1.
Verify battery status (level) of both internal and external batteries
(where applicable) prior to each use; charge as necessary.
2.
Connect the end of a standard adult single-lumen oxygen nasal
cannula with a maximum length of 2.1m (7ft) to the POC’s
oxygen outlet fitting.
To ensure proper device operation, use only an adult
single-lumen cannula maximum 2.1m (7ft).
3.
Place the cannula over your ears and position the prongs in
your nose as instructed by your equipment provider or cannula
manufacturer.

Prior to operation, ensure that the inlet and exhaust vents on
the POC are clear. Any blockage of these vents can inhibit
performance.

Choose a power option: AC power adapter, DC power adapter
or internal battery (refer to the “POWER SUPPLY” section of the
user manual for details on these three options).
6.
Turn “ON” the POC by selecting the setting for your prescribed
flow. The setting number will be illuminated green when properly
selected.
7.
Breathe normally through your nose. A measured pulse of
oxygen will be delivered each time the POC senses an inhalation.
To show the POC is triggering properly, the illuminated setting
number will turn off briefly each time it senses an inhalation.

• Read this user manual before operating the POC.
• The POC shall be used by an adult or supervised by an adult when
being used by a child.
• Additional monitoring or attention may be required for patients using
this POC who are unable to hear or see alarms or communicate
discomfort.
• The setting knob does not rotate 360°. Rotating the knob anti-
clockwise beyond the “OFF ( ) position” or over “setting 5” will
damage the concentrator.
