MOX1 Oxygen Sensor

Document Purpose:
The purpose of this document is to present the performance specification of the MOX1 oxygen gas sensor.
This document should be used in conjunction with the Operating Principles (OP04) and the Product Safety Datasheet (PSDS 4).
The data provided in this document are valid at 20°C, 50% RH and 1013 mBar for 3 months from the date of sensor manufacture.
Output signal can drift below the lower limit over time. For guidance on the safe use of the sensor, please refer to the Operating Principles (OP04).

Important Note:

Connection should be made via recommended mating parts only. Soldering to the sensor will damage it and invalidate the warranty.
For further information on the external load resistance and connection to the recommended mating part, please see Operating Principle OP-04 or contact City Technology.
All performance data is based on measurements made with cylinder gases using a flow rate of 100 mls/min. Conditions at 20°C, 50% RH and 1013 mBar. For sensor performance data under other conditions, contact City Technology.
Performance characteristics outline the performance of sensors supplied within the first 3 months. Output signal can drift below the lower limit over time.

Poisoning:
CiTiceLs are designed for operation in a wide range of environments and harsh conditions. However, it is important that exposure to high concentrations of solvent vapours is avoided, both during storage, fitting into instruments and operation.
When using sensors with printed circuit boards (PCBs), degreasing agents should be used before the sensor is fitted. Do not glue directly on or near the CiTiceL as the solvent may cause crazing of the plastic.

Intended Use:
These sensors are designed to be used to monitor the partial pressure of oxygen in anaesthesia (not including xenon), critical care, neonatal incubators, and general oxygen monitors.

Stabilisation Time:
Allow at least 15 minutes to stabilise in the instrument before calibration or refer to manufacturers instructions

Cleaning and Sterilisation:
In case of contamination the sensor may be cleaned with distilled water and allowed to dry naturally. The sensor is not suitable for sterilisation by steam or exposure to chemicals such as ethylene oxide or hydrogen peroxide.

Calibration Interval:
These sensors are designed to have minimal drift over their useful lifetime. For maximum accuracy however they should be calibrated before each use.
