Principle Of Operation; Warnings - Maxtec UltraMaxO2 Operating Manual & Instructions For Use

PRINCIPLE OF OPERATION:

The UltraMaxO Oxygen Analyzer measures oxygen concentration and flow using
2
ultrasound technology and measures pressure using a piezoresistive silicon
pressure sensor.

WARNINGS:

Indicates a potentially hazardous situation, if not avoided, could result in death or
serious injury.
• Not for use in an MRI environment.
• Improper use of the UltraMaxO
improper treatment and/or patient harm. Follow the procedures outlined in this
user manual.
• The UltraMaxO
• DO NOT use the UltraMaxO
• DO NOT use the UltraMaxO
when flowing at rates lower than its optimal performance as specified by the
concentrator manufacturer; generally 4 LPM or less on concentrators that have a
maximum flow of 10 LPM, and 1 LPM or less on concentrators that have a maximum
flow of 5 LPM.
• Not for use in anesthesia applications or for measuring oxygen concentration from
any sources other than conventional oxygen concentrators.
• Not for use with inhalation agents. Operating the UltraMaxO
explosive environments may result in fire or explosion.
• Not suitable for use in the presence of flammable anesthetic mixtures.
• Users must become thoroughly familiar with the information contained in this
