To care for your oximeter:

• Keep the battery charged in case of power failure (Fig 1)
• Clean the probe gently between patients with a damp cloth or alcohol swab (Fig 2)
• Position safely to avoid dropping or damage from spillages. Consider connecting to a pole or trolley using the clip supplied with the Lifebox oximeter (Fig 3)
• When connecting the oximeter probe or lead, always insert the plug correctly. Check carefully to avoid damage. Note that the lead only ever inserts one way. Check the shape before inserting (Fig 4)
• When disconnecting and connecting a probe, grip the plug firmly and not the cable. If the cable is pulled, small wires inside break (Fig 5)
• When not in use, always coil the lead and position the probe where it cannot be damaged. Too tight a coil will damage the lead. Leaving the lead dangling will result in damage (Fig 6)
