3.2 Cannula Connection
Connect the tubing and cannula to the unit's oxygen outlet, or to the
optional humidifier's oxygen outlet.
3.3 Starting the Concentrator
NO SMOKING signs must be prominently displayed in the
home or wherever unit is in use. Patients and their contacts
should be informed about the dangers of smoking in the
presence of medical oxygen.
Do not use extension cords with this unit or connect too many
plugs into the same electrical outlet. This can result in an
overload to the electrical panel causing the breaker/fuse to
activate.
Position the unit away from curtains or drapes, hot air registers
or heaters. Be certain to place the unit on a flat surface and
make sure all sides are at least 1 foot (30 cm) away from a wall
or other obstruction. Do not place the unit in a confined area.
Choose a dust and smoke free-location away from direct
sunlight. Do not operate the unit outdoors.
1. Locate the unit near the electrical outlet in the room where you
spend most of your time.
2. Insert the power cord plug into the electrical outlet.
3. Set the I/0 power switch to the "I" position to turn the unit on.
An audible alarm will loudly sound for approximately 5 seconds.
4. The low oxygen concentration indicator remains on for a few
minutes and until the oxygen concentration reaches minimum
concentration requirements, (only pertains to unit equipped with an
Oxygen Monitor)
5. To set the flow of supplemental oxygen, turn the flowmeter
adjustment knob left or right until the ball inside the flowmeter
centers on the flow line number prescribed by your physician.
To view the flowmeter at the proper angle, note that the back line
and the front number line must give appearance of one line.
6. The concentrator is now ready for use.

Normally, you should not need to adjust the flowmeter on your unit. If you turn
the flowmeter adjustment knob clockwise, you will decrease and can shut off the
flow of oxygen from your unit.
3.4 Turning the Concentrator Off
EN-17 EN-18
Optimal oxygen concentration is obtained within 10 minutes
after the device is switched on (90% of the concentration is
obtained after approximately 5 minutes).
It is very important to follow the prescribed level of oxygen flow.
Do not increase or decrease the flow until you first consult your
physician.
If oxygen does not seem to flow, first verify that the flowmeter
ball is registering a flow. Then, place the tip of the cannula into
a glass of water; if bubbles come out of the cannula, oxygen is
flowing. If bubbles do not appear, refer to Section 5.0.
Troubleshooting.
Ensure concentrator is operated in an upright position.
•
Set the I/0 power switch to the "0" position to turn off the unit.
