* 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 MX300 SHOULD NOT BE USED IN THE PRESENCE OF FLAM-
MABLE ANESTHETICS SUCH AS DIETHYL ETHER OR CYCLOPRO-
PANE.
CAUTION: THE MONITOR, THE OXYGEN SENSOR AND ASSOCIATED HARD-
WARE ARE NON-STERILE DEVICES. DO NOT AUTOCLAVE THE
MONITOR OR SENSOR, AS THIS WILL DAMAGE THE EQUIPMENT.

2.3.5.2 Care After Use in Nitrous Oxide

CAUTION: THE R17MED SENSOR SHOULD NOT BE LEFT IN NITROUS OXIDE
MIXTURES ANY LONGER THAN NECESSARY.
After exposure to nitrous oxide mixtures, the sensor should be left in 100%
oxygen overnight (e.g., left in a breathing system that has been flushed with pure
oxygen). If this is not practical, when using the tee, remove the plastic flow di-
verter and leave the sensor in room air. If the oxygen reading continues to drop
after each use in nitrous oxide, the sensor should be removed from service. If the
sensor can no longer be calibrated or if there is any sign of electrolyte leakage,
the sensor should be disposed of in accordance with local regulations and the
Material Safety Data Sheet (MSDS) available through Teledyne.
