How To Use Your H300-50 Personal Oxygen System

26

H300-50 Home Use Guide

Oxygen flow stops when you stop inhaling. It is
normal for the device to occasionally skip a
breath or to pulse twice in one breath.

When continuous mode is selected, oxygen is
delivered continuously at the rate displayed on
the flow control knob. For example, the .75 set-
ting delivers continuous flow oxygen at .75 L/
min.
