OxyLite Pro User Manual Connecting / Disconnecting Sensors The OxyLite Pro supports pre-calibrated sensors featuring integrated ‘EEPROM’ electronic chips to provide true plug and play convenience. The electronic chip contains sensor-specific calibration information which is read and loaded by the monitor upon connection.
Figure 7: The touch screen display with no sensors connected Following monitor start up the display will initially show the default screen (OxyLite Pro XL model in this example). Figure 8: The touch screen display with 2 sensors connected The screen will concurrently display a trace and a numerical value of pO2 for each sensor connected.
OxyLite Pro User Manual Description of icons: The toolbar displays sensor summary information per channel in use, including the 6-digit sensor ID, days remaining until ‘recommended use-by date’ (35 in this example), and a graphical representation of accumulated sensor longevity remaining (bar).
OxyLite Pro is powered up. Displays the pulse rate (sampling rate) options screen. Changes to this function are NOT saved and will return to sensor defaults the next time the OxyLite Pro is powered up. Displays the screen ‘swipe’ sensitivity controls, used to set the sensitivity of the touch screen to swipe motions for controlling x-axis and y-axis scaling.

OxyLite Pro User Manual Accumulated sensor longevity remaining (hours). ‘ ’ indicates that the sensor remains within its accumulated longevity limits. ‘X’ indicates that sensor longevity has been exceeded. See further details below. Indicator for presence/integrity of sensor oxygen-sensitive ‘tip’.
Oxygen sensors are provided with a 2-year shelf life. Total shelf life is defined as the time from factory calibration until sensor expiry and is independent of sensor usage. The OxyLite Pro will not accept a sensor that has exceeded its 2-year shelf life.
OxyLite Pro User Manual The accumulated longevity status of a sensor is displayed schematically on the display toolbar and can be called up via the sensor status dialogue (see above). Upon reaching an accumulated usage of 48 hours, a warning is displayed on the touch screen display to alert the user that a further 2 hours of ‘grace’...
(140 mmHg) + (1.5% x 10 x 140) = 140 mmHg + 21 mmHg = 161 mmHg. i.e. in this instance the OxyLite will under read by 21 mmHg. To overcome this limitation, the OxyLite Pro is capable of real-time temperature compensation across a limited temperature range.

Independent temperature compensation per channel All OxyLite Pro channels feature an integrated temperature input. The measured oxygen value is automatically and continuously compensated where the channel is occupied by a combined oxygen/temperature sensor using the temperature measured by the integrated sensor thermocouple.
Compatibility requires a dedicated and free software Add-on for LabChart (the ‘Device Enabler’*), which supports automatic recognition of the Oxford Optronix monitor, the use of multiple Oxford Optronix monitors simultaneously and provides a choice of pre- loaded configuration settings specifically tailored to our monitors.
The dual-channel OxyLite Pro requires one such cable (carrying data for channels 1 and 2), while the 4-channel OxyLite Pro XL model requires two such cables (carrying data for channels 1 and 2, and 3 and 4, respectively).

4. C ARE OF Use of OxyLite Pro OxyLite Pro should only be operated on a secure, flat, horizontal surface and in ambient temperatures of 15°C to 30°C. Cleaning and Storage of OxyLite Pro The monitor enclosure may be surface-cleaned by wiping lightly using a soft cloth dampened with a commercial, nonabrasive cleaner.
Cleaning OxyLite Pro sensors are manufactured and packed in a controlled (clean) environment. The tips of OxyLite Pro sensors can be cleaned after use by gentle wiping with water, or saline-soaked cotton wool / cotton gauze. The oxygen sensing tips are fragile and can be damaged by attempts to clean them without due care and attention.
CAUTION Sterilization OxyLite Pro sensors are NOT supplied pre-sterilized. OxyLite Pro sensors are NOT capable of withstanding sterilisation by dry or moist heat (autoclaving). The materials and components used in OxyLite Pro sensors may be compatible with exposure to ETO (ethylene oxide) gas.
ROUBLESHOOTING AND AINTENANCE Troubleshooting If you experience a problem using the OxyLite Pro that you are unable to correct by reconnecting the sensor(s) and/or turning off and turning back on the monitor, please contact Oxford Optronix technical support (see p2 of this document).

OxyLite Pro User Manual The monitor is receiving power (the blue power-on indicator light is on) but is not booting to the usual ‘default’ screen Turn off the universal AC adapter, wait 2-3 minutes and try again. If the problem persists there is likely to be an electronic fault, in which case please contact technical support.

Generally speaking, unexpectedly low oxygen readings have a physiological root cause (where used in vivo). For example, the force exerted by the tip of an OxyLite Pro sensor can easily exceed capillary closing pressure. Low pO readings will result if this is the case.
OxyLite (i.e. 200mmHg). With very high pO the OxyLite Pro may no longer report an oxygen value and show an on-screen error state. Another possible source for unexpectedly high oxygen measurements is inappropriate temperature compensation (refer to section 3.8 above).
The monitor should be inspected regularly for signs of wear and tear. The OxyLite Pro monitor is supplied with a 2 year warranty. Please refer to the Terms and Conditions of the Warranty at the end of this user manual for further details.
Particular attention should be paid to protecting the touch-screen. For a small fee, Oxford Optronix can provide new original shipping cartons and foam inserts that will ensure safe transportation. Failure to pack the OxyLite Pro monitor appropriately for repair or service may result in potentially costly damage to the monitor during transit.
