Device must have power to operate. In the event of power
loss and for continued operation a backup source is
recommended.
Do not use in a specifically magnetic environment (MRI, X-
ray, etc.). May cause device malfunction.
We recommend against the use of extension cords and
adapters, as they are potential sources of sparks and fire.
Consult your equipment provider for further information
regarding altitudes of 2200 m to 4000m (7500 to 13000ft).
Complies with EN 60529:2001 + A2:2014 rating of IPX1;
enclosure protects internal electrical components against
vertically falling water drops.
Complies with EN 60601-1:2006 [11.6.3]; enclosure
protects internal electrical components against spilling of a
glass of water (i.e. contents of humidifier).

Start-Up
1) Ensure that the Power Switch (Fig 1-1) is in the “
O
”
(OFF) position.
If used with a humidifier (Fig 3):
Unscrew the flask
and fill it with distilled water up to the line (see
manufacturer’s instructions). Then screw the lid on
the humidifier flask until there are no leaks. Connect
the oxygen tube to the humidifier outlet nozzle.
Screw the humidifier directly to the provided Patient
Hose Kit (tubing and elbow) attached to the Oxygen
Product Outlet (Fig 1-2). Ensure that all of the parts
are connected correctly so as to avoid leaks.
Replace water in humidifier bottle before each
treatment.
If not using a humidifier:
Remove the Patient Hose
Kit attached to the Oxygen Product Outlet (Fig 1-3)
and connect the oxygen tube directly to the outlet.
2)
Plug the power cable into a power outlet of the
correct voltage and frequency as defined on the
manufacturer’s technical label (Fig 2-7).
3)
Press the Power Switch (Fig 1-3) to the ON
“
I
”
position.
See the Alarms and Safety Features on page 3 for
indicator lights and meanings.
4) Turn the flow adjustment knob (Fig 1-1) to the
prescribed value.
The required oxygen concentration is normally
obtained within two minutes after the device is
started.
5) Check that the oxygen flows out of the administration
device (nasal cannulas or other) by placing the
orifice(s) on the surface of a glass of water. The flow
should disturb the surface of the water.
6) Adjust the nasal cannula to suit your face.
4.3
Shut Down
At the end of the treatment, press the Power Switch (Fig
1-3) to the
“O”
(OFF) position to stop the device. The
oxygen enriched air flow continues for approximately
one minute after the device is stopped.
Make sure during operation and after shut down that
the cannula is facing away from soft surfaces and
clothing. Excess oxygen can accumulate and cause
ignition if exposed to a spark or open flame.
After turning the unit off, the user must wait 3-5
minutes before turning it back on. System pressure must
dissipate before the unit will properly restart.

CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE
5.1
Cleaning
Cleaning and disinfecting your device:
Only the outside
of the
device
is to be cleaned. After making sure the
Power Switch (Fig 1-3) is in the "
O
"
(OFF) position, use
a soft, dry cloth or, if necessary, a damp sponge, to wipe
the cabinet enclosure. Then thoroughly dry with wipes
and an alcohol based solution. To prevent the spread of
bacteria and viruses, this should be done daily and for
each new patient.
Acetone, solvents or any other flammable products must
not be used. Do not use abrasive powders.
Cleaning and replacing filters:
The removable cabinet
air filter (Fig 2-9) must be cleaned in warm water and
household detergent. Dry
before reinstalling. The inlet /
silencer filter (see Fig 5)
should be inspected at each
patient visit and replaced if
required. The final product
filter (not pictured) should only
be replaced by a technician if
required (not common).
Cleaning and replacing accessories:
Clean the
humidifier according to manufacturer’s instructions. If
no instructions are provided, do the following: empty the
water from the humidifier, rinse the flask and lid under
running water. Regularly disinfect the humidifier by
immersing the flask and lid in a disinfectant solution (we
recommend using a solution of 1 part vinegar to 10 parts
water). Rinse under running water and dry. Tubing and
cannula should be used according to the manufacturer’s
instructions and replaced for each new patient to prevent
the spreading of bacteria and viruses.
5.2
Maintenance
No special maintenance needs to be carried out by the
patient. Your equipment supplier performs periodic
maintenance operations to assure continued reliable
service from the
device
.
