Document Purpose
The purpose of this document is to present the performance specification of
the MOX3 oxygen gas sensor.
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).

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.
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.
Mechanical Installation
When installing the sensor, it must only be screwed in hand-tight and a gas tight seal ensured. Spanners
and similar mechanical aids may not be used, as excessive force may damage the sensor thread.
RFI/EMI Susceptibility
MediceLs contain metal and may be susceptible to RFI or EMI. They are not suitable for use in MRI
environments. For further information please contact City Technology.

SAFETY NOTE
This sensor is designed to be used in safety-critical applications. To ensure that the sensor and/or instrument in
which it is used, are operating properly, it is a requirement that the function of the device is confirmed by exposure
to target gas (bump check) before each use of the sensor and/or instrument. Failure to carry out such tests may
jeopardize the safety of people and property.
