Bring enough charged batteries with you to power your concentrator for no less than 150% of the
expected duration of your flight, ground time before and after the flight, security screenings,
connections and a conservative estimate for unanticipated delays. Note that per FAA regulations, all
extra batteries are to be individually wrapped and protected to prevent short circuits and carried in
carry-on baggage onboard aircraft only.
The AC Power Supply cannot be used to charge the device battery when onboard aircraft. If traveling
by bus, train or boat, contact your carrier to find out about power port availability.
6.15 STORING YOUR CONCENTRATOR
Store your concentrator
• Remove the battery from the concentrator.
• Store concentrator, battery and power accessories in a cool, dry place.
• Store your battery with a charge of 40-50%.
DO NOT store in temperatures less than 5˚C (41˚F) or higher than 35˚C (95˚F) for extended periods of
time.
DO NOT place objects on top of the concentrator or packaged concentrator.
6.16 RESPONDING TO ALARMS
CAUTION
If you are unable to hear or see alarms, do not have normal tactile sensitivity, or cannot
communicate discomfort, consult your clinician before using this device.
Pressing the bell button will enable (turn on) and disable (turn off) the no-breath-detect alarm.
When the audible no-breath-detect alarm is ON (because the concentrator has not detected a breath
for 60 seconds, see Section 7: alarms for no-breath-detect alarm conditions), the concentrator will
emit three beeps, repeated every 25 seconds and will have a flashing yellow light. When this alarm is
triggered, the concentrator will begin to deliver pulses of oxygen at a rate of 20 boluses per minute.
When the audible no-breath-detect alarm is OFF, the concentrator will respond the same way when
no breath is detected for 60 seconds BUT the repeating 3 beeps will not be produced. Whether the
no-breath-detect mode is on or off, it does not impact the alarm functionality of any other device alarms
or notifications.
Important: The alarm system is tested during the startup sequence. You should see all alarm lights
briefly turn on and the audible alarm indicator chirp. If alarms are suspected of misoperating, contact
your distributor for verification that alarms are working correctly.
