitably equipped digital device.

Note: Prior to every use, always test the batteries, check the sensor for any leaks or damage, and check the analyzer calibration. The AX300 analyzer can be used to measure a gas mixture for oxygen in two basic modes: In the inhalation side of breathing system upstream of any antibac- ...
The only time that these analyzers can accurately read per- centages is when the total pressure does not vary over time between calibrations and use. For this reason, it is important to calibrate the AX300 oxygen analyzer (with R17MED oxygen sensor) at regular intervals. It is recommended that the unit be calibrated prior to each use or every 8 hours.
2.3.4 Discrepancy in Readings When a discrepancy in oxygen readings is detected, the oxygen analyzer’s readings should be verified by checking the AX300 battery condition and cali- bration using 100% oxygen. If the analyzer can be calibrated, the unit can be as- sumed to be in good working order.
* Errors are approximate and may vary based on exposure times and concentra- tions. These performances meet or exceed the requirements of ISO 7767: 1997 (E). CAUTION: THE AX300 SHOULD NOT BE USED IN THE PRESENCE OF FLAM- MABLE ANESTHETICS SUCH AS DIETHYL ETHER OR CYCLOPRO- PANE. CAUTION: THE ANALYZER, THE OXYGEN SENSOR AND ASSOCIATED HARDWARE ARE NON-STERILE DEVICES.
Portable Oxygen Analyzer Operating Instructions 2.3.6 Cleaning The AX300 and R17MED sensor are non-sterile devices. The oxygen analyzer, oxygen sensor, and sensor interconnection cable may be cleaned by wiping the surfaces with isopropyl alcohol or a mild cleaning solu- tion.

Refer to Section 2.3 of this manual. 3.7 Troubleshooting The AX300 oxygen analyzer provides a variety of built-in safety features that prevent its use when a fault is detected. When a unit displays the message √ SENSOR and sounds the audible and visual alarm continuously, it is an indication of a faulty connection between the sensor and the unit or an expired or faulty sensor.
