Use only genuine Maxtec accessories and replacement parts. Failure to do so may seri-
◆
ously impair the analyzer's performance. Repair of this equipment must be performed by a
qualified service technician experienced in repair of portable hand held equipment.
Calibrate the MaxN2+ Analyzer weekly when in operation, or if environmental conditions
◆
change significantly. (ie, Elevation, Temperature, Pressure, Humidity — refer to Section 3.0
of this manual).
Use of the MaxN2+ Analyzernear devices that generate electrical fields may cause erratic
◆
readings.
If the MaxN2+ Analyzer is ever exposed to liquids (from spills or immersion) or to any other
◆
physical abuse, turn the instrument OFF and then ON. This will allow the unit to go through
its self test to assure everything is operating correctly.
Never autoclave, immerse or expose the MaxN2+Analyzer (including sensor) to high tem-
◆
peratures (>70°C). Never expose the device to pressure, irradiation vacuum, steam, or
chemicals.
This device does not contain automatic barometric pressure compensation.
◆
Although the sensor of this device has been tested with various gases including nitrous
◆
oxide, Halothane, Isoflurane, Enflurane, Sevoflurane and Desflurane and found to have
acceptably low interference, the device in entirety (including electronics) is not suitable for
use in the presence of a flammable anesthetic mixture with air or with oxygen or nitrous
oxide. Only the threaded sensor face, flow diverter, and "T" adapter may be allowed to
contact such a gas mixture.
NOT for use with inhalation agents. Operating the device in flammable or explosive atmo-
◆
spheres may result in fire or explosion.
CAUTIONS

If the unit is going to be stored (not in use for 1 month), we recommend that you remove
◆
the batteries to protect the unit from potential battery leakage.

DO NOT immerse the sensor in any cleaning solution, autoclave or expose the sensor to
high temperatures.
Dropping sensor can adversely affect its performance.
◆
The device will assume a percent oxygen concentration when calibrating. Be sure to apply
◆
100% oxygen, or ambient air concentration to the device during calibration or the device
will not calibrate correctly.
NOTE: This product is latex free.
