INITIAL INSPECTION
It is suggested that an initial inspection be performed upon
receiving the oxygen concentrator.
1. After removing the DeVilbiss Oxygen Concentrator from the
carton, examine it for any external damage. If shipping damage
has occurred, contact the Sunrise Medical Customer Service
Department at 1-800-333-4000 (814-443-4881) for specific
instructions. Save the carton for possible later return; note
the position of the unit and placement of the packing material.
2. Open the filter door (Figure 3) and record the number of
hours on the hour meter. Check to make sure the air filter is
in place.
3. Check to be sure the intake bacteria filter (Figure 4) is in place.
4. Plug the unit into an electrical outlet, turn the unit “On,” and
check the audible and visible alarms.
5. Set the flow meter to maximum recommended liter flow and
let the unit run for at least 20 minutes.
6. Use an oxygen analyzer to check the concentration.
NOTE:
If the unit fails to operate properly (oxygen concen-
tration not within specification) or if internal damage is found,
contact the Sunrise Medical Customer Service Department at
1-800-333-4000 (814-443-4881).
PATIENT SETUP
1. Position the unit near an electrical outlet in the room where
the patient spends most of his or her time.
NOTE:
Do not connect to an electrical outlet controlled by a
wall switch.The outlet should be independent of other appliances.
2. Position the unit at least 6 inches (16 cm) from walls,
draperies, or any other objects that might prevent the proper
flow of air in and out of the oxygen concentrator.
3. Locate the unit a minimum of 5 feet (1.6 meters) from fire-
places, radiators, heaters, and hot-air registers.
WARNING: Oxygen promotes rapid burning. Do
not smoke when using this unit or when near a
person receiving oxygen therapy. Do not operate the
oxygen concentrator within a minimum of 5 feet (1.6
meters) from hot, sparking, or burning objects or
naked flames. Do not use in rooms heated by paraffin
or portable gas heaters.
WARNING: Electric Shock Hazard. Only qualified
Sunrise Medical homecare providers may remove
the cabinet.
4. Attach the appropriate oxygen accessories (oxygen tubing or
humidifier) to the oxygen outlet port.
NOTE:
A maximum of 50 feet (15 meters) of tubing plus 7
feet (2.1 meters) of cannula plus a bubble humidifier is allowed
between the concentrator and the patient.
Oxygen Tubing Only Connection (Figure 1)
1. Thread the cannula fitting (part #CN100) onto the oxygen
outlet port.
2. Attach the 5/32” (4 mm) I.D. oxygen tubing (part #OST07,
OST15, OST25, or OST50).
Oxygen Tubing with Humidification Connection
If the physician has prescribed an oxygen humidifier as part of
the patient’s therapy, follow these steps:
1. Fill the humidifier bottle (part #HUM16) with distilled water.
Do not overfill. (If using a prefill, go to Step 3.)
2. Thread the wing nut located on the top of the humidifier bot-
tle to the oxygen outlet port so that it is suspended. Make
sure it is securely tightened.
3. Attach the 5/32" (4 mm) I.D. oxygen tubing (part # OST07,
OST15, OST25, or OST50), not to exceed 50 feet (15
meters), directly to the humidifier bottle outlet fitting.
NOTE:
For optimum performance, the DeVilbiss Oxygen
Concentrator has a preset nominal output pressure of 8.5 psi
(58.6 kPa). Use only “bubble-type” humidifiers. Do not use
“jet-type” humidifiers.
NOTE:
Condensation from the humidifier may occur in
longer lengths of tubing or if the tubing is laying on a cold
floor.This can be reduced by using a removable humidifier
stand (part #MC44DM-509).
To use the stand:
1. Attach a straight humidifier adapter fitting (part #444-506) to
the bottle by turning the wing nut on the humidifier until it is
tight on the fitting.
2. Secure the bottle in the strap.
3. Attach one end of the oxygen tubing to the oxygen outlet on
the unit and the other end to the plastic adapter fitting on the
humidifier. Locate the humidifier near the patient.
When ready for operation
1. Attach the nasal cannula (part #CAN00), catheter, or face
mask to the oxygen tubing (per the manufacturer’s directions).
2. Follow the
Operating Instructions
