HELiOS 300 & 800

Introduction

A liquid oxygen system is designed to provide sup-

plementary oxygen as prescribed by a physician. 

Your liquid oxygen system includes a HELiOS 

portable unit and a stationary reservoir.    The res-

ervoir is the larger container that is used to fill your 

HELiOS portable. This user manual contains only 

the instructions for using the HELiOS portable. Re-

fer to the user manual supplied with your reservoir 

unit for information on its operation.

HELiOS portable liquid oxygen units are designed 

to be an ambulatory source of oxygen for an 

extended period of time. They are filled with liquid 

oxygen from a reservoir unit with a compatible fill 

connector. HELiOS portables are available in two 

different sizes.  

The H300 Plus is primarily a conserving device 

and holds 0.38 Liters of liquid oxygen. It provides 

demand (pulse) flow settings 1-4, and limited low 

dose continuous flow settings at 0.75 LPM and 

below only. 

The H850 Marathon can be used as a conserving 

or continuous flow device and holds 0.84 liters of 

liquid oxygen. It provides continuous flow from 1-6 

LPM and demand flow on settings of 1-4.
