To clean the Accriva AVOXimeter 1000E Optical Detector, follow these steps:
1. Disconnect the AVOXimeter 1000E from the AC adapter. 2. Use a #0 Phillips screwdriver to remove the four screws from the bottom of the instrument. 3. Hold the upper and lower covers together and place the instrument upright with the keypad to the right. 4. Carefully lift the upper cover while keeping it parallel to the lower part until it is free of the rear panel. 5. Locate and disconnect the battery cable from the J302 connector on the main circuit board. 6. Tilt the upper cover backward to fully expose the main circuit board and small circuit board.
Ensure that these steps are performed only after the AC adapter is completely disconnected from both the instrument and the power source.

Important Labels and Symbols Before using the AVOXimeter 1000E, it is essential that the contents of this Operator’s Manual, any labels on the instrument or its packaging, and instructions accompanying AVOXimeter 1000E cuvettes are read and understood by the operator. These materials make reference to...
In addition, up to three liquid control lot numbers for each level of liquid QC can be stored in the AVOXimeter 1000E and can be tagged to the stored or printed liquid QC records. The instruments can also be configured so that only authorized operators can operate the system and that patient IDs are required for each test run.
1.39 is the ml of oxygen assumed to be carried by one gram of oxygenated hemoglobin (Hϋfner’s Number). Depending on your facility protocols, the Hϋfner’s Number stored in the AVOXimeter 1000E can be set at any value in the range of 1.30 to 1.39 (see page 25). Note:...
Saturation Step-Ups Saturation step-ups are the differences in oxyhemoglobin saturation [%Hb02] between adjacent anatomical sites. These values are used as an aid in diagnosing intracardiac and great vessel shunts. The AVOXimeter 1000E calculates saturation step-ups between the following anatomical sites: ●...
Page 10
● Left ventricle and aorta When calculating saturation step-ups, the AVOXimeter 1000E searches the database for all results for each main oximetry site for that patient (sub-sites are ignored), averages the results for each site, and then calculates the saturation step-ups from the average result for each main site.
(above 35°C, 95°F). Such exposure could affect the performance of any type of electronic instrumentation. ● DO NOT drop the AVOXimeter 1000E instrument, and do not use the results if the instrument is dropped during a test. ● Only properly qualified personnel should attempt to open and perform work on the AVOXimeter 1000E instrument as identified in this manual.
AVOXimeter 1000E Operator’s Manual 2 Description The AVOXimeter 1000E is a Point of Care device for use at the bedside. It contains a test chamber which performs all operations to measure the oxyhemoglobin saturation (%Hb0 ), total hemoglobin (THb), and oxygen content (O ) of a whole blood sample after the operator inserts a test cuvette containing the sample into the test chamber.
AVOXimeter 1000E Operator’s Manual Figure 2. Front Panel Keypad The routine analysis of blood samples does not require the use of menus or the numeric keypad. However, these enable the user to take advantage of many useful features. The purpose of each key is summarized below: Purpose Switch the instrument on.
