Teledyne Analytical Instruments MX300 Oxygen Monitor with
alarms here after referred to as MX300 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 instruments have a unique
combination of features that make them very easy to use. The operator
interface is accomplished through a series of buttons located
conveniently on the front face of the instrument. The MX300 front face
interface is shown in Figure 1-1.
Figure 1-1: MX300 Front View
The LCD display consists of up to 3.5 characters plus a decimal
point indicator capable of displaying up to 105%. (See Section 1.3
Teledyne Analytical Instruments 9
Introduction MX300
Options for alternate display configuration). An integral battery life
indicator is displayed “on demand” with the MX300.
The instrument is powered by three AA alkaline batteries and is
designed to operate for 2000 hours in non-alarm state.
Oxygen analysis is linear across the single range of 0-100% using
Teledyne’s class R17MED oxygen sensor. A unique sensor failure
alarm is incorporated which warns the user if the sensor signal is lost or
low. When this occurs, the √ SENSOR display flashes. The alarm buzzer
can be silenced by pressing the ALARM SILENCE key. If the alarm
condition is not corrected within 115 seconds the alarm buzzer will
reactivate.
The MX300 unit incorporates a dual concentration alarm with
individual user-defined set points. The set points are displayed on the
lower portion of the LCD display with the low alarm set point appearing
at the lower left and the high alarm appearing on the lower right of the
display. The alarm circuitry provides both an audible and visual alarm.
1.1 Applicable Standards

1.4 Applications
The MX300 Portable oxygen analyzer is intended to continuously
measure and display the concentration of oxygen in a gas mixtures used
in medical applications such as Anesthesia, Respiratory therapy and is
intended for adult, pediatric and Neonatal populations.
The instruments may be used in verifying oxygen concentrations in
gas mixtures used in:
• Anesthesia
• Respiratory Therapy
• Neonatal Care
1.5 Theory of Operation
The MX300 monitor can be divided into two major functional
groups:
• R17MED Oxygen Sensor
• Signal Processing
The analyzer uses Teledyne Analytical Instruments Patented
R17MED oxygen sensor. The millovolt output signal from the sensor is
fed into the electronic signal processor, where it is used to calculate the
oxygen gas concentration and display it on the LCD screen. The data
from the sensor is compared to the alarm values set by the user, and
Teledyne Analytical Instruments 12
Portable Oxygen Monitor Introduction
activates the audible and visual alarms if the oxygen level exceeds those
values. A unique sensor fail/disconnect alarm is incorporated in the
MX300 to warn the user of a sensor problem. The√ SENSOR indicator
is illuminated on the LCD and the audible and visual alarms are
activated whenever a fault is detected.
1.5.1 Sensor
The MX300 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.
Oxygen entering the sensor reacts with the anode and a proportional
current is collected at the sensing cathode, which is sent to the
electronics where it is converted into a digital signal and displayed on
the LCD Screen.
Attached to the R17MED sensor is a removable plastic diverter.
This diverter is used to facilitate the transport of gas mixtures through
the sensor. The diverter, packaged separately when shipped, is necessary
when the tee adapter is used to sample gas flowing through a tube.
The diverter is not necessary and should not be used when the
sensor is placed directly in a chamber, or when the sensor is used in
confined volume monitoring, such as incubators and inhalation tents.
CAUTION: THE R17MED SENSOR CONTIANS A CAUSTIC
ELECTROLYTE AND LEAD. DO NOT TRY TO OPEN
THE SENSOR ASSEMBLY. CHECK THE SENSOR
REGULARLY FOR LEAKS. IF THE SENSOR IS
LEAKING, REPLACE IT. DO NOT TRY TO REPAIR IT.
CONTACT TELEDYNE FOR THE MATERIAL SAFETY
DATA SHEET RELATED TO HANDLING AND
DISPOSAL.
CAUTION: REMOVE AND SAVE THE DIVERTER WHEN THE
SENSOR IS USED IN CONFINED VOLUME
APPLICATIONS.
1.5.2 Signal Processing
The electrical voltage developed in the sensor is sent to the electronics.
Processing includes amplification, conversion to digits, and comparison to
Teledyne Analytical Instruments 13
Introduction MX300
alarm set points if appropriate. Using a microprocessor allows for easier
setting of alarms, automatic calibration, and self-diagnosis.
The oxygen level is calculated and then displayed on the liquid
crystal display (LCD) on the front panel.
In the MX300 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.
The audio alarm is used for both the concentration alarms and the
sensor disconnects alarm. The user can manually bypass the
concentration alarm for a set amount of time. Pressing the ALARM
SILENCE key will provide an audible alarm override for 115 seconds.
After that, if the alarm condition still prevails, the audible alarm will
resume. The ALARM SILENCE key can also be used to interrupt the
sensor disconnects audible alarm.

Note: Upon receipt, INSPECT THE ENTIRE UNIT FOR
DAMAGE. Check the unit and all included accessories for
broken or loose parts. If damaged, DO NOT USE. Notify
the shipper, and consult Teledyne Analytical Instruments.
Note: This equipment is internally powered using 3 AA batteries.
CAUTION: THE MX300, OXYGEN SENSOR AND ASSOCIATED
HARDWARE ARE NON-STERILE DEVICES. DO NOT
AUTOCLAVE THE INSTRUMENT OR SENSOR, AS
THIS WILL DAMAGE THE EQUIPMENT.
2.1 Setup
The MX300 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.
To set up and use your MX300 monitor:
1. Install the sensor.
2. Install the batteries.
3. Calibrate the unit.
4. Set the alarms.
The control keys are designed for easy operation. A LOCK/UNLOCK
key has been supplied to prevent accidental changes to critical settings. This
eliminates unwanted changes in calibration or alarm settings from accidental
touching or bumping of the keys. To further reduce the possibly of incorrect
adjustments at least two keys must be pressed in order to modify a critical
calibration or alarm set point value.
Note: The ALARM SILENCE and BATT TEST key continue to
operate normally when the lock feature is activated.
