6.3.1 OPERATING MODE
The ECOlite
®
4000 unit can be adjusted for two different operating modes:
Manual
(shown as MANUAL on the display screen)
•
In this mode the device will be delivering oxygen at the volume set on the display on each
inhalation.
•
The value on the display is fi xed and will remain so regardless of the user’s breathing rate.
Automatic
(shown as AUTO on the display screen)
•
In the automatic mode the operation of the unit is dependent on the user’s breathing rate:
•
If the breathing rate is less than 15 breaths per minute, oxygen being delivered will be dosed in
the volume selected by the user and shown on the display screen.
•
If the breathing rate is higher than 15 breaths per minute, the oxygen fl ow rate will automatically
increase in a linear way up to double the flow rate of oxygen pre-set on the screen but it will not
exceed the maximum flow rate of 8 litres per minute.
The preset oxygen fl ow rate will be indicated in full symbols and digits on the screen, with the
additional amount indicated as half symbols.
The flow rate and operating mode shall be prescribed by your physician so that it best suits
your heath condition.
