Assembly, Installation and Operating Instructions
SAFETY SUMMARY
The following recommendations are made for the safe
installation and use of the PreciseR
meter:
Federal law restricts this device to sale by or on
the order of a physician.
DO NOT install this equipment without rst reading and understanding this instruction sheet. If
you are unable to understand these instructions,
contact a healthcare professional, dealer or
technical personnel if applicable before
attempting to install this equipment - otherwise,
injury or damage may occur.
DO NOT smoke while using oxygen.
DO NOT use oxygen in the presence of ames,
sparks, or glowing object.
Oxygen rapidly accelerates combustion.
Use of this product with any oxygen concentrator other than the models listed in this
documentation is NOT recommended. Such unauthorized usage may result in inaccurate
oxygen delivery and may be hazardous to the
patient.
The PreciseR
applicable to Oxygen Concentrator Models
IRC301, IRC301O2, IRC3LX, IRC501, IRC501O2,
IRC5LX , IRC5LXO2 and IRC6LXO2.
The owmeters are designed for an input pressure of 5 psi (34.5 kPa) ONLY.
Invacare recommends that Crush-Proof
oxygen tubing (supplied by Invacare) be used
exclusively with this product and NOT exceed
25 ft. (7.6 meters) in total length from either the
Humidier Bottle Adapter to the patient OR the
Pediatric
er Bottle is NOT used.
DO NOT disassemble. Only authorized or
factory-trained personnel should perform
disassembly procedures.

HANDLING PROCEDURES
Shipping and Transportation
Instructions
The shipping container for the Pediatric Flowmeter has
been designed to assure maximum protection for the
flowmeter.
If the flowmeter is to be reshipped, it should be packed in
the same carton. Extra cartons are available from Invacare.
Unpacking
1. Check for any obvious damage to the carton or
its contents. If damage is evident, notify your
Carrier/ Dealer for further instruction.
2. Remove all the loose packing from the carton.

3. Carefully remove all the components from the
carton.
NOTE: Unless the flowmeter is to be used immediately,
retain container and packing materials for use in storing
until use is required.
Inspection
1. Examine exterior of the flowmeter for nicks,
dents, scratches or other damages. Inspect all
components.
Storage
1. Store the repackaged flowmeter in a dry area.
2. DO NOT place other objects on top of the
repackaged device.
If Humidifier Bottle is Prescribed
WARNING
DO NOT OVERFILL Humidifier Bottle.
1. Fill the humidifier with water to the level
shown on the bottle.
2. Place the humidifier in the humidifier compartment
on the concentrator.
3. Attach the humidifier bottle adapter to the humidifier
bottle.
4. Attach the 25 ft. (Max.) CP tubing to the humidifier
bottle output connector.
WARNING
SET-UP WITH MODELS IRC301,
IRC301O2, IRC3LX, IRC501,
IRC501O2, IRC5LX, IRC5LXO2
AND IRC6LXO2 (FIGURES 1 and 2)
NOTE: Invacare recommends that Crush-Proof oxygen
tubing be used for ALL connections.
WARNING
Connect cannula to child ONLY after ALL
tubing connections have been made.
Possible water feedback through the tubing
could occur if this sequence is NOT followed.
1. Place your flowmeter on table top.
TM
2. Turn PreciseR
fully open position.
3. Press concentrator power switch to the ON position.
The power light located on the control panel will illuminate GREEN (LX Models ONLY ). The alarm will
"beep" three (3) times indicating that the system is
functioning properly.
When adjusting the Pediatric Flowmeter, the flowmeter on the oxygen concentrator MUST be set
at 2 L/min. Failure to comply with this procedure
will cause incorrect flow rates to the patient.
4. Set the OXYGEN CONCENTRATOR to 2 L/m.
5. Allow concentrator to run a minimum of 20 min. to
ensure proper concentration level. Flow indicators
(ALL 5LXO2 and 6LXO2) require proper operating
time to adequately read flow level.

WARNING
Connect cannula to child ONLY after ALL
tubing connections have been made.
Possible water feedback through the tubing
could occur if this sequence is NOT followed.
5. Attach connector provided to the OPPOSITE END
of the 25 ft. (Max.) CP tubing and then connect it to
the nasal cannula.
6. Connect one (1) of the 7 ft. Crush-Proof tubing
from oxygen output fitting of the Concentrator to
the oxygen input fitting on the Pediatric Flowmeter.
7. Connect the other 7 ft. Crush-Proof tubing from
the Pediatric Flowmeter output fitting to the
humidifier bottle adapter.
CAUTION
DO NOT coil Crush-Proof tubing on COLD floor or
condensation will form inside the tubing.
8. Coil excess 25 ft. (Max.) CP Crush-Proof tubing on
table surface.
9. Proceed to
Using the Pediatric Flowmeter with
or without a Humidifier Bottle in this Instruction
Sheet.
If Humidifier Bottle is NOT Prescribed
1. Connect the 25 ft. (Max.) CP tubing to the oxygen
output of the Pediatric Flowmeter.
2. Attach connector provided to the OPPOSITE END
of the 25 ft. (Max.) CP tubing and then connect it to
the nasal cannula.
3. Connect the 7 ft. Crush-Proof tubing from the
oxygen output fitting of the Concentrator to the oxygen input fitting on the Pediatric Flowmeter.
4. Proceed to
Using the Pediatric Flowmeter with
or without a Humidifier Bottle in this Instruction
Sheet.
