MiniOX® 3000 Oxygen Monitor
Section 1
Introduction
The MiniOX® 3000 Oxygen Monitor provides continuous, direct monitoring of oxygen mixtures in a variety of applications, including:
•Respiratory Therapy (e.g., respirators, ventilators, pediatric incubators)
•Anesthesiology (e.g., anesthesia machines)
•Oxygen Therapy (e.g., oxygen tents)
The monitor is for use by trained health care professionals:
•under the supervision, or on the order, of a physician
•in a hospital or clinical setting
•during emergency transport
General Description
Battery-operated and microprocessor-controlled, the MiniOX® 3000 Oxygen Monitor measures oxygen concentrations in the 0% to 100% range. The monitor’s performance features ensure reliable and accurate oxygen measurement. These features include:
•calibration function
•high and low oxygen concentration alarms
•low and depleted battery alarms
•oxygen sensor indicator
•automatic error detection
•battery test
•oxygen alarm test
The calibration function allows calibration of the device against room air (defined as oxygen
concentration of 20.8%) or 100% O2. Audible and visual alarms alert the operator when monitor calibration is required.
High and low oxygen concentration alarms may be set in the ranges of:
•16% to 100% (high alarm) and
•15% to 99% (low alarm)
or the default high/low settings may be used (50% and 18%, respectively). Audible and visual alarms activate when oxygen concentrations:
Section 1, Introduction
•fall below the preset (or default) low alarm setting
•rise above the preset (or default) high alarm setting
The MiniOX® 3000 Oxygen Monitor:
•detects low and depleted battery conditions
•activates audible and visual alarms
•alarms for:
•sensor disconnection or malfunction
•various internal operating errors
The MiniOX® 3000 Oxygen Monitor conducts selfchecks:
•at power-up (battery installation)
•at turn on
•during operation
Additionally, the monitor has two operator-initiated test functions:
•The Alarm Test verifies the operation of the high and low oxygen level alarms
•The Battery Test assesses the relative remaining battery life
The MiniOX® 3000 Oxygen Monitor consists of two components: the instrument and the oxygen sensor.
The front of the hand-held instrument features:
•a touch-sensitive keypad
•a liquid crystal display (LCD) that shows:
•monitor status
•continuous oxygen concentrations
•preset alarm levels
•two red light-emitting diodes (LEDs) which serve as visual alarms
The back of the instrument case features:
•a bail bar to allow the instrument to “stand” on a horizontal surface during monitoring operations
•a plastic wedge that slides into an optional bracket for mounting the instrument on a horizontal or vertical pole
The galvanic oxygen sensor consists of a deflector assembly and a plastic housing containing two electrodes. A coiled cable connects the sensor to the
1-1 |
P/N 814358 [Rev.1] 09/2010 |
MiniOX® 3000 Oxygen Monitor
instrument. Plugs at each end of the cable snap into jacks (one located in the sensor housing and one located in the instrument) and are held securely in place by twist collars.
The oxygen sensor is introduced into a breathing circuit through an Ohio Medical Corporation tee adapter connecting two lengths of tubing. The sensor/tee adapter assembly is positioned with the sensor deflector pointing downward to ensure that moisture does not collect on the sensor membrane. The retaining strap ensures that the sensor remains securely in place in the tee adapter.
See the following appendices:
•Appendix A, Specifications
•Appendix F, Accessories/Replacement Parts
Operating Principles
MiniOX® 3000 Oxygen Sensor
The oxygen sensor includes two electrodes:
•a gold cathode exposed to the atmosphere through a fluoropolymer membrane
•a lead anode submersed in a potassium hydroxide solution
When oxygen diffuses through the membrane, the electrochemical reduction of oxygen on the cathode and the corresponding oxidation on the anode generate an electrical current proportional to the partial pressure of oxygen in the sample atmosphere. The instrument temperature compensates, amplifies, and converts the electrical current, displaying O2 values.
The Ohio Medical Corporation oxygen sensor is selfzeroing; when no oxygen is present:
•no current is produced
•0% oxygen is displayed
The sensor has a minimal response to gases other than oxygen (see Appendix C, Interferent Gases and Vapors).
MiniOX® 3000 Instrument
The MiniOX® 3000 Oxygen Monitor is batterypowered and microprocessor-controlled. The microprocessor:
Section 1, Introduction
•provides the operator interface
•controls internal functions
•monitors data and system status
Operator Interface
When the operator enters commands using the keypad, the microprocessor interprets these commands and responds by:
•displaying text in the LCD
•activating the LEDs
•emitting audible tones
Internal Functions
During operation, the microprocessor coordinates all internal functions including:
•self-testing
•response to keypad commands
•data collection
•display update
•confirmation that a programmed sequence is properly followed
Data and System Status
The signal from the oxygen sensor is amplified and converted to a digital value through electronic circuitry. Following software compensation, the microprocessor:
•compares current data to preselected values
•displays the updated O2 concentration
•if appropriate, activates audible and visual alarms
The microprocessor also monitors internal systems, indicating such operating conditions as:
•calibration required
•low battery voltage
•sensor disconnect
•system error
Performance Features
Calibration
The MiniOX® 3000 Oxygen Monitor must be calibrated:
P/N 814358 [Rev.1] 09/2010 |
1-2 |
MiniOX® 3000 Oxygen Monitor
•daily, while in operation
•each time the monitor is turned ON
•following sensor disconnection/reconnection
•when environmental conditions (pressure, humidity and temperature) change
When a MiniOX® 3000 Oxygen Monitor with a sensor connected is turned ON, the monitor performs a selftest and a calibration requirement occurs:
•“CAL” flashes on the display, telling the operator to carry out the calibration procedure
The calibration procedure is initiated by exposing the sensor to a calibration gas [either room air (defined as oxygen concentration of 20.8%) or 100% oxygen] and pressing the corresponding key on the keypad. The following appears on the display:
•“CAL LOCKED”
•the selected calibration gas concentration.
When the unlock key is pressed the monitor displays:
•“CAL”
•a 10-segment bar graph which “counts down” two seconds per bar for 20 seconds
The monitor automatically calibrates to the selected concentration. At the end of the 20 seconds, the monitor:
•emits a beep indicating that calibration is complete
•enters the operating mode
See Section 3, Calibration
Low/High Oxygen Concentration Alarms
The MiniOX® 3000 Oxygen Monitor has audible and visual alarms that activate when oxygen concentrations exceed preset low or high alarm settings. Default settings are 18% and 50%, respectively; however, the operator may select alarm levels between 15% and 100%. See Section 3, Setting the Alarms
When the MiniOX® 3000 Oxygen Monitor detects an oxygen concentration that exceeds the preset alarm limit:
•the red LED for that alarm flashes
Section 1, Introduction
•an audible alarm activates
•the measured concentration appears in the display
The operator can silence the audible alarm for three 30-second intervals for a total of 90 seconds; however, the visual alarm continues to flash. At the end of the silence period, the audible alarm
reactivates if the alarm condition is not corrected. See Section 3, Silencing an Alarm
Low Battery Alarms
The MiniOX® 3000 Oxygen Monitor features a twostage battery alarm that warns of depleted and expired battery voltage:
•The first alarm alerts the operator that the monitor has approximately six hours of operating time remaining:
•a warning message appears in the display
•an audible alarm sounds at 30-second intervals
•If the operator does not replace the battery after this alarm, a second low battery alarm activates when the battery is no longer able to support monitoring. The monitor:
•displays a warning message
•activates an audible and visual alarm (See Section 3, Low Battery Alarms)
Sensor Indicator
During monitoring, the MiniOX® 3000 Oxygen Monitor displays a warning message; audible and visual alarms activate if:
•the oxygen sensor becomes disconnected
•the cable fails or disconnects from the sensor or instrument
•the sensor membrane is perforated
•the thermistor circuit opens
Calibration Needed Indicator
The MiniOX® 3000 Oxygen Monitor flashes “CAL”:
•when the monitor is turned ON
•following sensor disconnection/reconnection
