Introduction Introduction Teledyne Analytical Instruments MX300-I Oxygen Monitor with alarms here after referred to as MX300-I is a portable instrument that provides fast and accurate oxygen monitoring and incorporates an audio/visual alarm capability. These instruments are designed to monitor up to 100% oxygen concentration in medical gas mixtures. Because they are microprocessor-based, the MX300-I instruments have a unique combination of features that make them very easy to use.
The alarm circuitry provides both an audible and visual alarm. 1.1 Applicable Standards The MX300-I units are built to meet or exceed regulatory and industry standards for use as a medical device. The instruments are designed, built and tested with the following applicable standards:...
Portable Oxygen Monitor Introduction 1.2 Features The MX300-I is a compact, versatile instrument capable of rapidly measuring the oxygen content of an atmosphere or environment accurately to ±2% over the range 0-100% oxygen. The following features are standard on the MX300-I instruments: Large easy to read 3 1/2 digit LCD display (see options) •...
A unique sensor fail/disconnect alarm is incorporated in the MX300-I to warn the user of a sensor problem. The√ SENSOR indicator Teledyne Analytical Instruments...
1.5.1 Sensor The MX300-I uses the Teledyne Class R17MED disposable oxygen sensor. The sensor is made up of a sensing cathode and anode (fuel) immersed in electrolyte and packaged in a small plastic container.

The oxygen level is calculated and then displayed on the liquid crystal display (LCD) on the front panel. In the MX300-I monitor, user-programmed high and low alarm set points are stored in random access memory (RAM), which resides within the microprocessor. The oxygen level calculated by the microprocessor is compared to these set points, and an alarm activated, if necessary.
THIS WILL DAMAGE THE EQUIPMENT. 2.1 Setup The MX300-I Portable Oxygen Monitor is suitable for use in many medical applications. The unit is equipped with a stand and can be used on a tabletop or wall mounted using mounting bracket. An optional pole mount clamp is also available.
THE SENSOR ALSO CONTAINS LEAD. LEAKING OR EXHAUSTED SENSORS SHOULD BE HANDLED AND DISPOSED OF IN ACCORDANCE WITH LOCAL REGULATIONS. CONTACT TELEDYNE FOR THE MATERIAL SAFETY DATA SHEET 2. Plug one end of the coiled cable into the jack receptacle on the back end of the R17MED sensor and secure in place with the capture nut located at the base of the connector.
Portable Oxygen Monitor Operation Figure 2-2: Sensor Cable Connection to Monitor Note: When the MX300-I instrument is used for diffusion sampling (i.e., incubators, tents, etc.), the plastic flow diverter must be removed from the R17MED sensor. If the sensor is used in breathing circuits, etc, the diverter must be used as shown in Figure 2-3.
Operation MX300-I 2.1.2 Mounting The MX300-I can be mounted in several ways depending on the optional equipment ordered at the time of purchase. See Section 1.3. 2.1.2.1 V-M OUNT DAPTER NSTALLATION The V-Mount Adapter consists of a matching plastic plate with integral V-grooves that attach to the rear of the instrument.

In the case of fresh batteries, it should illuminate all 5 segments from the left to the right end of the bar. 2.1.3 Calibration The MX300-I should be calibrated before each use and every 8 hours to maintain accuracy. Whenever new batteries are installed or removed for any reason, the oxygen monitor defaults to the calibration mode with the LCD display flashing 00.0.

100% or 20.9%. When the calibration is complete the LCD will display the gas value. Press the LOCK/UNLOCK key to save the calibration data. Note: The MX300-I can only be calibrated using 100% oxygen or room air 20.9%. Improper calibration or use of other gas √...
LOCK/UNLOCK key. When pressed the display will start flashing. To set the alarms on the MX300-I monitor (see Figure 2-8): 1. To set the HI alarm: Press the HI ALARM SET key once. Press the UP and DOWN arrow key until the desired value is displayed in the lower right corner of the display.
RS 232 signal is output from the output port shown in Figure 2-8. Use the optional RS 232 Interface Cable (P/N B-75555) available from Teledyne for connection to a standard RS 232 port on a computer or other suitably equipped digital device.
BE CONNECTED TO AN EN60601-1/IEC60606-1 APPROVED DEVICE. To reconfigure the analyzer from a digital (RS 232) output to analog (0-1 VDC) output, use the same procedure except in step 3 remove the jumper from JP7 and replace it at JP3. Teledyne Analytical Instruments...
Also check calibration, the sensor for leaks and damage, and the alarm settings. The AX/MX300-I instruments can be used to measure a gas mixture for oxygen in two basic modes: In the inhalation side of breathing circuit ahead of •...
As with all oxygen sensors, excessive condensation on the sensing surface of the R17MED will block the diffusion of oxygen to the sensor, rendering it inoperative. We recommend installing the sensor on the dry side of the breathing circuit at all times. Teledyne Analytical Instruments...
This is way it is important to calibrate the MX300-I oxygen sensor at regular intervals. It is recommended that the unit be calibrated prior to each use or every 8 hours.
(i.e., a blender, incubator or anesthesia machine). The information obtained from the MX300-I should never be used to adjust a life-support system, but should only be used as an indication that the life support system or device may require service and/or calibration.
* Errors are approximate and may vary based on exposure times and concentrations. These performances meet or exceed the requirements of ISO 7767: 1997 (E). CAUTION: THE MX300-I SHOULD NOT BE USED IN THE PRESENCE OF FLAMMABLE ANESTHETICS SUCH AS DIETHYL ETHER OR CYCLOPROPANE. CAUTION: THE MX300-I, OXYGEN SENSOR AND ASSOCIATED HARDWARE ARE NON-STERILE DEVICES.
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). Contact Teledyne for the Material Safety Data Sheet. 2.3.6 Cleaning The MX300-I and R17MED sensor are non-sterile devices.
