5.63 x 10 milligrams H O per cubic meter of non-condensible gas. DO NOT disassemble the MAXBlend2. All service should be performed by a Maxtec Certified Service Technician. DO NOT use humidified oxygen to calibrate this system. » Be sure the MAXBlend2 is securely mounted. This device is usually mounted to a hospital rail system or an infusion stand.
CAUTION: The MAX-550E oxygen sensor is a sealed device containing a mild acid electrolyte and lead (Pb). These materials are hazardous waste constituents and should be disposed of properly, or returned to Maxtec for proper disposal or recovery. CAUTION: Dropping or severely jarring the sensor after calibration may shift the calibration point enough to require re-calibration.
