MaxO2 ME+p Monitor).
Use of the MaxO

physical abuse, turn the instrument OFF, remove batteries and allow to dry completely, then
power ON. This will allow the unit to go through its self test and make sure everything is
operating correctly.
Never autoclave, immerse in liquid or expose the MaxO
◆
temperatures (>50°C). Never expose the device to liquid, pressure, irradiation vacuum,
steam, or chemicals.
To protect the unit from potential leaky battery damage always remove batteries when the
◆
unit is going to be stored (not in use for 30 days or more) and replace dead batteries with
recognized name brand AA Alkaline batteries.
DO NOT use rechargeable batteries.
DO NOT attempt to replace oxygen sensor or batteries while the device is in use.
This device does not contain automatic barometric pressure compensation.
◆
Not for use in an MRI environment.
◆
Battery replacement by inadequately trained personnel could result in a safety hazard.
◆
Electrical shock or damage to the equipment may occur if an inappropriate external power
◆
supply is used. Maxtec recommends using only the Maxtec approved external power supply,
as listed in 10.0 Spare Parts and Accessories.
NOTE: The MaxO
ME+p monitor has been manufactured with a low alarm setting adjustable

◆
down to 15% that requires deliberate action to set it below 18%. See section 3.1 Alarm Setting
Procedure.
DO NOT clean or dry the MaxO
ME+p with a high pressure air gun. Applying high pressure
2
air to the MaxO
ME+p may damage components and render the system inoperable.
2
DO NOT over clean the MaxO
ME+p. Repeated use of a cleaning agent can cause residue
2
buildup on critical components. Excessive residue buildup can affect the MaxO
performance.
When cleaning the MaxO
ME+p:

DO NOT sterilize the MaxO
ME+p. Standard sterilization techniques may damage the

monitor.
If the MaxO
ME+p does not function as outlined in section 2.0, contact a Maxtec trained
◆

service technician or Maxtec for service.
DO NOT disassemble the MaxO2 MaxO2 ME+p. All service should be performed by a Maxtec
Certified Service Technician.
DO NOT allow the sensor to come in contact with exhaled patient gases or other potential
sources of contamination. The sensor face cannot be decontaminated if it comes in con-
tact with infectious agents.
Gas leaks that cause room air to mix with the gas sample may cause inaccurate oxygen read-
◆
ings. Ensure the O-rings on the sensor and flow diverter are in place and intact prior to use.
DO NOT expose the sensor face to liquids or allow humidity to condense on the face of the
sensor as this may impair the function of the MaxO

Regularly inspect the MaxO

leakage prior to use.
DO NOT use if damaged.
DO NOT obstruct alarm.
DO NOT smoke in an area where oxygen is being administered.
The MaxO
ME+p may only be calibrated using 20.9% oxygen (room air) or 100% oxygen.
◆
2
Calibration at other concentrations will result in inaccurate readings.
The oxygen sensor should be operated in an upright position (sensor face downwards).
◆
Operating the oxygen sensor upside down may cause the sensor to function improperly.
When using the approved external power supply, functional batteries must also be installed
◆
in the device. The device will not operate solely on the external power supply.
To reduce the risk of cross contamination, only single use pressure monitoring line with an
◆
inline filter should be used with this device.
DO NOT allow liquids or debris to enter the pressure monitor port.
Replace the pressure monitoring line if condensation build-up occurs.
◆
In order to reduce the potential issues associated with condensation, the pressure monitor-
◆
ing line connector should be positioned at least 10 inches (25cm) below the monitor.
DO NOT use for pressure in excess of 60 cmH
DO NOT connect pressure monitoring line to patient IV line.
Secure the pressure monitoring line to avoid kinks and unintended disconnects.
◆
Any serious incident that has occurred in relation to the device should be reported to the
◆
manufacturer and the competent authority of the European Member State in which the user
and/or patient is established as applicable.
