When your Portable unit is set to 1 or above, oxygen will be delivered
only while you inhale. You should notice a small pulse at the beginning
of each breath. Oxygen is delivered during this pulse, and continues as
long as you inhale. 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 your portable unit is set below 1, oxygen is delivered
continuously at the rate displayed on the flow control knob. For
example, the .5 setting delivers continuous flow oxygen at .5 L/min.
The table below shows approximate use times for your Portable unit
after it has been completely filled. The table below was constructed
using a breathing pattern that is typical for oxygen patients.
Your use
time may vary substantially from the use time listed below. You
should learn through experience how long the Portable unit will last
under your circumstances.
The table below of approximate use times
is correct even though in some cases it doesn't seem logical. For
example, the .75 setting doesn't last as long as the 1 setting because the
.75 setting is continuous flow and the 1 setting is demand flow. Also,
the 1 setting doesn't last twice as long as the 2 setting because of
unique properties of liquid oxygen.
