The Manufacturer recommends an alternate source of supplemental oxygen in
the event of a power outage, alarm condition, or mechanical failure. Consult
your physician or Equipment Provider for the type of reserve system required.
It is very important to select only the prescribed level of oxygen
. Do not
change the flow selection unless you have been directed to do so by a
licensed clinician.
The Oxygen Concentrator may be used during sleep under the
recommendation of a licensed clinician.
Operating or storing the Oxygen Concentrator outside of its normal operating
temperature range can impair the performance of the unit. Refer to the
specification section of this manual for storage and operating temperature
limits.
In the event of an alarm or you observe the Oxygen Concentrator is not
working properly; consult the troubleshooting section of this manual. If you
cannot resolve the problem, consult your Equipment Provider.
If the audio alarm is weak or does not sound at all, consult your Equipment
Provider immediately.
For units equipped with the oxygen monitor option - Contact your Equipment
Provider immediately if the amber OXYGEN MONITOR light remains on for
more than 15 minutes
and/or the audio alarm activates.
If the humidifier bottle tubing is not properly connected to the humidifier bottle
fitting or to the oxygen outlet, an oxygen leak can occur.
Cannula must be non-kinking, which can be used for a total length of
25 ft. (7.6 m) max.
Ensure the cannula is fully inserted and secure. You should hear or feel
oxygen flow to the prongs of the nasal cannula. If oxygen does not seem to
flow, first verify that the flowmeter ball is registering a flow. Then, place the tip
of the cannula into a glass of water; if bubbles come out of the cannula,
oxygen is flowing. If bubbles do not appear, refer to the troubleshooting section
of this manual.
Always follow the cannula manufacturer’s instructions for proper use. Replace
the disposable cannula as recommended by the cannula manufacturer or your
Equipment Provider. Additional supplies are available from your Equipment
Provider.
