In order to obtain optimum performance, the operation of the device must be performed in accordance with these Instructions for Use. Maintenance should be performed only by trained personnel authorized by the manufacturer. 2 Quality Control Certification 1.
3 Safety Warnings ALWAYS follow the statements below as they are essential to reducing the risk of use error due to ergonomic features of the device or the environment in which the device is intended to be used. NEVER operate the device in any manner described below doing so may compromise the clinical condition or the safety of patients, users or other persons. If the reading is unstable or a malfunction is suspected. After the ‘ERR’ or ‘LO’ messages are displayed on the LCD.
4 Start-Up 4.1 Contents of Shipping Container: The contents include: Palm O2 Oxygen Analyzer P-1088 Instruction for Use Note: See section 6.5 for remote sensor option and Section 8.1 for optional accessories. The device is shipped with the batteries and oxygen sensor installed at the factory and is ready for calibration and use. Any optional equipment is secured in a plastic bags and stored next to the analyzer in the shipping container. Inspect the box and contents for shipping damage.
Procedure Calibrate: (a) with a known source of dry air, 21% or 100% oxygen before using each day or after 8 hours of continuous use; (b) when the temperature or pressure of the operating environment changes; (c) if the oxygen sensor has been disconnected and reconnected; (d) after the battery or oxygen sensor has been replaced. 1. Expose the sensor to the calibration gas (refer to preceding section) for approximately 30 seconds to allow the sensor to stabilize. 2.
5.2 Application Considerations 5 Operation 5.1 Principle of Operation The Palm O2 Oxygen Analyzer utilizes an electrochemical galvanic fuel cell type oxygen sensor of the type that is extensively used to measure oxygen concentrations from 0% to 100% in gas streams.
Effect of Humidity The analyzer is not affected by non-condensing relative humidity (RH). However, the addition of water vapor or moisture increases the total pressure thereby diluting or decreasing the oxygen concentration of the gas mixture resulting in a lower oxygen reading. Effect of Condensation Excessive condensation collecting on the sensing area or the electrical connections at the rear of the sensors can adversely impact the performance of electrochemical sensors.
Procedure: 6 Maintenance Review Section 3 Safety Warnings and Section 7 Troubleshooting for guidelines on servicing the devices. 6.1 Serviceability Do not open the main compartment of the analyzer, as it contains no serviceable parts inside. Never attempt to repair the analyzer or sensor by yourself as you may damage the analyzer which could void the warranty. 6.1.
4. 5. 6.5 Oxygen Sensor Replacement - Optional Remote Sensor The design of the electronics is intended for only the Analytical Industries Inc. AII-11-75-PO2 or AII-11-75-PO2R Oxygen Sensors. Use of a different oxygen sensor may result in an erroneous oxygen reading. Remove the oxygen sensor, FIG 4: (a) Lift up the rear of the sensor where the connector wires are attached.
8 Specifications 7 Troubleshooting If the recommended corrective action does not resolve the problem return the device to the factory for service. Symptom Corrective Action Device appears to be physically damaged Turn device ON – if it successful passes calibration – proceed No display when analyzer is turned ON Replace batteries Check battery polarity Check and/or clean battery contacts ‘LO’ displayed when analyzer is turned ON or in use.
8.1 Spare Parts & Optional Accessories Notes: Spare Parts: AII-11-75-PO2I-W Oxygen Sensor BATT-1008 Battery (2x) 1.
9 Warranty 10 Material Safety Data Sheet (MSDS) Coverage Under normal operating conditions, the analyzer and sensors are warranted to be free of defects in materials and workmanship for the period specified in the current published specifications.
