The AX300 analyzer is intended for spot-checking the concentra-
tion of oxygen in gas mixtures used in applications such as Anesthesia
gas delivery and Respiratory care, and is intended for adult, pediatric
and neonatal populations.

1.4 Operation Summary

The AX300 analyzer uses Teledyne Analytical Instruments' Pa-
tented R17MED oxygen sensor. The sensor output is used to determine
the oxygen gas concentration that is displayed on the LCD screen. The
concentration alarm of AX300 analyzer is non-defeatable and will alarm
when the oxygen concentration falls below the threshold of 18%. This
alarm is tied to sensor fail/disconnect alarm that will also warn the user
of a possible sensor problem when the oxygen concentration is less than
18%. When a fault is detected, the SENSOR indicator is displayed on
the LCD, and the audible and visual alarms are activated.
The Class R17MED oxygen sensor is a disposable sensor. The sen-
sor has a cathode (sensing electrode), an anode (counter electrode), and
a compatible electrolyte, and is packaged in a small plastic sensor body.
Oxygen entering the sensor reacts with the anode and a proportional cur-
