This device is to be used only in accordance with the
prescription of a physician and this User Manual. If at any
time the patient or attendant conclude that the patient is

by a physician.
Close supervision is necessary when this product is used near
children or physically-challenged individuals.
Use this product for only intended use as described in this

DO NOT connect the concentrator in parallel or series with
other oxygen concentrators or oxygen therapy devices.
Use of some administration accessories or certain humidifiers
not specified for use with oxygen concentrator may impair the
performance.
In certain circumstances oxygen therapy can be hazardous.

Oxygen Concentration
Take care not to set the flow above RED ring. An oxygen flow
greater than 5 L/min. (IRC5LXO2AW, IRC5LXAW,
IRC5LXO2AWQ) and 9 L/min. (IRC9LXO2AWQ) will
decrease the oxygen concentration.
