5.3. Oxygen Sensor Replacement
Be sure to dispose of spent, leaking, or damaged Oxygen Sensors properly, according to
local regulations.
Do not swallow (ingest) either the electrolyte from the Oxygen Sensor or the Sensor
itself. The Potassium Hydroxide chemical contained in the Sensor can cause severe
injury or death. If electrolyte or the Sensor is swallowed, seek medical attention
immediately.
If after handling the Oxygen Analyzer or Sensor, you find that your fingers or other parts
of your body feel "slippery" or the skin or eyes sting, immediately flush affected area
with clean, fresh water for at least 15 minutes. The stinging or slippery sensation is an
indication of a leaking Sensor. The Potassium Hydroxide chemical contained in the
Sensor can cause severe injury or death. Seek immediate medical attention if eye
contact is made or skin stinging persists.
Handling Sensors
Replacement Sensors are supplied in sealed bags. Normally Sensors do not present a health
hazard. Before opening the bag, check that the electrolyte has not leaked. However, if
electrolyte leakage has occurred, do not open bag. Dispose of Sensor properly or return for
replacement.
If electrolyte leakage occurs while the Sensor is in service, use rubber gloves and chemical
splash goggles for handling. Rinse contaminated surfaces thoroughly with water.
Electrolyte First Aid Procedures
• Ingestion - Drink a large volume of fresh water. Do not induce vomiting. Get immediate
medical attention.
• Eye Contact - Flush eyes with clean, fresh water for at least 15 minutes and get medical
help immediately.
• Skin Contact - Flush the affected area with clean, fresh water for at least 15 minutes and
removed contaminated clothing. If stinging persists get medical attention.
