PRINCIPLE OF OPERATION:

The UltraMaxO2 Oxygen Analyzer measures oxygen concentration and flow using
ultrasound technology and measures pressure using a piezoresistive silicon
pressure sensor.

WARNINGS:

Indicates a potentially hazardous situation, if not avoided, could result in death or
serious injury.

• Not for use in an MRI environment.

• Improper use of the UltraMaxO2 can cause inaccurate oxygen readings leading to

improper treatment and/or patient harm. Follow the procedures outlined in this

user manual.

• The UltraMaxO2 is for checking oxygen concentrators only.

• DO NOT use the UltraMaxO2 for continuous oxygen monitoring.

• DO NOT use the UltraMaxO2 to measure the oxygen concentration of a concentrator

when flowing at rates lower than its optimal performance as specified by the
concentrator manufacturer; generally 4 LPM or less on concentrators that have a
maximum flow of 10 LPM, and 1 LPM or less on concentrators that have a maximum
flow of 5 LPM.

• Not for use in anesthesia applications or for measuring oxygen concentration from
any sources other than conventional oxygen concentrators.

• Not for use with inhalation agents. Operating the UltraMaxO2 in flammable or
explosive environments may result in fire or explosion.

• Not suitable for use in the presence of flammable anesthetic mixtures.

• Users must become thoroughly familiar with the information contained in this
